I've watched maybe five episode of Fox's American Idol in my life, but I surely would have watched if Iggy Pop was a judge . That just seems insane to me.
El padrino del punk tiene dos grandes proyectos en puerta. Grabará un nuevo disco de covers continuando el camino de Préliminaires (2009) y una más que grata sorpresa: se reunirá con sus compañeros de The Stooges para un nuevo LP. La iguana tiene todo listo para volver al estudio y lanzar nuevo material hacia el mes de diciembre. Por un lado, volvió a reunirse con el productor Hal Cragin y estará preparando un disco de baladas en francés [...]
Now that he's gotten that surreal American Idol performance out of the way, Iggy Pop's schedule is wide open for a pair of future studio releases that couldn't be much more stylistically different: the first being a follow-up to 2009's soft, jazz-inspired LP, Préliminaires , followed by a new Stooges record — the band's first studio effort since the passing of guitarist Ron Asheton and reunion with Raw Power axeman James Williamson. As the Guardian reports , the former album will showcase Pop's Serge [...]
"Iggy Pop… is the captain of these inside-outside actions. Try to take your eyes off him. How he re-enacts fear, rage, sex, abject boredom, universal love and lethal cynicism, while dancing with originality, remembering lyrics and maintaining the delicate middle-state between having pants on and not having pants on, is why he is he, and you are merely you" Ben Ratliff Happy 64th birthday Iggy
Had a fight with the missus. I claim that Lady Gaga is a derivative, unoriginal hack without a shred of credibility or musical worth. And that she exists only due to the short memory spans of the populace and an innate ability to rip off Madonna. And how, despite her new "hey being gay and different is cool" song is a nice sentiment, the very fact that she is allowed to pollute the status quo with her face, voice and assorted "fashionista" trends makes the "hoi polloi" that much lamer. The wife disagrees. Enough of the [...]
Today Iggy Pop turns 64, and the current and former James Newell Osterberg, Jr. is still making people a fraction of his age look and sound like croaking senior citizens. Blessed with a toleran... Continue reading "Happy Birthday Iggy Pop: His Top 10 Solo Cuts" >
From Wikipedia : "Iggy Pop (born James Newell "Jim" Osterberg, Jr.; April 21, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and occasional actor. He is considered an influential innovator of punk rock, hard rock, and other styles of rock music. Pop began calling himself "Iggy" after his first band in high school (for which he was drummer), The Iguanas. He was lead singer/songwriter of influential protopunk band The Stooges and became known for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics." "When I'm 64...."

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life I don't think there has been a 64 year old man as ripped as Iggy Pop since Jack LaLanne. Happy birthday, good sir! Also, I'm pretty sure that band Jet owe their career to this song.
Punk rock grandfather Iggy Pop turns 64 today and to celebrate we post a collection of covers of his tunes.
Punk and hard rock meet in this overlooked classic from unsung Detroit heroes.
Iggy Pop ( you might know him from American Idol ) the collectible action figure is coming to a toy store near you , couresy of NECA. Continue reading "Iggy Pop action figure " at BrooklynVegan.com
For the past two decades, apart from the Stooges reunion, Iggy Pop has seemed hell-bent on destroying any kind of punk cred he used to have. Which is understandable, I guess, since you can't pay checks with Joy Division shout outs. But here he is, performing with some modern-rock dudes doing "Real Wild Child" and having an awkward-as-fuck interaction with the judges. I wonder if Steven Tyler felt weird knowing that Iggy is the only person this season who is a more important frontman than him. Or if he felt weird knowing he looks just like a mom with a [...]
Did you see this last night? We did - is this a sign of the Apocalypse?
For some reason Iggy Pop decided to stop by last night's American Idol . The legendary singer performed "Real Wild Child (Wild One)", from his 1986 album Blah-Blah-Blah , for the
Iggy's wardrobe is the least surprising thing about his appearance on FOX's tailspun talent show last night (as always he prefers to just " stay like I am "). There are pros who recap and assess American Idols ' every move, and they do a good job at it and it is not our occupation and so it is difficult to say how often they pull an aging rocker out of the closet to help stunt some ratings and whoops that's right Steven Tyler. (Who reportedly is classing it up .) But here it is, Iggy performing "Real [...]
Now, I don't watch American Idol, but maybe I should start if the show is going to bring on special guests like punk legend Iggy Pop.
