  CONTEXT NEEDS A CONTEST:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Give Em Enough Rope: working at the limit of discourse, sabotaging the machinery of ideological closure, this writing turns in on itself, sacrifices itself, in order to establish a space of possibility beyond itself.
We are written, entrained in the structures of hegemonic discourse, roped in (as Andrews's title suggests) by the language of the oppressors.
But we can use that rope, it seems, if not to escape from the prison towers (for we can never be fully outside) then at the least to measure its halls, its walls, to redirect ourselves through its passageways, to cross and recross in labyrinthine circuits which turn the towers in on themselves.

 Give 'Em Enough Rope Review | Clash | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
Give 'Em Enough Rope ranks as one of the strongest albums of punk era.
Released after their 1977 self-titled debut and before their massively successful 1979 epic "London Calling," 1978's "Give 'Em Enough Rope" holds true to be one of the greatest transition albums of all time.
With "Give 'Em Enough Rope," The Clash retain their punk roots, but start to draw in more influence from more melodic genres.

 The Clash - Give Em Enough Rope - Record Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Give Em Enough Rope is also quite short - with 10 songs all up clocking in at 37 minutes, it's certainly no double (or triple) LP.
The rest of Give Em Enough Rope after this is probably not as memorable, it's not that the songs are bad, I just don't think they have the killer hooks a lot of their other works are littered with.
So, Give Em Enough Rope is probably not the strongest Clash release; it certainly didn't have the same impact of the album before or after it, but I think it provides a good stepping-stone and an insight into where the band were in 1978 and where they were going.

 Rolling Stone : The Clash: Give 'Em Enough Rope : Music Reviews
Give' Em Enough Rope, their second album (The Clash, released in the U.K. in 1977, remains unissued here, as do several remarkable singles that appear on neither LP), is a rocker's assault on the Real World in the grand tradition of Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed and Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols.
Give 'Em Enough Rope means to sound like trouble, not a meditation on it.
That means the punks too—the Clash among them—now have enough rope: they no longer live in a world they never made.

The teaming was quite controversial within the punk community, and the sound of Give 'Em Enough Rope is considerably cleaner, yet the more direct sound hardly tamed the Clash.
Even with such flaws, Give 'Em Enough Rope ranks as one of the strongest albums of punk era.

GIVE EM ENOUGH ROPE contains several of the band's most popular songs, which rangefrom the defiant "Tommy Gun" to the sensitive "Stay Free", a contrast confirming the Clash's wider musical ambitions.
It may not be as inspiring as their debut, but as a whole, The Clash were never short of inspiring and with Give 'Em Enough Rope, you just knew they were a step away from greatness.
When I first got a hold of the Clash's back catalogue 'Rope' was one of the last of their albums I got, at the time I was disappointed I didn't think it was half as gripping or intense as their debut.

 Give ’em enough rope: Punk rock jump rope at the Y
After at least 20 minutes of vigorous jumping rope, the class splits into five groups and lines up at one end of the gym for relay races, sprints, crabwalks (squatting while walking) and wheelbarrows (one person being held by the legs like a wheelbarrow), giving everyone flashbacks to seventh-grade gym class.
The men in the class approach jumping rope differently, like a race to be won, a goal to be met or a fierce demonstration of strength and endurance.
Haft is pleased that jumping rope is finally a fun workout enjoyed by men also, and in his Punk Rope class these boys never have to be worried about being called a sissy.

Throughout 1977, Strummer and Jones were in trouble with the police for a range of minor crimes ranging from petty vandalism to stealing a pillowcase, while Simonon and Headon were arrested for shooting racing pigeons with air guns from the roof of their rehearsal studio.
The band's second album, the Sandy Pearlman-produced Give 'Em Enough Rope, was the first to feature Headon on all cuts.
Give 'Em Enough Rope was the first Clash album officially released in the U.S., and the Clash went on their first tour of the U.S. to support it in early 1979.

 Andrews cont.
Em at first appears to be a colloquial abbreviation of the pronoun them, with the conventional apostrophe omitted for some unknown reason.
And it could refer as well to the em-space of the typesetter, the space of a particular articulatory duration and emphasis, the open space of writing itself and of the writing of the subject-position of the reader.
The poem "Give Em Enough Rope" develops on a new structural plane: no longer specifically foregrounding motion (or the lack of it), the title poem explores the possibilities of spatial refraction.

