IT’S NOT JUST THE GRAY HAIRS OR THE EXPANDING WAISTLINE THAT SUGGEST ONE IS GETTING OLD: IT’S ALSO WHEN THE ALBUMS YOU LOVE SO MUCH, AND SO VIVIDLY REMEMBER HEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME, HAVE BECOME A PART OF THE ROCK HERITAGE INDUSTRY. SO IT IS WITH LONDON CALLING BY THE CLASH, WHICH CELEBRATES ITS 40TH BIRTHDAY IN DECEMBER 2019.

The Tight Lines Project
WE LAST RELEASED A RECORDING ON THE STEREOPHILE LABEL SIX YEARS AGO—A JAZZ ALBUM FEATURING ATTENTION SCREEN, THE LATE BOB REINA’S FREE-JAZZ ENSEMBLE.

NEVERTHELESS, WE’VE BEEN KEEPING OUR EYES AND EARS OPEN FOR SUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES.
