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."
The album featured vocals from Martina Topley-Bird and Chuck D. Steve Jordan, Jay Braun, Dan the Automator, David Holmes and DJ Shadow were the producers of the album.
The UK vinyl and CD/DVD as well as the US enhanced CD releases of Damage were in a matchbook-style design. The Enhanced section contains a 22 minute film directed by Niko Tavernese (Exclusive studio footage of the band with various producers recording Damage).

Famous quotes containing the words damage and/or explosion:
“If every man possessed everything he wanted, and no one had the power to interfere with such possession; or if no man desired that which could damage his fellow-man, justice would have no part to play in the universe.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Frau Stöhr ... began to talk about how fascinating it was to cough.... Sneezing was much the same thing. You kept on wanting to sneeze until you simply couldn’t stand it any longer; you looked as if you were tipsy; you drew a couple of breaths, then out it came, and you forgot everything else in the bliss of the sensation. Sometimes the explosion repeated itself two or three times. That was the sort of pleasure life gave you free of charge.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
