Boss Hog Rules & Beck's Bored

Sam - Boss Hog

Winn Coma - Boss Hog

I miss Boss Hog. Jon Spencer is doing the Blues Explosion. Christina Martinez hasn't released music since Whiteout. She was the perfect indie rock front woman. Beautiful, charismatic and intensely scary. Pussy Galore and the Blues Explosion was never scary. Boss Hog came across as angry. Martinez either spit out and purred lyrics. No one knew if she was going to wear clothes onstage. Spencer's Elvis act was toned down with Boss Hog.

It's a shame this band never recorded more. The rotating members kept the band from ever being a staple unit.

The Whiteout video shows Martinez in all her glory. It's amazing how Boss Hog changed from New York noise to something sounding like trip hop.



Side note: the guitar riff to Sam is addictive.

Other music news: I was dumbfounded by this sentence in Wade Tatangelo's review of Beck'snew album Modern Guilt.


His vocals are delivered with all the passion and conviction of an office drone forced to give an impromptu speech at his evil boss’s birthday party.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that how Beck sings on every album. No one has ever mistaken the Beckster for Al Green or Van Morrison. Beck is all about detached irony. Which got boring after the Loser single.

I don't hate Beck. He is a clever artist. I can't understand why Wade is shocked by Beck's laconic vocal delivery.
