Iggy Pop Latest News

Dirty Hands – Love, Carelessness and Primal Growling
I used to complain about faux-nostalgia, but in the wake of Brother’s bone-headed elevation to the status of National Importance, I’ll now take good songs wherever I can find them, while I still can, regardless of how much they borrow from the past. Realistically, I was being criminally unfair – it’s excruciatingly rare that a band genuinely makes a song without...

  Iggy Pop goes Gainsbourg via Michel Houellebecq on his newest album, due out at the end of April. Woah. (via Paper Mag) <3, c. hotpoint
EXTINCTION: RIP Ron Asheton
All of Pinter’s christmases came at once, possibly, in 2008. He couldn’t have left us on a more fitting day. Early January 2009 seems far less fitting for a founding member of The Stooges, but alas, so it has come to be for Number 29 on Rolling Stone’s ‘100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.’  Ron Asheton, founder member, bassist and guitarist with The...
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...
The 9's Have It: Historical Reasoning Why 2009 Will Be A Great Year for Music
Inspired By Tim Duffy 2008 was a shit year for music. With the economy falling down around us, the music industry continued to crumble under the pressure of the internet…falling down, down, down and barely even pulling in a cent (or so they would like you to believe). Bands inspired by the few cash cows we have left aped and copied their way through records. Folks were led to believe...

Iggy Pop MP3s

Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Weekly Mix #54
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a cover versions mix (and I’ve felt a little harried this week with both the volunteering and freelance work), so here’s my rather lazy attempt. I would like to mention the War Child Heroes album since it’s being touted as "The Ultimate Covers Album." As per usual, War Child is releasing an album with proceeds going to...

Iggy Pop Reviews

Monday's Leaky Faucet
Who: Sunset Rubdown Title: Dragonslayer Release Date: June 23rd Label: Jagjaguwar Thoughts: For all my bitching and complaining about the Wolf Parade side projects and their inability to match the heights reached on Apologies to the Queen Mary, I actually really enjoy Spencer Krug as a musician and most of what he does with Sunset Rubdown. Their latest album, Dragonslayer, is a return to form...
Singles for the week beginning 1st October
Band name: Pete and The Pirates, Tiny Masters Of Today, CSS and more Label: various ubercool labels Teaser: The last journalist who expressed bemusement at the Tiny Masters Of Today received a hurricane of complaints from artrocker.com readers. It is therefore with a strange combination of bravery and insanity, that Rory Carroll submits his review of their latest single...
My Bloody Underground
Band name: BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE Label: Cargo Records Teaser: Ric Rawlins gets a sneak peak at the 13th album from Brian Jonestown Massacre, the psychedelic rock perverts of San Francisco. And with song titles like ‘Who Fucking Pissed In My Well’, I think we can assume they’re in a confrontational mood… Pull quote 2: The piano led ‘We Are The...
