Any Iggy Pop interview is guaranteed to please, I say, but Detroit’s Metro Times posted an excellent Q&A recently with Pop and newly-reunited Stooge James Williamson that just blows your standard Fred Durst dis post out of the water. In the lengthy...

James Williamson, for those of you who aren't up on your proto-punk history, put his three-chord punk guitar jams all over The Stooges' final record, Raw Power. In fact, he wrote a lot of the songs on that record. But after Williamson and Iggy Pop had a falling out in 1980, they hadn't talked in 20 years, and Williamson gave up guitar and became a dentist. That is, until Iggy called him up earl...

You've got to give Iggy Pop points for effort. The former Stooge takes a big detour on his new album Preliminaires. Based on the writings of French author Michel Houellebecq, the album takes the now 62-year old punk godfather into new sonic territory.Most of the songs on the album are jazzy numbers, complete with horns. It's definitely new ground for Pop, however it just does not work out.

Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed is the latest in a line of biographies about the life and career of the musician often referred to as the Godfather of Punk.

Because Ivlander asked for this, here it is.Say what you will, but Iggy Pop is a crooner. He's cut from the same cloth as his predeescessors - Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Jim Morrison (who he has cited as one of his biggest influences). As much as he is known for rolling in broken glass or smearing himself with peanut butter, his real power is comanding the mike, and getting you to listen. ...

The biopic, entitled 'The Passenger', concentrates on Pop's early career with The Stooges, and is set to begin filming within six months. According to Variety, Pop has "given his blessing" to the project but will not take part in any of the filming. Maybe its just me, but I dont know how good of a pairing th...

Yesterday I posted "Toe Jam", the latest single from Fatboy Slim's Brighton Port Authority. Today I found the band's myspace page, which offers a few more details. It turns out there's a full album in the works, including more stellar collaborations like Iggy Pop, Martha Wainwright and Ashley Beedle. Some of these songs have been circulating for awhile now, but this will be the first time ...

...Care for a little pop art with your Iggy Pop?...Back when I lived in New York, the installation artist "*Spencer Tunick*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Tunick took one of his infamous mass nude photos in Times Square (I worked a couple of blocks over in a building on Madison)...this was a decade and change before I'd ever hear of Britain's Banksy but I think the two are going in simil...

The 60 year old rocker has recently been critisized for writing songs about his special place on his bands latest album "The Weirdness". However, Iggy Pop thinks giving his penis attention is appropriate because he wants to sing about things that matter. "You write about things that are important to you, and it's gotta be for real. Do I think about my dick? All the time. I got a right to sing a...
