Episode 49: Jon Spencer The James McMahon Music Podcast

    • Music Interviews

I’m speaking to rock 'n' roll royalty on this episode – the great Jon Spencer, of Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, Heavy Trash, and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – and now, Jon Spencer & the Hitmakers, whose new album, the excellent, wild, weird, strange and characteristically uncouth, Spencer Gets It Lit, is out now.

Have you ever wondered how many times Jon Spencer has said in his life BLUUUUUUES EXPLOSION? Wonder no more. His favourite ever Sex Pistols song? I’ve got you covered. What he was doing when the world fell off its axis? We get into a bit of that too. The audio is a bit scratchier than usual - hey, rock 'n' roll doesn’t come bubble-wrapped baby - but I hope you find this episode somewhere near as enjoyable an experience as I had speaking to one of my favourite ever songwriters and performers. Hail hail, Jon Spencer.
