MUSIC AND INTERVIEWS FROM THE ODDEST OF COUPLES David s friendship was the light of my life. I never met such a brilliant person. He was the best there is . So tweeted Iggy Pop upon hearing the news of David Bowie s death in January 2016. Iggy and Bowie had been friends since 1971 when the pair met, a period of excess when we were all pretty bad but he was at least viable . Bowie would then invite him to travel along as a fly on the wall on the tour following the release of Station to Station. Then came Berlin, The Idiot and Lust For Life, and the legendary tour during which David played keyboards while the Ig performed manically centre stage. This triple disc box set explores and celebrates the unique relationship between this pair of extraordinary show men and features the full recording from the aforementioned tour when Iggy performed at Ohio s Agora Ballroom, with Bowie in tow on the keys, a further show from the same tour at Chicago s Mantra Studios, and a third disc of interviews during which they not only sing high praise about each other, but join forces in one notable session when the results are as anarchic and hilarious as one might imagine. Beautifully packaged and completed with the collector in mind, this box set will delight fans of both these maverick performers and provides a tasteful memento of one of the most enduring and genuine friendships ever developed under the guise of Rock n Roll.

Iggy Pop Muskegon au bord du lac Michigan n’est pas particulièrement réputé pour abriter des reptiles… C’est pourtant là que le 21 avril 1947 un iguane pas comme les autres voit le jour. Un iguane ou plutôt l’Iguane ! Le seul et unique Iggy Pop, né James Osterberg. Considéré comme le Parrain du punk rock, il est l’une des plus fascinantes figures de la culture pop américaine. Un animal sauvage qui secouera la planète rock à l’aube des années 70 aux commandes de ses Stooges dont les trois premiers albums – The Stooges, Fun House et Raw Power – composent une vraie sainte trinité. Un Nijinski habité et révolté qui poursuivra en solitaire (aidé par un certain David Bowie) ses contorsions électriques et deviendra une sorte d’icone

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. With his outrageous and sometimes dangerous stage antics and the relentless rock & roll that accompanied them, Iggy Pop prefigured Seventies punk (and also Nineties grunge). Acting as an eternal misfit and a saboteur of all convention, Iggy has parlayed twisted social commentary, raw-power vocal style, and survival smarts into a long career characterized by some commercial success, sizable critical notice, and huge amounts of respect all over the pop landscape.

Metallic K.O. is a live recording by American rock band The Stooges. In its original form, the album was purported to contain the last half of a performance at the Michigan Palace in Detroit, on February 9, 1974—the band's final live performance until their reformation in 2003. The performance was notable for the level of audience hostility, with the band being constantly pelted with pieces of ice, eggs, beer bottles and jelly beans, among other things, in response to Iggy Pop's audience-baiting. Subsequent investigation of the master tapes and the May 1988 release of the double album Metallic 2X K.O. reveals that the original album contained the last half of the February 9, 1974 show, but opened with the first half of an earlier show (from October 6, 1973) at the same venue. The 2X K.O. version features the full shows from both dates.

Telluric Chaos is a live album by the reunited Iggy Pop & The Stooges. The album chronicles the closing date of the band's first ever Japanese tour, which took place on March 22, 2004, at the Shibuya AX in Tokyo. The album documents a typical reunited Stooges set, primarily drawn from the band's first two albums (including all of Fun House) with no material from the James Williamson era (Raw Power, Kill City). The album/live set also includes some of the first live performances of three of the four Stooges reunion tracks from Iggy Pop's 2003 solo album Skull Ring plus one brand new song, "My Idea Of Fun" (a finalized version appears on their 2007 studio album The Weirdness).

Fun House is the second studio album by American rock band The Stooges. It was released on July 7, 1970 by Elektra Records. According to Billboard magazine, Fun House is set in hard rock and improvisation. Music critic Robert Christgau characterized the album as "genuinely 'avant-garde' rock" because of the music's apt "repetitiveness", "solitary new-thing saxophone", and "L.A. Blues", which showcases the "old avant-garde fallacy … trying to make art about chaos by reproducing same." Greg Kot called Fun House "the Stooges' punk jazz opus". In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Fun House number 191 on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album. Their bracing follow-up, Fun House portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever. Each immortal album is now remastered and twice as amazing with a second disc of rarities and previously unreleased tracks.

2007 compilation of 'mash ups' from some of the biggest (and coolest) names in Rock and Dance music. Two of the most popular would be 'Rapture Riders'(which mashed Blondie's 'Rapture' with The Doors' 'Riders On The Storm') and 'Proper Education' (DJ Eric Prydz meets Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick In The Wall'). There are others here that have been filling dancefloors recently including 'Franz Buffalo' (Malcolm McLarenn meets Franz Ferdinand), 'Passenger Fever' (Peggy Lee meets Iggy Pop), 'Flashing For Money' (Deep Dish and Dire Straits) and 'Horny As A Dandy' (Mousse T Vs. The Dandy Warhols). A brilliant collection that will surprise, shock and get you groovin'!

Iggy Pop's Post Pop Depression album, a collaboration with co-writer and producer Joshua Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age, is his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful album for many years. On May 13, 2016, Iggy Pop brought his Post Pop Depression live show to London's revered Royal Albert Hall and almost tore the roof off! With a backing band including Joshua Homme and Dean Fertita from Queens Of The Stone Age and Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys, Iggy delivered a set focused almost entirely on the new album plus his two classic David Bowie collaboration albums from 1977, The Idiot and Lust For Life. Fans and critics alike raved about the performance and this will definitely be remembered as one of Iggy Pop's finest concerts.

Blah-Blah-Blah is the seventh studio album by Iggy Pop. Originally released in October 1986, on the label A&M, it remains his most commercially successful album to date. Blah-Blah-Blah appeared after a four-year hiatus for Pop, with David Bowie serving as his prime collaborator. It would be their final collaboration. A successful tour followed the album's release.

The Stooges led by Iggy Pop defined the US garage band genre and went on to become one of the most influential bands of the late 1960s and early '70s. The band were formed by brothers Ron and Scott Asheton on guitar and drums alongside bass player Dave Alexander and with Iggy Pop on vocals. The two Asheton brothers came and went at various times from The Stooges line-up but most fans agree they were pivotal to the band's raw sound and when Ron Asheton died in 2009 at the age of 60 many believe that The Stooges died with him.
