Jon Spencer Blues Explosion were generally more explosion than blues. JSBX always seemed too interested in warping the conventions between not just their titularly suggested genre but also those of hip-hop, funk, art rock and punk. They did however much they denied it ride a certain amount of blues-nostalgia towards a level of attention that... Read More
+אחרי שבועיים ללא עונג שבת - חוזרים בכל הכוח. או במילים מוכרות: גליון ענק לחג! איזה חג? מה זה משנה, העיקר שיש כאן משהו ענק. ,
They say there are no windows in casinos so that gamblers lose track of the time spent at the countless card tables and slot machines in Las Vegas. The Palms Casino and Resort is no different, but attendees of Matador Records 21st anniversary party, simply dubbed Matador at 21 , didn't need change in light to see that time can be both cruel and redemptive. From the physical appearance of Robert Pollard, the successful national tour that Pavement was concluding, the ecstatic anticipation of the Guided By Voices reunion, and empty seats that younger bands like Girls and Shearwater [...]
Frank Yang The generally packed Matador At 21 schedule didn't allow time for much activity beyond getting rocked and sleeping it off, but on Saturday I still managed to get away from The Palms and over to the strip with Dave Rawkblog and Brad Almanac for some Vegas-style (read: totally excessive) buffet and celebrity-sighting (Pete Rose and Tim Gunn were hanging at Caesar's Palace while I bought a new mouse), and it's a good thing that I loaded up before the evening's festivities, because this day was going to be a long [...]

"Either be hot or cold. If you are lukewarm, the Lord will spew you forth from His mouth." Truer words have never been spoken. Jerry Lee Lewis said that shit, as writer Mike Edison quotes the Killer kicking off his liner notes for the 2010 reissue of the Blues Explosion's Orange. Or should I say [...]
I'm assuming that most of you would be at the Palms this weekend if possible. Think about it. We hit the Blackjack table between sets. Whoah?! Is that Kim and Thurston over there on the slot machines? For the rest of us that can't make it to Vegas this weekend, the next best thing is happening. MySpace Music in collaboration w/ Matador will be streaming the shows this weekend and you can find the set times below. There's a few tickets left, so scoop them up while you can! [...]
2010 ha sido el año más productivo en la carrera del dúo Perrosky. En marzo lanzaron el EP Campante y sonante , tres meses después Son del montón y ahora anuncian un nuevo disco: Tostado . Pero a diferencia de todos sus registros anteriores, facturados íntegramente por los hermanos Álvaro y Alejandro Gómez en su estudio Algorecords, Tostado contó con un productor invitado: nada menos que Jon Spencer, uno de los máximos referentes del rock y blues moderno al frente de Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion o Heavy Trash .

Instead of a quick, witty thing to say, I just want you to figure out which band playing this week is being spoofed with the photograph above. Winner gets a note from me telling you that you won! Thursday, September 23rd The xx, Warpaint, Zola Jesus at The Fox Theater -- Oakland This is an [...]
Finally, a good video. No incoherent plot line, no pretensious Cirque Du Soleil costumes or characters, no cutesy hipster "we're nearing 30, but it's still fun to play dress up with our friends" bullshit. Well done, Thee Oh Sees . Catch Thee Oh Sees on tour this year, with amazing acts like Pavement, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Flaming Lips - or if you live in Denver, on their own.

The Jim Jones Revue From: London, United Kingdom London rockers The Jim Jones Revue have risen from the ashes of legendary UK garage rockers Thee Hypnotics to deliver the world from the computer generated focus group pap that passes as music today. It's savage, it's raw, it's exciting, it's rock & roll in it's purest form. With their new album , Burning Your House [...]
Let’s play a little game of visualization, shall we? I want you to close your eyes and imagine the most culturally vibrant city in the world, where everywhere you turn there’s either a bar or nightclub, and no one seems to ever sleep as the party lasts all day, every day! Did I happen to mention that it’s on an island, almost separated from reality? Now I want you to picture a little slice of heaven amidst all this hedonism, a grassy, artificially-created sanctuary where residents can go to seek even more pleasure, often in the form of music.
