Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are getting the re-issue treatment and are starting things off on March 30th with Dirty Shirt Rock n Roll - The First Ten Years on Majordomo Records (by way of Shout Factory). There'll be plenty more written about that later on - but I think it's worth your time to take in a marvelous interview/conversation facilitated by one of Spencer's contemporaries and comrades in the realm of intense live presentation, a fellow soul-loving skinny white boy who dresses sharp and waves his thick black hair around: Ian Svenonious (most renowned of Make Up fame), via his Soft Focus interview series via VBS TV online.

More soon.....thanks for reading....(listening, watching...)
