 Damage Review | Jon Spencer Blues Explosion | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
Jon Spencer and crew have created what rock music should have evolved into over the years instead of becoming stale and full of regurgitated pop riffs.
Jon is not someone who is afraid to be different and here he uses his genre bending style to infuse proper rock n roll with scratching DJs, rappers and various other weird and wonderful sounds to superb effect.
Jon overlays a distortion to most of his lyrics which makes it quite hard to understand him sometimes, but really adds to the music.

 Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: Plastic Fang: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Jon Spencer and his Blues Explosion weren't quite in the upper echelon of the above artists, but they were sufficiently high profile to appear in Rolling Stone and on 120 Minutes back in those headier mid-nineties.
In response to those failures, Spencer & Co. have returned to the basics for Plastic Fang: two guitars, a bag full of riffs, and frequent interjections of "Blues Explosion!" Never mind the tiny fact that the band's gimmick, if tired in the mid-nineties, is downright comatose these days.
Jon Spencer, as you probably all know by now, takes classic Elvis- style rock 'n roll and turns i...

 Tower Records - Plastic Fang * - Jon Spencer Blues Explosion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Spencer's songs are more direct than before, with little of the gutter-sleaze persona he worked so hard to perfect in his early days.
The peculiar New Orleans-style side trip of "Hold On" finds Spencer collaborating with Dr. John and Bernie Worrell, further proof that PLASTIC FANG is Jon Spencer's bid for the mainstream, and not a bad one at that.
Spencer's hammy vocal delivery prevents anyone from taking it all too seriously, and hearkens back to the lighthearted, novelty that made '50s r&b and rock 'n' roll so much fun.

 Jon Spencer Blues Explosion : Xtra Acme USA - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Xtra Acme finds Spencer and company returning to a structureless pattern, mixing tempos and beats, using theremins and modulation boxes, and tossing humor up against lustful sexuality.
For the first time since Orange, Spencer sounds like a man with unlimited confidence and possessed by a fervent desire to belt out momentous melodies.
On a remix of "Blue Green Olga," Spencer's voice is so suave, he could fill Ben E. King's shoes and sing at a 1950s prom.

For about 15 minutes, ACME had me convinced that Jon Spencer, mixed-up master of the jackknife punk-blues deconstruction, had finally gotten his act together.
Ah, but the fractured aesthetic favored by the ol' JSBX demands that the whole self-consciously deliver less than the sum of its parts, and once they get around to greasing up the sampler, the results are a characteristically mixed bag.
But in terms of guiding spirits, the presence of turntablists is less prominent than that of '50s RandB novelty-hit genius Andre Williams, who appears in shouted references to his songs ("The Greasy Chicken," "Bacon Fat").

It is difficult to convey to the Rock fan the experience that is the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, or to describe the joys and frustrations of this or any other of their albums.
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion is weird beast - it readily admits that it is not real authentic blues (Listen to the hilarious "Talkin' about the Blues" in ACME), but, for all that, it is closer to Blues than to Rock music.
The year that the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion released arguably it's finest album, Orange, I was knee deep into bands with happy names like Slayer and Napalm Death.

While this is specific to this one instance (and I cannot share the contract for privacy reasons), I think there are some points here that go across the board for all of these law firm online marketing services.
I’ve read a few of Stephen Spencer’s posts lately about the importance of commenting on blogs for bloggers and other online marketers.
In a nutshell, he argues that (legitimate, thoughtful) comments are as important as posting one’s own blog posts, in that they help build relationships.

 [RubbersoulInSpace](Jon Spencer)
Bandet heter The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion och det är en förmån att få vara närvarande.
I grund och botten står Jon Spencer stadigt med båda fötterna i träskmarkerna för det är verkligen blues det hela handlar om även om han hela tiden blandar in folk som Beck, Alec Empire, Wu-tang clan, Automator, personer som är rätt långt ifrån bluesen (Ok, Beck har väl varit där och nosat ett par gånger).
En spelning med Jon Spencer är en riktig upplevelse, mannen ifråga formligen exploderar på scenen och det är en fest för alla sinnen.

