What's the best starting point if you've never heard Jon Spencer Blues Explosion?

Savage Clone · 02.23.2009, 02:57 PM

Get Orange and Extra Width. They entertained me for about six weeks when they came out, but I haven't found that music interesting in years. No staying power.

Pffft. They have the power alright.

Start with Orange. If you can find it, there's a great compilation of their early singles and EPs out called Jukebox Explosion, that's really full of their greatest moments, live and otherwise. Also check out their collab with Beck on a track called 'Flavor', it's on youtube.

These guys really were one of the best live acts around in the 90s, too bad the glory has faded. They do small tours now and then, but Judah is mostly tied up in Cat Power affairs and Jon is wasting his time in Heavy Trash. Russell is doing something, but I don't remember what it is.

Hmm, yeah. I just noticed that. Although I also notice that you mentioned (by way of a recommendation rather than a warning) their collaboration with Beck. This must surely render your post invalid in that you clearly weren't of sound mind when you made it.

I used a pic too.

StevOK · 02.23.2009, 04:34 PM

Plastic Fang is pretty good.

I don't need visual aids. Also THE BECK COLLAB IS AMAZING.

_Orange_ is a classic. great record.

take a whiff of my pantleg.

joe11121 · 02.23.2009, 04:43 PM

Orange is awesome

Savage Clone · 02.23.2009, 04:46 PM

I used to LOVE Orange, but after a while the schtickiness of the band started to get on my nerves.
I haven't gotten rid of the LP, though, so I guess it's worth hanging on to.

blunderbuss · 02.23.2009, 05:26 PM

I'm with Savage Clone on this - I used to listen to Orange constantly (when I wasn't listening to the Boss Hog album that came out around the same time), but now if I put it on there's not a single track that can hold my attention all the way through.

Glice · 02.23.2009, 05:50 PM

A band I've always considered hideous, in spite of really liking them in theory.
