Jon Spencer Blues Explosion “2 Kindsa Love”
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion “2 Kindsa Love” b/w “Let’s Smerf” 1996. Mute Records, limited edition 7″ on pink vinyl. Today, February 5th, is Jon Spencer’s birthday (b. 1965) according to the excellent all-things JSBX pop-catastrophe. “2 Kindsa Love” appears on their ‘96 album Now I Got Worry, a record in my top 5 of JSBX releases (soooo good: “Wail,” “Can’t Stop,” “R.L. Got Soul”) . It’s hard-hitting, ass-shaking funky and features Thermos Malling of Doo Rag (a 90′s lo-fi punk blues from Arizona who toured with Beck, JSBX, R.L. Burnside and Ween) “for the banging.” “Let’s Smerf” is a riotous freak-out jam that was included on the 2010 CD reissue of Now I Got Worry.
Daily (maybe) pulls from the vault: 33-1/3, 45, 78, old, older, classic, new, good, bad. Subjective. Autobiographical. Occasionally putting a record up for sale.
