Jon Spencer’s the reigning court jester of blues, a smart-aleck white guy who is part clown, part serious musician, part genius, and 100% fan of raunchy electric blues. His joyous, lo-fi music is sometimes so over the top that it’s hard to take seriously. It’s hard to tell if the weird, sometimes creepy words that [...]
In the late 90s, someone at Matador must have become tired of guitars or grown bored with indie rock because all of a sudden the label began releasing all kinds of really great electronic music.

AU, Plankton Wat, Pollens (Rendezvous) Portland's AU (pronounced "ay you") create freak folk worthy of that noble nomenclature. Their sound rises from the soil into the ether in phantasmagorical flourishes, like a less celebrated, less dub-enamored Animal Collective. Check out "Sum" from their self-titled 2007 CD for proof of their chaotic, demonic-fairy sublimity. Their songs...

I saw Busta live twice, didn’t really like either one. I saw Jay-Z at the Electric Factory for his Reasonable Doubt tour, he just stood in the same spot moving his arms back and forth. I saw Biggie at the Armory (where they taped that movie “The Show”), I probably saw The Roots about 75+ times (first time was with Beasties & The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion at the Civic Center...

YOU MAYBE A LITTLE FOGGYON EXACTLYWHAT a Theremin is, but you’ve probably heard one. Movie buffs might remember its eerie sound from the The Day the Earth Stood Still, or from Spellbound, Lost Weekend, or Ed Wood.
