Damage (Blues Explosion album)

Damage is the eighth studio album by American punk blues band Blues Explosion, released in 2004. This is the first album that the band has released under the abbreviated name "Blues Explosion" rather than their previous name, "The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion". Spencer said about the band name change:

"It's always been a band, never a solo project, The name change honors a band that allows the three of us to make music for a while. It may not be the best thing to do. Sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot. The Blues Explosion is kind of a punk rock band. We do what we want."[4]

gollark: Then I had to update the physics engine there to prevent such disasters. It was a very hacky patch but it worked.
gollark: I did hear, but I disliked it so I just used a time machine to undo that.
gollark: Ah, *there*. Based on GTech expeditions it's a good place for such artifacts, though they're still rare.
gollark: How did you get one of those anyway?
gollark: Oh bee.
