A month in the making, a post about the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the band I was most compared to in my NYC days (1998-99), before those comparisons turned to the White Stripes.
Jon Spencer made it big with JSBX, but older fans remember him from his similarly-styled but rougher-sounding previous band, Pussy Galore, whose records were always harder to find than the Explosion's, but are just as worthwhile for music fans.
The band has collaborated with tons of other artists (R.L. Burnside and Dub Narcotic Sound System, notably) and been remixed by countless others (Beck, Chuck D, and members of Atari Teenage Riot among them).
Bellbottoms is the lead-off track off 1994's Orange, a magnificent fucking record.
