London Booted.
The DJ's over at Remix culture ground zero "Get Your Bootleg On" have completed a track by track reworking of The Clash's London Calling, with mixed results.
While there are admittedly a few duds, on the whole, this came out pretty damned brilliantly, if only for the extremely clever (and relevant) Spanish Bombs over Baghdad, and the totally unexpected, but staggeringly beautiful use of a Christina Aguilera vocal over The Card Cheat giving the song a fantastic 60's pop vibe. Highly recommended. Oh, and be sure to buy a tree in ol' Joe's name. Wouldn't ya?

Captain I salute you. And I'll buy a tree too. Nice work.
