Iggy Pop: Préliminaires
photo: Xavier Martin   Iggy Pop goes jazz. Well almost. He was deeply impresed by French author Michel Houellebecq’s 2005 novel The Possibility of an Island which is about death, sex and the end of the human race. Whe he was contacted to supply songs fro a documentary about the writer he set himself to work, listening to a lot of old time New Orleans-era, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll...

Generationals: new EP
Peace Out New from New Orleans’ Generationals, released today via Park The Van Records, comes a confusingly labelled rarities EP.

The Whip - Divebomb
Rarely does the US release of an already-available foreign record seem like a true second chance, but kudos to Razor & Tie for picking up The Whip’s X Marks Destination for release on March 3rd because it’s a solid album that got overlooked in oh-eight’s deluge of post-Klaxons dance bands. The Mancunian foursome do the full-band electro-house thing and do it well, drawing...
