Spencer looked me over and asked if I was Jack ‘O Fire- like he was angry. “ |

DazedDigtital.com: The Japanese Popstars: Destroy (PRESS, UK) TEXT: “The video is about Jon Spencer who seems very dragged down by society, he reminds me of something similar to Michael Douglas in the movie ‘Falling Down’ and as the video moves on, he starts to see random ‘strange things’ in the world around him. It’s all very B-movie and we think it looks extremely cool. Jon is an absolute legend and from the video, plays a great character too! “ |

And by working with Jon, we were able to explore these directions further. |

NME: Albums of The Year 1998 (PRESS, UK) COMPLETE TEXT: “17, Push The Button, Money Mark (Mo’Wax). All of the hop, with out being self-conciously hip. Money mark is madcap keyboard repairman turned madcap creator of wonderously casual, deliciously unrestrained pop and vital Beastie Boys collaborator. “Push The Button” is funky, groovy and joyous, his Old Skool report reads: “Couldn’t do much better.”” |
1998.12.19 |
 |
Vox: Push The Button [Review] (PRESS, UK) TEXT: “Three albums on from those days, Money Mark has blossomed from the cheesy, breezy keyboard king of the Beasties’ hip little empire into a sputtering engine of garage rock, ’70s soul and Lord knows what else. And the results are quite marvellous.” |
1998.06.00 |
 |
Select: Push The Button Sampler (PRESS, UK) SHORT ARTICLE (TEXT): “Russell Simins plays the drums and Sean Lennon plays bass. There was no logic to the video. This man was telling me a war story. He was supposed to cross the channel and he didn’t really wanna go, so he tied the wheel up to make the boat go in a big circle. So I did the same with my car.” |

 |
Melody Maker: Phat Cash / Push The Button [Review] (PRESS, UK) TEXT: “From the catchy “Too Like You” to the mouth-watering country drawl of “Rock In The Rain”; from the deep-fried “Maybe I’m Dead” marching about to the clatter of spoons on saucepans to the gorgeous Booker-T-meets-Lennon soul of “Hand In Your Head“, this is pure pop for anytime people.” |

Select: The Mild Mannered Janitor / Hand In Your Head [Review] (PRESS, UK) TEXT: “Welcome to the cabinet-crafting, Espace-driving, roach-toking, child-rearing, desert-dwelling, Cheap Trick-loving world of the Beasties’ experimental keyboard king Mark Ramos-Nishita. A world where out mild mannered hero, previously a full-time carpenter and part-time session player, was hired to build record shelves for Adam ‘Ad Rock’ Horowit…” |
