Ian Svenonius , Jon Spencer

Soft Focus Interview (Video)

November 20, 2009 6:44 p.m. by Max Burke
Average Rating: 4.25

When two legendary frontmen get together for a discussion, the result is often a must-watch clip for rock disciples. In this case, Jon Spencer (he of Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, Heavy Trash, and Pussy Galore), and Ian Svenonius (of Nation of Ulysses, the Make Up, and Chain & the Gang) got together at Kutsher's Country Club in upstate New York at this year's All Tomorrows Parties festival. Svenonius' unique demeanor and interview style are matched against Spencer's encyclopedic knowledge of classic blues and rock 'n' roll. Among the topics they discuss: Ike & Tina Turner, the benefits of collaboration, and the fashion sense of rock stars. Two more episodes of Soft Focus from ATP will be premiering in the coming weeks: Suicide on Nov. 27 and Buzz Osborne (Melvins) on Dec. 3. [VBS]

No matter how many times I see it, it's still difficult for me to get use to Spencer talking sincerely.
