Big Audio Dynamite: “The Bottom Line” (1985)
If punk died when The Clash signed to CBS, then this is punk’s creepily reanimated zombie.

Given enough rope, Mick Jones blows up any chances of a Clash reunion with a punk multimedia remix/reboot dubbed Big Audio Dynamite.
Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, together again. It isn’t a Clash reunion, but it is the best thing either has done since Sandanista.
The song “Just Play Music” sort of sums it up, as BAD tones down the multimedia experiment to focus on the music.
One of the cuter songs over their career, and one more bands should take to heart.
Megatop Phoenix takes the mixed media experiment to new heights. I know, I thought they were moving away from that with their last…
Another sweet song about three-thirty long that doesn’t have an F’ing thing to do with punk music.
A stripped-down vision of the revolution, with meat ‘n potatoes melodies and the usual underdog charm.
