    Saw jsbx in the early 2000s, at the 930 Club in Washington DC. Ticket price was extremely modest, and there was no such thing as a bad seat in the house. Fantastic concert and the band gave you your money's worth. These guys will always be one of my favorites. Always

    Jon Spencer...who STARTED the "pawn shop" off brand guitar revolution over 20 years ago...he knows more about obscure weird electric guitars from the '60s than anyone ! I was amazed to see their interest in obscure Electronica from the '60s...especially White Noise...An Electric Storm. I have a copy with an alternate cover. Delia Derbyshire was amazing....look up her life story and listen to her other stuff that survived the BBC's axe. They should make a movie about her...and it should star Nicole Kidman ! Roky Erickson and The Thirteenth Floor Elevators...need I say more !!!!!

    • @danielstoddart
      @danielstoddart Před 5 měsíci

      I love JSBX and Spencer, I'm a huge fan. But it wasn't Spencer, it was Dexter Romweber of the Flat Duo Jets down in Carrboro, NC who started the pawn shop guitar thing earlier than that, back in the 1980's. Also it was Sonic Youth in NYC. Don't ask me how I know...

    Delia Derbyshire didn't write the Doctor Who theme tune, as Jon implies here. Ron Grainer wrote the tune, intending it to be performed as a swashbuckling orchestral piece. Since the show's producers didn't have the budget for an orchestra, Derbyshire rearranged it for synthesizers while Grainer was on holiday.

    Re the Cosimo Matassa Story, I was pillaging the cd collections at three of my local libraries, taking out my five cd limit every week for awhile and this was one of the albums I found. Nothing lasts forever though and when I last went in they told me that I'd be the last ever borrower of a cd from them as that week the city libraries entire collection of cds and dvds was being donated to the local prison.

    What's the story on why these guys broke up? The only thing I could find was an interview where Jon said: “There were just circumstances which made it impossible to continue working,” Spencer says. “It was very unfortunate, especially since we were in the middle of promoting that last album. It was a real blow. It took me awhile to mourn that and get over it, but I’m moving on.”

      Well I guess it's been 3 years but at least an official announcement was made about it a week or two ago. Judah Bauer has some kind of condition or ailment that prevents him from playing music in the capacity required to continue onward.
      In spite of that, I will state quite frankly, the Blues remains #1.
