How can we say goodbye if you don’t leave?

Ah, crap.

I was all set to switch off the lights and lock this place up for good, but no sooner did I post my goodbye and clear the files off the server than two wise friends of mine made me reconsider my decision. I wish they spoke to me before I started breaking shit down.

Speaking to my friends and explaining my reasons for wanting to call it quits made me realize how fond I’ve gotten of this place. It’s a hassle at times. It burns up too much of my free time. I hate having to expend the effort to block assholes who hotlink to my files.

But I didn’t realize how much I’d miss doing this.

I’ll restore the music files for December later, but for now here’s something to tide you over. It’s a mission statement and tribute to Joe Strummer, dead four years tomorrow, all in one.

The Clash – Capital Radio Two (from 1979’s The Cost of Living EP, collected on Super Black Market Clash, 1994) - That new box set of The Clash's singles looks fantastic, although the one single per CD gimmick is a little impractical for casual listening. I'd pick it up for the "Justice Tonight/Kick It Over" 12" dub mixes of "Armagideon Time" alone.