 Jon Spencer: MusicWorld® Hitmakers Story
I play rock & roll!," Jon Spencer shouted on the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's 1998 album Acme, inverting a much-quoted catchphrase used by delta bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell in the 1960s.
On the new Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's sixth studio album, Plastic Fang, guitarist/vocalist Spencer and his bandmates Judah Bauer (guitar) and Russell Simins (drums) have done what many of the trio's devotees might have considered inconceivable, i.e.
The resulting album, rather than blunting the intensity of the band's raw instrumental attack, actually sharpens it, with Spencer delivering some of his most impassioned vocal performances to date.

 Extra Width - The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Music Downloads - Online
Review: Extra Width is a crankin' piece of bluesoid ranting, with Jon Spencer working up one hysterical performance after another.
Similarly, "Soul Letter" is a hefty chunk of riff-muck, as is the noisy bliss of "Soul Typecast." The playing is energetic and unhinged, and Spencer drives the engine with his whoopin' and hollerin'.
Plenty of noticeably '70s production techniques add to the atmosphere, contributing significantly to what may be Spencer's best record.

New York City’s Jon Spencer Blues Explosion found some inspiration for their back-to-basics sixth LP, Plastic Fang (Matador) in an unlikely local setting.
We were the first American band to record there,” explains frontman Jon Spencer.
As it turns out, the studio is home to a rare vintage mixing console that originally belonged to London’s famed Olympic Studios during its late 60s/early 70s heyday.

 HERE & NOW - washingtonpost.com
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, New York noise-rocker Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosion got together with Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars to kick out the jams.
Five years later, the CD has finally surfaced stateside with an expanded track list and a new name, "The Man Who Lives for Love." The project was a one-off collaboration, but Spencer and the Dickinson brothers are reuniting for a handful of live dates, including one Saturday at the 9:30 club.
You'll get a double dose of the brothers Dickinson as their set with Spencer will be followed by a longer, jam-bandier one from NMA.

And as for the man himself, Jon Spencer truly has inherited James Brown's title of "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business." (I just hope he doesn't also inherit Soul Brother #1's penchant for wife beating and high-speed police chases too.)
Jon Spencer performed the show like he was on fire.

With a raw howling wail that has become The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's signature, this bass-less trio have frequently angered purists with their loose and highly individual interpretation of sacred blues music.
Their sonic explorations have also seen them take gospel, country, rock 'n' roll and soul music references blending them with modern remix-culture methodology, to create a sound that is both exhilarating and unique

Rock showman Spencer ripped open the headlining set with an overcaffeinated "Bellbottoms," sucking the crowd in like a hot rod Hoover.
During the horror flick single "She Said," from this year's return-to-form Plastic Fang, Spencer clawed the air werewolf-style, as second guitarist Judah Bauer tossed out solos fit for a Memphis barbecue.
Simins switched up timing here and there, Bauer added spice to the solos, and Spencer veered from holler to growl — but overall the night rolled like an 80-minute hip-shaking trance, as one song slipped into the next.

 The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
New York City's postmodern skuzz-blues impresario Jon Spencer has been deconstructing and reconstructing rock and roll clich's with the help of guitarist Judah Bauer and drummer Russell Simins for the better part of a decade now.
Even after a brief, superficial listen to the Blues Explosion you'll realize that Spencer's blues bears little resemblance to the blues of, say, Robert Johnson or Howlin' Wolf, but then that's not really the pond Spencer's fishing from.
On the song "Blues Explosion Attack," Spencer and Co. get crazy in the house of Olympia's chief indie oddball (and Blues Explosion buddy) Calvin Johnson, frontman of Dub Narcotic Sound System.

Yeah, Spencer's lyrics are still amazingly limited, but the swagger is boosted by a couple of top name producers-- Calvin Johnson of Dub Narcotic Sound System, and Steve Albini of Chicago.
Spencer's sultriness rubs off every now and again on bandmates Judah Bauer and Russell Simmins.
Not every excursion is one for the better, but at least they've still got more muscle than fat.
