Fusing together the pulse of drone pop and worldly instrumentation, this experimental music would best be described as a landscape, as a biome all its own. This musical phenomenon has come to be known as Earth Folk, a type of music inspired thematically by the natural environment: flora, fauna, soil, stars, and the human experience. Less

The original Mods were heavily influenced by style and fashion, listened to modern jazz, ska, and rhythm and blues, wore form-fitting suits and rode Vespa or Lambretta motor scooters. We will focus our exploration on the early-mid 1960s Mods, who were listening to British bands such as The Who, The Small Faces, The Creation, The Action, The Smoke, John's Children, as well as The Kinks and The Yardbirds. Take a trip into this amphetamine-fueled British era of music and style that refused to comply with the prevailing majority, with your honorary rock DJ, Brian Keena, host of The Jazz Messenger show.

As the decade progressed, they mixed in elements of hip hop and electronica while collaborating with such producers as Steve Albini and Dan the Automator and performers like Elliott Smith and R.L. Burnside. All the while, Spencer and his Blues Explosion bandmates retained their foundation of heavy rock and roll while keeping their tongues firmly in cheek. Less
