Artist: Iggy Pop

Interviewing rock & roll stars is not easy. They are a wild, usually egotistical bunch who often live outside the boundaries of acceptable human behavior as dictated by societal norms and generally accepted "common sense." For example, it may seem like common sense that once should not be nodding off on heroin, unable to speak, and wearing a shirt with a swastika on it during an on-camera interview. But for Sid Vicious, this seemed like an okay thing to do, and so he did it. Here's that, and nine other rock & roll interviews gone terribly wrong. [...]

Since 2007 Record Store Day has given us an extra reason to spend dough at our local music shops.

One of rock's most carnal performers, Iggy Pop , has been named Ambassador for this year's Record ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ iggy-pop-named-ambassador-for- 2012-record-store-da/60843/

Record Store Day , the annual event in support of independent record stores the world over, is proud to announce the appointment of Iggy Pop to the post of Record Store Day 2012 Ambassador! Of course, there is a lot to say about the upcoming event, set this year for Saturday, April 21st, but who better to extoll the virtues of our "holiday" than the Ambassador. "A person should have a personality. You won't get one dicking around on a computer. ...

Iggy Pop, Mike Watt and Ron Asheton of the Stooges A little Austin-tacious memory for you: Iggy Pop and the re-formed Stooges playing an in-store at Waterloo Records during SXSW 2007. The four-song set was as rambunctious as the preshow process - limited by fire marshals to a maximum of 250 people, Waterloo employees had to juggle a line of about 1,000 people before letting just some of those inside. We got in, luckily, but hundreds more stood in the parking lot and peered through the record store's [...]

Each week, we take a look at some obscure or overlooked entries in the catalogs of music's big names. MAGNET's Bryan Bierman focuses on an album that, for whatever reason, slipped through the cracks in favor of its more popular siblings. Whether it's new to you or just needs a revisit, we'll highlight the Hidden [...]

By Gabriella Arrigoni Collection: TV Party Watch more on Network Awesome Not always, actually quite seldom, is the distinction between art and absurdity a relevant one. And it certainly doesn't matter when in a TV show you combine live music, in-studio party, fancy dress, videotapes, punk, disco, anarchism, new wave, visual arts, rap, interviews, phone-in sessions, shaky camera angles, crude advertising and live drug taking. All this [...]

I appreciated Todd's recent post: Happy Memories of 2011 . He was spot on about Deerhoof. Though I hadn't seen them in years, I caught their show at SFMOMA and it was crazy good. And like Todd, I'm sick of the top ten. Fuck the top ten. This year pissed me off more than most and that deserves some recognition. My aunt is dying. We assumed she would live to a 100 like her father, but NO - some untreatable cancer has to come along and fuck that up. [...]

However, it is a lesser-known fact that he began his career directing music videos [...]

It is easy to forget that the Star Trek franchise has been cranking out films and shows for a LONG time. Due to the large, ensemble cast and multiple plot lines, this means that at one time or another an absurd number of actors have appeared in minor roles. Here are some celebrities who have appeared in Star Trek , that you may not be aware of.

Filed under: The Hit List Getty Images Rock stars have needs, too. But when you're used to getting pretty much everything you want, your needs might get a bit weird. Below, you can find some of the funniest, most bizarre concert-rider demands, ranging from condoms and bacon to toy robots and something referred to as "fish ice."

Le Butcherettes played The Warfield on Tuesday night, opening for Iggy and The Stooges.

Ep. 506 - Iggy and The Stooges @ The Palladium - Hollywood, Ca - 12/02/11 I had only seen Iggy and The Stooges one time before this show, so I was pretty excited to finally have the chance to get to see them again. Unfortunately I didn't have a ticket, no money, and was running extremely late to the Palladium. Poppinoff's Iggy and the Stooges adventure I arrived at the Palladium about 10 minutes before Iggy and The [...]

One second. Sometimes that's all a photographer gets - and hardly in ideal conditions. At worst (and most likely), a photographer may be squeezed between 15 others in the pit, mere feet away from pyrotechnics, finding support from stress-rattled knees, while focusing on a spastic frontman and sheltering oneself from a downpour, which may or may not involve a hailstorm. Truth: A great photographer handles the unenviable task of capturing that one moment everyone goes home thinking about. Half-truth: There's probably a statistic somewhere that discusses what the job does to the heart. If not, there should be a study. Double-truth: [...]

Photo by Debi Del Grande Not even a broken foot could get in the way of Iggy Pop and his Stooges ' utter destruction of the Hollywood Palladium. Granted, it took a couple months of rescheduling but the legend had no trouble making up for lost time, ripping through a career-spanning 17-song set to a capacity-crowd at one of Hollywood's biggest venues. Support came in the form of Whitey Kirst and Le Butcherettes . The latter's spiked garage-punk was especially well-received by a crowd who were all too eager to headbang and thrash about [...]

A whole slew of famous bilingual musicians (and an actor) have recorded tracks for a new Serge Gainsbourg tribute album.

Tribes - Himalaya We've been hammering Tribes' fine and forthcoming debut 'Baby' in the office of late, and the part where everyone sort of goes a bit quiet and starts swaying in their chairs and humming along in a toneless and broken fashion is usually this track. It's a keystone of their live show as well, and it's easy to see why. A mountain-moving cry from the heart and the depths of the Valley Of Well And Truly Dumped, it finds Johnny Lloyd lost in the high passes of heartbreak before being [...]
