Thanks for this brilliant set, Steenbeck. You're gonna wonder where I've been, I know, but I'd never heard of the 101ers - now I'm a convert on the hunt for a copy of Elgin Street Breakdown.
Haven't heard the 101ers in ages & LKJ & Lightnin' Hopkins are always welcome
Especially like the Bessie Smith, the Fela, and the blues tracks. Dangerous playlist though, Steenbeck- you almost make me want to commit a crime just so I'll get thrown in the slammer..
Thanks everyone. Yeah, the 101ers are kick-ass. I'm such a huge fan of Joe Strummer, and a very young Joe Strummer....mmm.
