Punk rock royalty Jon Spencer and Cristina Martinez have joined forces with Dutch electronic heroine Elisabeth Esselink, aka Solex, for the most exciting collaboration/confrontation since The Jetsons meet The Flinstones.

Está muito engraçado o video...Nc gostei muito da solex (que sempre julguei americana) nem do lado mais polido do spencer, mas a ver vamos...
