Tonight he looks like a man who's in no mood for occasional conversation and one whose bass drum kick might knock you through a wall were you to encroach on his territory.
The rescheduling, we’ll allow, can account for the rather disappointing turnout at Wednesday’s show; the illness could explain the rather unimpressive gig.
It is a fitting venue for the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion who sing SPIN Magazine wanna tell you what to wear / But I ain’t gettin’ with that / Or MTV / Make up your own minds in Talk About the Blues.
Given that its the Explosions first LP following an eight-year gap its easy enough to twist that line into a punchline or snark: Well of course he remembers the 90s hes living in them.
