They’re coming for ‘you.

They have things that you want.

They are willing to talk about

sexual topics in plain language.

What’s more, their new album is pressed into silver vinyl. I don’t know what all this means. I just know that I went to the show and I wanted to just marry anybody that I saw, be- cause as far as I was concerned, there was no reason to continue, like, doing anything, let alone seeking the girl of my dreams. I had seen the blues explosion, and my life was for-

ever changed. It was a pivotal time in my grow- |

ing up process. And I’m twenty-one.

Spencer had two guitars and a drummer. He played one of the guitars.

He sang as well as played his guitar. Jon used a Beta-57 mike with excellent success. The beta-57, for those who don’t know,

is primarily an instrument mike. On the higher frequencies, it tends to distort, also distort- ing when there is an overload of sound. Like when you yell. Jon yelled often. But a lot of times when a band yells all the time it seems really kind of sophomoric, but when Jon yelled It added a sort of depth to the music, that wasn’t there before. In a musical sense, there was really no place else to go.

The Blues Explosion takes traditional blues structure and sentiment, and completely re- works it. You really don’t know where they are going next. In a way, they take a medium of the blues and rework and rework it at an almost free-form level, until they have a set of char- acters with which they express pure emotion. The only retro-type revival thing that I could think to compare them to would be Southern Cul- ture on the Skids, and when I saw them, they had six women from the audience throwing chicken into the crowd. Needless to say, in the city of Vancouver, which I think of as a fairly uptight and conservative city, I was completely amazed.

I want to express what was going on. The show was just, like, totally hopping. Jason Wood said, “Well, let me think...don’t start typing what I say. Well, I came home, and I had this really weird circular brown stains on the knees of my pants. And I didn’t fall down outside, I

mean, I was inside the whole time. I was danc- ing lot, and every once in awhile, and he ever all heard the music I would just go ‘Huhhhhh’ and I would look at Jeremy and he was way big- ger than me, and he would look down at me and just go, ‘Yeah.’ I think I fell down ina pud- dle of beer, because I think I fell down in all the beer we were spilling because we were danc- ing in such a tight circle. Then when I went home I was just breathing through my nose and I thought I was going to throw up because I’d had an egg salad sandwich earlier in the day.”

Well, that about sums it up for me, too.
