VOTD: The Clash meets Gorillaz

I became a fan of The Clash at an early age due to having MTV at the beginning of the 80s and getting into videos for Radio Clash, Rock The Casbah and Should I Stay Or Should I Go. The combination of various genres was and still is extremely exciting to me.

Fast Fwd to nearly ten years ago. Damon Albarn of Blur, along with Tank Girl comic Book artist, Jamie Hewlett, created Gorillaz, featuring a host of collaborators. It began in 98 with a full album release in 2001. Trip Hop, Pop, Electro, hip hop, funk, rock, etc... an audio stew of sounds.

Among the albums to which I have been awaiting of 2010, is the early March release of Plastic Beach, the third album from Gorillaz. This album features a collaboration featuing both Mick Jones & Paul Simonon, 2/3 of The Clash!!!

Below is a 30 second clip of them in the studio. Enjoy!!!
