Ranking Roger releases "Rock The Casbah" remix to benefit Strummerville

In 1981, Joe Strummer and Mick Jones from the Clash recorded a version of "Rock The Casbah" with the Beat's Ranking Roger on vocals. That version was never released, and it remains in the Clash's archive. A remix of the version featuring Roger will be released next month on an EP benefiting Joe Strummer's non-profit organization Strummerville. According to Roger, Mick Jones gave him permission to release a remixed version of the track and even supplied him with stems from the original recording.  Roger then hooked up with producing duo Dopegrinders, who remixed the track. 

The remix of "Rock The Casbah" will be the lead track on the five song EP titled Rock The Casbah - An EP By Ranking Roger, which will be released next month to coincide with the 12th anniversary of Joe Strummer's death.  Pre-order the EP exclusively through Pledge Music (100% of the money raised will be donated to Strummerville).

Stream "Rock The Casbah" (Ranking Roger vs Dopegrinders) below, and find out more about the Strummerville non-profit organization here. A video of Ranking Roger explaining the project is also available to view below via Gigwise.

Peter Hook joined by Andy Rourke of The Smiths; talks New Order memoir

Peter Hook's been on tour in North America playing New Order records Low-Life and Brotherhood in full, along with other New Order rarities. Prior to last night's show in New York City, Hooky hinted that a friend of his would be joining him onstage, and as it turned out, the friend happened to be Andy Rourke from the Smiths (and Freebass). Rourke came on stage and performed "True Faith" with Hooky and his band The Light. So far video of the full performance of "True Faith" with Rourke isn't available, but here's video of the first minute or so of the song:



Full video of the performance, but no view of Rourke except at ~ 3:29 minutes in if you look to the left:

Thanks NYC for a great show last night! And thanks to my friend Andy from the Smiths for joining us on True Faith..!! pic.twitter.com/xkfIpGYkm3
— Peter Hook (@peter_hook1) November 8, 2014

Meanwhile, Hook has done a few interviews in promotion of the current tour. In a interview published last week, the folks at Vanyaland asked him about the New Order book that he's been working on. [In 2013, Hook told MTV's The Hive, "The New Order book will be like Mötley Crüe...when I write that book, there will be some filthy, dirty, dark secrets coming out."] Here's the update Hooky gave Vanyaland about his book:

"...I must admit I’ve been done a great favor by Bernard because he made such an awful job of his memoir that it has left it open to me for the proper New Order memoir. I’m on 1982 at the moment, which is quite interesting as we are just starting to prove ourselves."

He also discussed how much he loves playing long lost songs from New Order's catalog:

"I must admit, listening to these songs, it’s the first time I’ve listened to them in so long, and I listen to the wonderful [Brotherhood] trio of "All Day Long," "Every Little Counts" and "Angel Dust,"...I’m like, "Wow." They’re blowing me away those songs. "Shellshock!" What a great song to play! I never had this much fun playing it when I was with the others!"

Mark Gardener on Ride reunion: "I'd like to do it at some point, it's exciting"

Mark Gardener was on a West Coast tour last month, and after his show at Soho in Santa Barbara, Gardener was interviewed by Highlight Media. Gardener discussed his guitar pedals, his involvement in the Creation Records' documentary Upside Down, and threw much love the Smiths' way ("the Smiths was one of those bands I realize was brilliant, they really spoke to me"). But the BIG scoop of the interview was when Jason Reed asked Gardener about reforming Ride. Surprisingly, Gardener did not rule out the possibility of a Ride reunion. In fact, he said he's excited about the idea of one!

"Look, I think as long as we're all still alive there's still a chance. There's, there's no plans to, nothing's confirmed. I'm happy because I'm very proud of what we did. When we finished in '96, you kind of feel like, well, you feel like it's irrelevant, but the complete opposite seems to have happened. So, and you know, so that feels really good...

At this point Gardener seemed to consider the idea for a moment, then continued:

"I guess. I guess there is a chance. But, that's...I'm one quarter speaking, there needs to be three other quarters to kind of totally you know, commit and say we'll do this...we're good pals, we've been pals. Since Ride split, we've had good contact, we always get together because there's always ongoing sort of sonic business with Ride. We've tried to put out, everything...all of it, so...I don't know, it's so difficult, because I can't say...from my point of view, I'd like to do it at some point, it's exciting, but like I said, I'm just a quarter of that..."

