“I’m curious about the artists you name on Meat and Bone’s first song, “Black Mold.”
Hurricane Irene was predicted to hit New York City last summer. I have a storage space in my apartment building that’s in the basement, and the Blues Explosion rehearses in the basement, and both places were predicted to flood. In the process of moving things I found boxes of old LPs. The jackets were damp and moldy and were just a big mess. I guess it’s a classic blues song. It’s about a storm. It’s about high water. And it’s about the loss of those records. The list of artists are some of the records that were ruined.” – Erin Osmon interviews Jon Spencer for Time Out (16 October 2012)
