Band Pimping: Big Audio Dynamite (Originally published February 22, 2010)

After leaving The Clash in the early ’80s, guitarist Mick Jones took his growing love for hip hop and sampling and started a band called Big Audio Dynamite.  He lived up to his nickname of Wack Attack (and no, I am not making that up), with plenty of ’80s rap influence on their stuff.  This song is a standard to me, yet whenever I play it, nobody knows what the hell it is.  So this is me telling everyone.  Enjoy it.