For those keeping track, a few years back Andy Bell said the following about a possible Ride reunion:

"Well, never say never. We're good friends now. We get together once a year and just have a few pints and whatever. We're all pretty busy with what we're doing, but personally, it would be a shame if we never got to play those songs one more time."

And of course, Bell is no longer busy with Beady Eye since they announced their split last week!  So perhaps a Ride reunion will be in the offing soon. Stay tuned.

Watch the whole interview with Gardener below via Twitter user Nicole Riley & Creation Records. The comments about a reunion begin around 14 minutes into the video:

Joy Division/New Order drummer Stephen Morris remixes electro-act Fujiya & Miyagi

U.K. electro-pop act Fujiya & Miyagi released an album earlier this year titled Artificial Sweeteners. The band just debuted a new mix of the song "Daggers" which was remixed by Joy Division/New Order drummer Stephen Morris. The band told The Quietus how it was they got the legendary drummer to remix the track for them:

"We heard that Stephen liked some of the stuff we had done, so we thought we'd chance our arm and ask him if he'd be up for doing a remix which happily he was. Our last record Artificial Sweeteners was our most electronic since we began so it seemed natural to ask him to do it given his history."

Stream the Steven Morris remix of "Daggers" below courtesy of The Quietus:

Video: Depeche Mode 101 Q & A

The 1989 concert film Depeche Mode 101 was given a special screening last week in New York as part of the IFC's film series Stranger Than Fiction. After the screening, 101's filmmakers DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, along with the Depeche Mode superfans who appeared in the film (Jay Serken, Chris Hardwick and Oliver Chesler) took part in a Q & A and discussed the film. Director Pennebaker revealed he wasn't familiar with Depeche Mode or their music until working on the film, but had nothing but glowing words for the band (plus he turned into a big fan!):

"They were such a wonderful group to work with that probably, we think of that as our favorite film that we've ever made....I mean, we wanted to make a big film, like Gone With The Wind or something, and so it was no holds barred, anything would go...it was like, for the first time we were gonna be able to make the big film that we always wanted to, and this was the big film. And the band was so terrific! In the beginning, one song sounded just like the other as far as I could see. And by the end of it, we were totally whipped, that music was fantastic, and still is. That music is just amazing to me, and it's so, it's the probably the way music will be in 20 to 30 years too. It won't go away."

Watch a portion of the Q & A below:



Depeche Mode 101 was shot in Pasedena, California in 1988. Watch the film in its entirety here.

Johnny Marr: 'No opinion' on Rock Hall nomination

Guitar legend Johnny Marr was born on this day! Let's hope he's not having an unhappy birthday!

Meanwhile, unlike some of the other artists who have been nominated for induction to the 2015 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (some are even desperately begging their fans to vote for them), Marr really doesn't seem to care much whether the Smiths make it in or not. He told Australian mag Faster Louder:

"I’ve absolutely got no opinion on that because I don’t think anything’s going to happen," Marr admits. "I don’t really trouble myself with conjecture. If it were to happen, I’ll find out but I don’t think anything’s going to happen. It’s not even something that crosses my mind."

Marr released his second solo album Playland in October and is touring to support the record in North America over the next few weeks. Dates for the tour are posted below. Tickets for all dates are on sale now.

The Charlatans prep new LP 'Modern Nature'; stream songs now

The Charlatans return with a new studio album on January 26th. The album, Modern Nature, is the band's first without drummer Jon Brookes, who died in August 2013 from brain cancer. The Charlatans say they were determined to continue making music to honor Brookes' wishes, because he was adamant there should be another Charlatans record. The band headed into the studio at the beginning of the year and recorded the album utilizing three drummers -- Stephen Morris (New Order/Joy Division), Pete Salisbury (The Verve), and Gabriel Gurnsey (Factory Floor).

Two tracks from Modern Nature have premiered so far; "Talking In Tones" and "So Oh," both of which are available to stream below. The album does not yet have a North American release date, however fans interested in obtaining the import can pre-order the standard 11 track album, or deluxe edition (includes four extra tracks) from Piccadilly Records.
