The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion just made the best-ever New York City music video



The new record from the Blues Explosion, titled "Freedom Tower - No Wave Dance Party 2015," drops March 24 on Mom+Pop Music.

Ahead of that, the band unveils a trailer for the single, "Do The Get Down."

Our friend Alex at Flaming Pablum thinks that it "just might be the most NYC video of all time" ... noting it's "a visual love letter to New York City's colorful cultural past."

Indeed, check it out... and tally up the pop-cultural references (Alex did here)...



And Allen Cordell was the editor who put all this together...

I like it, but is it really possible that they secured the rights to all the photos and video they used? That would be quite the feat. And call me a pessimist, but if some of this has been used illegally, I can't imagine we'll be seeing it for that much longer...

Good riddance to that time, I say. High crime, high unemployment, the 70s were bad everywhere, not just NYC.
