Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore once revealed that he thought the band’s album title Dirty was inspired by his laundry pile. Guess creativity can even sprout from unwashed socks! 😅

Upon its initial release, The Clash’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” reached number 17 on the UK singles chart. Following the song’s inclusion in a Levi’s commercial, the single was reissued in 1991 and this time went to number one on the UK singles chart, knocking out Bart Simpson’s “Do The Bartman.” That in a nutshell is the UK singles chart.
The Clash’s Mick Jones turns 68 today. Showing him some love on today’s playlist.
