Jakob Dylan Returns With The Wallflowers

Wallflowers Glad All Over

After two solo albums, Jakob Dylan returns with his first CD with The Wallflowers since 2005 when they released Rebel, Sweetheart. The band’s new album, Glad All Over, is out October 2. The first track “Reboot the Mission” has a dance reggae sound. Dylan told Rolling Stone he wanted to show the band could stay a rock band while still making a dance track. Meanwhile, the song not only name drops Joe Strummer but features one of Strummer’s old bandmates, Mick Jones of The Clash. Check out the new tune.

    National Clash Day

    Apparently, Saturday was National Clash Day, as well as National Kazoo Day. While I suspect that I was supposed to wear clothes that do not match, which I often do anyway, I am celebrating National Clash Day with one of the bands that helped keep my faith in rock music through the 1980s before the group broke up in 1986. So, celebrate National Clash Day with one of my favorite songs from The Clash, “Train in Vain” from London Calling (1979).

    Fortunately, there are no kazoos in the song.

    Should there be a National Clash Day in honor of the band? Leave your two cents in the comments.