 THE CLASH
The band hit the studio after this to record their second album ‘Give ‘Em Enough Rope’ over three months in the UK and the US with production by Sandy Pearlman.
‘Give ‘Em Enough Rope’ catapulted the band onto the US scene and they set out on a tour of the states with Bo Diddley in support.
The influences they experienced from this tour were apparent on their return to the UK from a new musical direction, and their classic rock and roll quiffed up look.

Though they hit a few clunkers ("Cheapskates"), this album is a near classic and gives a hint of the band to come that would light up the world with London Calling.
The opening trio of songs on 'Give 'Em Enough Rope' is one of the perfect runs in punk nay all rock music history.
Give 'em Enough Rope will probably remain the most overlooked studio release by the band.

 Give 'Em Enough Rope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Give 'Em Enough Rope is The Clash's second album.
It was released in 1978 by CBS Records.
After the success of their self-titled album The Clash, expectations were high, but some criticized Give 'Em Enough Rope over the polished sound of (Blue Öyster Cult and Dictators producer) Sandy Pearlman's production, which these critics maintained was too clean and failed to capture the raw power of the band's debut album.

I've been revisiting my punk rock collection, and one album that still sounds fresh is The Clash's Give 'Em Enough Rope.
Following their raw and wonderful debut album, Give 'Em Enough Rope is more polished, yet more energetic than the their first.
Give 'Em Enough Rope may not be as artistic as The Clash's follow-up album, London Calling, but to me, it's the zenith of punk.

 3am Interview: AN INTERVIEW WITH PAUL SIMONON
Simonon was too smart and multi-cultural to be attracted by the racist undertones of the skins; he was into the sharp lines, the street-tough look and the outlaw stance that would soon become integral to the presentation of The Clash.
Equally as importantly, he is producing technically-accomplished paintings that are traditional -- classic, even -- in form, yet stunning enough to find favour amongst a scene cluttered with charlatans and conceptualists.
Give 'Em Enough Rope is a solid rock record but it was quite different to our debut too.

 Books | Give 'em enough rope
Using the example of the fabled Indian rope trick, Lamont aims to show, and largely succeeds, how people will believe a thing is true, despite all rational evidence to the contrary, indeed despite outright denials of its existence, if it is repeated that it is true often enough.
For the purposes of his book, all his premises are derived from the description of the Indian rope trick given in an article published on 8 August 1890 in the Chicago Daily Tribune.
After a while, bloody limbs, a torso and, finally, a head would drop to the ground, followed by the fakir who would reassemble the pieces and the original boy would spring smiling back to life.

 Give 'Em Enough Rope: Krabi, Thailand
Against all my better judgement, heart beating like a rabbit, I leaned back over the edge of the cliff, and as King gradually loosed off the rope, bounced feet first off the cliff face for a couple of minutes until the ground rose to meet me. It was a miracle.
From the ground it seems simple enough, but when you are up there with your face pressed against rock, trying to flatten yourself to reduce the load on your fingers, you can’t see a damn thing.
Coming down this time, I actually trusted the rope, the same way you might trust the brakes in your car, and gliding back to the ground was actually a pleasant denoument.

A city agency charged with investigating discrimination plans to file a complaint Monday that questions the legality of the signs, which Vento has said are directed at the Mexican immigrants in Geno's South Philadelphia neighborhood.
The councilman said he sent Vento a letter "politely" asking him to take down the sign because "it's bad for the neighborhood and bad for tourism." He heard the answer was no, but he did not hear it from the cheesesteak purveyor himself.
The city's immigrants, hesitant to give Vento a bigger bullhorn, have been reluctant to organize an official boycott or file their own complaint.

It seems to me that we should all be more worried about this fanatic minority trying to take over our government by successfully purchasing the souls of ambitious politicians like Dr. Bill Frist, rather than quibbling about Senate rules, the "nuclear option," and how many times the filibuster has been used by each party.
John Dean, our favorite second act American, thinks Dr. Bill may hang himself if he actually did try to exercise the nuclear option, but in the meantime enough rope is being furiously manufactured for the rest of us.
