Melody Maker: A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (PRESS, UK)
"No suprises here, but plenty of treats: Jon Spencer's
cochlea-piercing yelp at the close of "Snake Drive"; the humours hustlers' exchange
between Spencer and Burnside in "The Criminal Inside Me"; the murderous but casual
urgency that drives "Goin' Down South"" |

NME: Shepherds Bush Empire (PRESS, UK)
LIVE REVIEW (TEXT): "The legendary fragile Cat Power, she of the onstage
freak-outs and intoxicated, incoherent mid-song ramblings, is no longer with us.
The clouds have cleared both over Shepherds Bush and onstage tonight, as a sober
Ms Chan amazes all..."

The Stool Pigeon (PRESS, UK)
INTERVIEW/ARTICLE (TEXT): "After a decade in the wilderness, during
which time it was suspected he may have been claimed by his heroin addiction, Jonathan
Fire*Eater's extraordinary frontman Stewart Lupton is back with a new band, Childballads.
But he remains unsure whether he's got it in him to find the success he always craved."

TEXT: "I love Jon, we've been friends for a long time,
and I am not being the least bit obsequious when I say that the Blues Explosion
is pretty much my favorite band, at least of the last twenty years." |

Interviews Regarding: Bring Me The Head of Jon Spencer
(PRESS, US)
TEXT: "Tim saw the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion opening for the Jesus Lizard and said Spencer played some harp. At that time, we’d only played as Jack ‘O Fire a few times. Later, I met Spencer while I was touring with ’68 Comeback opening up for Boss Hogg. Spencer looked me over and asked if I was Jack ‘O Fire- like he was angry.

DazedDigtital.com: The Japanese Popstars: Destroy (PRESS,
UK)
TEXT: "The video is about Jon Spencer who seems very dragged
down by society, he reminds me of something similar to Michael Douglas in the movie
'Falling Down' and as the video moves on, he starts to see random 'strange things'
in the world around him. It's all very B-movie and we think it looks extremely cool.
Jon is an absolute legend and from the video, plays a great character too! " |

NME: Albums of The Year 1998 (PRESS, UK)
COMPLETE TEXT: "17,
Push The Button, Money Mark (Mo'Wax). All of the
hop, with out being self-conciously hip. Money mark is madcap keyboard repairman
turned madcap creator of wonderously casual, deliciously unrestrained pop and vital
Beastie Boys collaborator. "Push The Button" is funky, groovy and joyous, his Old Skool report reads:
"Couldn't do much better."" |

Vox: Push The Button [Review] (PRESS, UK)
TEXT: "Three albums on from those days, Money Mark has
blossomed from the cheesy, breezy keyboard king of the Beasties' hip little empire
into a sputtering engine of garage rock, '70s soul and Lord knows what else. And
the results are quite marvellous."

Select: Push The Button Sampler (PRESS, UK)
SHORT ARTICLE (TEXT): "Russell Simins plays the drums and Sean
Lennon plays bass. There was no logic to the video. This man was telling me a war
story. He was supposed to cross the channel and he didn't really wanna go, so he
tied the wheel up to make the boat go in a big circle. So I did the same with my
car."

Melody Maker: Phat Cash / Push The Button [Review] (PRESS,
UK)
TEXT: "From the catchy "Too Like You" to the mouth-watering
country drawl of "Rock In The Rain"; from the deep-fried "Maybe I'm Dead" marching
about to the clatter of spoons on saucepans to the gorgeous Booker-T-meets-Lennon
soul of "Hand In Your
Head", this is pure pop for anytime people."

[Review] (PRESS, UK)
TEXT: "Welcome to the cabinet-crafting, Espace-driving,
roach-toking, child-rearing, desert-dwelling, Cheap Trick-loving world of the Beasties'
experimental keyboard king Mark Ramos-Nishita. A world where out mild mannered hero,
previously a full-time carpenter and part-time session player, was hired to build
record shelves for Adam 'Ad Rock' Horowit..."

NME:Grand Slang [Review] (PRESS, UK)
"Crack open the WHite Lightning, oh quality-deprived
indie children - City Slang, alt-pop's most faithful benefactor, is ten years young.
And what finer way to celebrate a decade of inspired esoterica than this cookie-warming
grab-bag of rarities and previously unavailable lovelies?" |

Clash: The Sound of Simon: Harper Simon (PRESS, UK)
"And then I have so many people that I enjoy playing with
in my touring band, which are some players from Cat Power and some from Jenny Lewis’
scene, and Russell Simmons from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion,
who plays drums in my band. I imagine maybe I’ll make a record more with those guys
and maybe with Tom Rothrock."
