March 3: This sequence of songs may be a repeat, but the vibe is really incredible. Not only because there are a number of pieces in this mix that I would not know about without this resource (RP), but the continuity is really well worked out. Bravo! I ignored the Clash in their day, but discovered Joe Strummer here, for which I give thanks.
Cheers to that bambam! now I'm all perked up for a toxic empanada and some wacci bacci

New Zealand in da house! . Thankfully Mushy Peas remain a blighty only thing. Edit: For a proper curry in ChCh, check out "South of India" in New Brighton. Nummy Num nums.
It's been a 9 with me for years—I don't know why it's taken me so long to give it a 10. Trying to reserve space I guess but at this point I have to admit that there's really nothing I like better ...

...The song is about cultural diversity in London...
Not getting a lot of diversity per se; more like voluntary segregation and celebration of a single culture within a city - one of the things that makes Toronto such a great town. Every group celebrates their own traditions while respecting others. Diversity is more like the melting pot we have here. Some pretty cool mashups result, no doubt - but much is lost as well. Man, I'm hungry.Time for tikka masala!
I can't think of a more exciting, innovative, or passionate artists since Louis Armstrong picked up a trumpet!
Totally agree. Joe was conscious, literate, subtle, humorous, and human most beautifully and all at once. It took me about 20 listens to understand the real message—the beauty of diversity—behind of this deceptively punky tune. And plus, it rawks!
So anyway, I told him I was in a band He said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah? What's your music like?" I said, "It's um, um, well, it's kinda like You know, it's got a bit of, um, you know...."

Joe and the Mescaleros....it's all good stuff. 
ok then, if it's big in Oz, then mushy peas are back in big time in New Zealand. I'll retract my claim immediately.
