Rock N Roll Continued x2





These are pictures of Joe Strummer from the Clash famous guitars. Also Paul's smashed bass from the iconic cover of London Calling. There was a special exhibit on the Clash when we went which was well worth the trip for me. It was amazing seeing some of Joe Strummers stuff and actually being able to get close to it. Finally there is a picture of me and Kaely on the sign on the way out of the museum.

Rock N Roll Spots 6: Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Cleveland Ohio






Over my reading week a bunch of my friends and I travelled to Cleveland so that we could visit the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. This is the sixth installment of Rock N Roll Spots. This is a museum and hall of fame dedicated to Rock N Roll. It is in Cleveland because that is the city Alan Freed coined the term Rock N Roll. Here are some pictures of the museums, some exhibits of the British invasion. Paul Simonon from the Clashs leather jacket and ZZ Tops infamous '33 roadster. The pictures aren't that good because you were not supposed to take pictures in there so I had to sneak them, but that is a different story all together. I will post some more as I get them from my friends.


cheers

Bloc Party



I just recently bought the Bloc Party album Silent Alarm Remixed. It is a 2x12 vinyl release. Bloc Party are an extremely energetic and very different band from England. This music makes me want to move immediately to England. Their new album is very good as well and I hope to eventually get it on vinyl but it is a very expensive import from the UK. Anyways check these guys out and you be happily surprised as long as you like you rock and roll with a beat you find yourself dancing to.
