The Radio Dept Biography

The Radio Dept. is a Swedish pop band signed to Labrador Records. They have released three full length albums, and a series of singles and EPs. The band originated in Lund, Sweden.

In 1995, The Radio Dept. was formed by Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson (who were old school friends). The name was taken from a gas station/radio repair shop in Lund, Sweden, which had a large sign with the name Radioavdelningen, (“The Radio Department” in Swedish) hanging outside their shop.

Since 1995 members have been coming and going and at some points there has never really been a Radio Department at all.
Martin Carlberg and Johan Duncanson started playing together in 1998 and decided to use the name The Radio Dept. Since then the band has done lots of gigs and lots of recordings. The Radio Dept. recorded 4-tracks in friends’ living rooms or at home, in smelly warehouse, in demo studios with blinking fluorescent lightning and at schools....more...source:last.fm

The Strokes - New York City Cops VIdeo and liric

Oh !

hahha I meant Ah !

No I didn't mean thatat all

here in the streets of American nights

Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life

Studied all the rules didn't want no part

But I let you in just to break this heart

Even though it was only one night

It was fucking strange

Nina's in the bedroom

She said time to go now

But leavin' it ain't easy

I got to let go

I got to let go

And the hours they ran slow

I said everynight she just can't stop sayin'

New York City cops

New York City cops

New York City cops

They ain't too smart

New York City cops

New York City cops

New York City cops

They ain't too smart

Well, kill me now, if I let you down

I swear it one day we're gonna leave this town

Stop----

Yes I'm leavin'

'Cause it just won't work

They act like Romans

But they dress like Turks

Sometime, in your prime

See me, I like the summertime

but, hey!

Nina's in the bedroom

She said time to go now

But leavin' it ain't easy

I got to let go

I got to let go

Oh!

Trapped in an apartment

She would not let them get her

She wrote it in a letter

Oh, I've got to come clean

The authorities they've seen

darling I'm somewhere in between

I said everynight they she can't stop sayin'

New York City cops

New York City cops

New York City cops

They ain't too smart

New York City cops

New York City cops

New York City cops

They ain't too smart

The Clash Biography

Mick Jones had a band called London S.S. with Bernard Rhodes who would become later The Clash's manager. Paul Simonon joined the London S.S. at its last legs. After, they decided to start all over again in a new band. Mick Jones decided to teach Paul Simonon how to play guitar, but as Paul had never played that instrument, it was too difficult for him. So they decided he should play bass, "because it's easier and has only four strings", as Paul said once.

They got Keith Levene as another guitarist and Terry Chimes as drummer. Bernard Rhodes was becoming the band's manager. Paul and Mick met Joe Strummer once, and Bernard asked him if he would like to join the band. Joe Strummer had another band (called The 101'ers) and was more musically experienced than the others by that time. He joined them on 31st May 1976, and Mick Jones said that it was a great deal getting Joe, because of that. Keith left the band, because the others said he wasn't into their project, so they voted him out. After, Terry Chimes left the band too. By that time The Clash consisted of only Mick Jones, Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon. Terry Chimes would be back only to record their first album.....more.....source:sing365.com
