This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Jon Spencer’s Blues Explosion and Calvin Johnson of Olympia’s Dub Narcotic Sound System have been flirting for a while now.
The JSBX covered a DNSS tune a few albums back; Johnson produced some tracks on the Explosion’s Acme LP. Here, they finally consummate the relationship, joining forces on nine numbers taped over a two-night stand in Johnson’s home studio. They make a fine couple; Calvin’s phlegmatic croak and funhouse keys are a perfect match for Spencer’s blooz revivalism and guitar skronk. But you wish they had spent a little more time writing (or at least planning ahead); the CD lasts 40 minutes, and the jammy, one-riff nature of many tunes suggests it took about that long to record. Even so, at least you’ll still respect them both in the morning.
