How Joe Strummer, singer of The Clash, plays Šaban Bajramović's song "Peno" on his show "London Calling" on BBC Radio 1
JOE STRUMMER'S LONDON CALLING - EPISODE 8 - JULY 15, 2001 BBC
Eight-part radio series features Joe Strummer from The Clash spinning his favorite tracks from around the world.
Joe Strummer, the legendary gravel-voiced punk-poet from The Clash, loved to listen to music on the radio. Even as he toured the world with "the only band that matters," he still had a dream to one day spin records for the BBC World Service, where he heard the latest UK hits over the shortwave band as a teenager in Africa.
He finally got his wish in 1999, when BBC World Service premiered Joe Strummer's London Calling. Between then and 2002, Strummer hosted a series of programs with a simple format - one man and his eclectic record collection. His globe spanning playlists included many of the rock, reggae and folk artists that inspired the Clash, plus many surprises.
These radio broadcasts inspired many listeners around the world, including film director Julien Temple, who prominently features these programs in his new documentary, Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten.
