Iggy Pop
There's a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk -- every single punk band of the past and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Pop and his late-'60s/early-'70s band, the Stooges. Born on April 21, 1947, in Muskegon, MI, James Newell Osterberg was raised by his parents in a trailer park close to Ann Arbor, in nearby Ypsilanti. Intrigued by rock & roll (as well as such non-musical, monotonous, and mechanical sounds as his father's electric razor and the local automobile assembly plants in Detroit), {$Osterbe...[more]

Iggy Pop takes on the language of romance, putting a decidedly French twist on his new album Preliminaires. Produced by longtime collaborator Hal Cragin (They Might Be Giants, Sarah Mclachlan, Rufus Wanwright), Preliminaires focuses more on jazz arrangements and Iggy's distinctive, rich baritone. He even sings in French, performing a cover of the jazz standard "Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)," which was originally made famous by French legends Yves Montand and Edith Piaf.

The timing of Iggy Pop's album Preliminaires is probably a product of coincidence and fate rather than careful planning, but it's hard to ignore the fact that just a few months after the unexpected death of Ron Asheton put the Stooges into limbo (at least for a while), Iggy has released an album that almost entirely avoids the issue of rock & roll. In a publicity piece for Preliminaires, Iggy wrote "I just got sick of listening to idiot thugs with guitars," and the man whose music he [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. If there's ever been an album that lives up to its title, this is it -- Iggy and the Stooges' apocalyptic, high-octane bombshell, Raw Power! At times, this searing, end-of-the-world death platter -- home to such proto-punk frontal assaults as 'Search and Destroy,' 'Shake Appeal,' and 'Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell' -- even threatens to surpass its beyond-appropriate moniker. Although this incarnation of The Stooges imploded not long after its release, Raw Power became the LP [ read more ]

More insanely rare live Stooges material from their final tour. This time a selection of the best from the band's five-day 1973 stint at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, plus a never-before-heard show from San Francisco in 1974. Unlike the various European releases, this album features never-released shows and drastically improved sound quality. We used the most advanced new computer techniques to bring out the sound and elminate noise. We also have two sets of liner notes, one of which includes some fabu [ read more ]
