Singer and founder of The Blues Explosion told Toazted things about his new record called "Damage".

"We recorded more than 30 songs and picked the 13 best ones. It feels good to choose from lots of good songs!"

In May 2003 we caught up with Jon Spencer, who was taking a break from recording by doing only a few concerts in Europe. He shared with us his philosophy on the power of performing:

"A rock 'n roll concert is something of a ritual. It's almost a religious rite. I think everybody comes to a show because they want to change a little bit and move outside their normal selves."
