It's been obvious for many years now that the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion have been on an artistic decline, but I had no idea they were sliding so quickly . They can't even make it as a covers act . Are you happy with yourself, Matador ?

Recap As in football you have what is known as the “broken play,” this one could be called the broken show. A couple of technical errs and the absence of our comrade Greg made it a show that was heavy on music, light on talk. Not bad, but from our standpoint not our best effort either.

Well this is a surprise package, a really interesting Spanish wine for well under $20. It's not the usual sunny fruit, simple but good value wine.
