Pod Like a Hole

The Clash: London Calling

Pod Like a Hole

Show Notes

Your three hosts have reached the home stretch. The last handful of our favorite albums to review for our "Run the Gamut" season. Steve, Marc and Eric have all had excellent picks, weird ones, and every now and then, one of us shows up with a card up our sleeve. In this case, Eric is the Card Cheat, so to speak. In this jam packed, bonus sized episode, we change our name to " Pod Em' Enough Rope " and give you the full run down of the Clash discography and its place in punk history, touch on the solo and side work of Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, and then give you the coveted track-by-track analysis of "London Calling". Does this record deserve it's spot on all the Top 100 lists? Is it truly a "must have" for music fans? Or is it a Cadillac oil stain on a supermarket parking lot? We will decide...but you can decide too (though we know our rights as hosts to be correct). Do you agree? Disagree? Who's your favorite Clash member? Do you Stan-dinista? Reach out and let us know.

Ok it's time to cut the crap, and enjoy this episode!

This episode concludes our discussion of The Cure and this Pod Like a Hole season by analyzing the album Disintegration. Do we end the season on a sour note, or do we find ourselves whisked away to a world of wind chimes and thunderclouds rumbling in the distance? Just like one of the themes of the record, everything must come to an end. We thank you, faithful listeners, for following us as we talked for countless hours about our favorite music, artists, and bands in what felt, at times, a neverending project. We ain’t quite dead yet though. Stay tuned. All good things…

This is the second of the two part Songs in the Key of Life episodes on the Pod Like a Hole Podcast. Picking up with Isn't she lovely, the hosts go deep into their notes and feelings about the second half of Stevie Wonder's opus Editors note: This is the last time I drew the straw on editing an episode. We only have a handful left before wrapping the show up. YEARS of staying up late and cutting the conversations together of Eric, Marc, and I always re-reminded me why I've been pals with these guys for years. It was a joy and I'll miss doing it.
