"How comes Jon Spencer appears on the record ? You’re friends ?
I’ve known Jon for years, he’s a really great guy, and like I said, I’m also a big
fan. When we were working on Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! I started thinking about outer space
sounds and rocket sounds, and thought it would be cool to blast some theremin on
a song. There was a perfect spot for it, so I gave Jon a call and he came down to
do it. I mean, I couldn’t do it myself – it would be like I was copying his act!
So I got right to the source. He’s also an old friend of Wharton Tiers, who produced
the record with me, so it was a really natural, friendly situation." - rockettrain.com
Mike Edison also published his memoirs and released
a "sonic companion" which featured Jon Spencer
on Guitars, Synthesizers, Drums, Theremin and Tire Iron.
