Indenfor moderne musik ken den egentlige jul vel bedst fejres i dag, hvor The Clash’s London Calling, ledestjernen af en moderne rocknroll-plade, kom til jorden for 28 \u00e5r siden . Det skete s\u00e5 ikke i en krybbe i Mellem\u00f8sten, men istedet i vinylduftende pladebutikker over hele Europa, ja, selv i Viborg, hvor jeg fandt mit eksemplar. Vi har naturligvis skrevet om London Calling f\u00f8r, s\u00e5 for afvekslingens skyld her Allmusic.com’s vidnesbyrd:<\/p>\n

– Give ‘Em Enough Rope, for all of its many attributes, was essentially a holding pattern for the Clash, but the double-album London Calling is a remarkable leap forward, incorporating the punk aesthetic into rock & roll mythology and roots music. Before, the Clash had experimented with reggae, but that was no preparation for the dizzying array of styles on London Calling. There’s punk and reggae, but there’s also rockabilly, ska, New Orleans R&B, pop, lounge jazz, and hard rock; and while the record isn’t tied together by a specific theme, its eclecticism and anthemic punk function as a rallying call. While many of the songs — particularly “London Calling,” “Spanish Bombs,” and “The Guns of Brixton” — are explicitly political, by acknowledging no boundaries the music itself is political and revolutionary. But it is also invigorating, rocking harder and with more purpose than most albums, let alone double albums. Over the course of the record, Joe Strummer and Mick Jones (and Paul Simonon, who wrote “The Guns of Brixton”) explore their familiar themes of working-class rebellion and antiestablishment rants, but they also tie them in to old rock & roll traditions and myths, whether it’s rockabilly greasers or “Stagger Lee,” as well as mavericks like doomed actor Montgomery Clift. The result is a stunning statement of purpose and one of the greatest rock & roll albums ever recorded.<\/em><\/p>\n

London Calling blev udsendt en uge efter Pink Floyd’s eget dobbeltalbum The Wall, og var for de af os, der fandt dens noget firkantede budskaber og dengang allestedsn\u00e6rv\u00e6rende svulstige musik uspiselig, et fantastisk fristed. Nu det er weekend, og m\u00e5ske med tid til den slags, kan vi kun opfordre til at s\u00e6tte London Calling p\u00e5 i aften, skrue h\u00f8jt op og stornyde dens vibrerende energi, musikalske vision og menneskelige overskud. Har man ikke allerede pladen, kan den k\u00f8bes i butikker landet over, fra Hvide Sande til R\u00f8nne, for sm\u00e5 70 kr. eller derunder – den er det tidobbelte v\u00e6rd!
