THE STOOGES - My Girl Hates My Heroin (Vinyl Album Rip)




Not much to say about The Stooges that hasn’t been said, so I’ll get straight to the point. Here’s a rather crackling, but still cracking rip of an album released by Revenge Records in 1989 of some Raw Power era Stooges rehersal recordings from 1973 in Detroit. Enjoy! Or Destroy!

IGGY POP - Live Zombie!


No music for ages, then just like waiting for a bus two come along at once ….Yep here’s some more Iggy Pop for you good people. This ones from 1982, not Iggy’s best year, some might say it was cursed. On a trip to Haiti early in the year Iggy upset a voodoo priest when he got up and danced during a voodoo ceremony. Things went down hill from there with a series of bizarre events like a car crash and the death of a dentist for whom Iggys girlfriend was working for on the island, in order to raise the cash to fly home, as Iggy had given all their money away! At the end of the year after a brief stay in a Mental Institution Iggy hit the road to promote the not very well received album Zombie Birdhouse, which features the playing and production of Clem Burke and Chris Stein of Blondie. This live recording from Toronto in Canada on 28th Oct 1982 was originally issued as a bonus disc with a re-issue edition of Zombie Birdhouse, and finds Iggy in fine frazzled‘n’fraggled form, during the tour his band members including Blondie Guitarist Frank Infante found Iggy “more crazed than ever.” Enjoy! You'd be crazy not to!!

IGGY POP - Garden of Evil (Vinyl Bootleg)


This collection from Iggy Pop was originally released as a bootleg album in Germany with only 600 copies pressed. I aint got a copy, but found that some kind soul had uploaded it to a torrent site, so here you go! The tracks on it are what you’d call Oddities; Iggy squealing like a pig for a few seconds, and a bizarre appearance on a 1974 American radio show. Outtakes; from his post Bowie daze albums New Values, Soldier and Zombie Birdhouse, and Rarities; the title track to the film Repo Man, well I’ll leave you to decide that. Personally, I’ve been playing this quite a bit recently as it’s an interesting and enjoyable listen, even the track Ig The Pig surpasses his recent Swift Cover insurance ad work. Why Iggy Why???? You indeed are a dog with your money in your pocket!

"EVERYONE TALK ABOUT POP MUSIC"


Here’s some Pukka Pop. Forget the insurance ad and his latest album, this is were it was at with Iggy, in the year of 1977. Here we find him live and loud in Paris and at The Rainbow Theatre in London. This is some good shit! Enjoy!!

IGGY POP - Live @ The Ritz, NYC, 20/7/88



It’s been a while since there’s been any music, and it’s been a long while since I posted any Iggy Pop, so killing the proverbial bird with one stone sorta thang here’s a live recording of the mighty popster in New York City at The Ritz on the 1988 Instinct Tour. It’s not the full gig, just seven songs, dunno what happened to the rest, perhaps who ever recorded it was under the same influence that guitarist Andy McCoy was under. Who’d gone awol from the venue, turning up five minutes before show time, having been smoking some angel dust with a female admirer, not that you’d notice it too much by his playing. There’s a nice account of this event in the book Neighbourhood Threat, Iggy’s bass player at the time and former UK Sub Alvin Gibbs' on the road account of touring with Iggy Pop. That’s were you need to go if you wanna read about it. If you wanna hear all about it, click here! In August of the same year he played the Reading Festival and tore the field apart. I've got a full recording of that, which I'll post at some point in the future.

A THURSDAY THREESOME.

THE STOOGES - Extended Play EP. Prime time Stooges material; rough, raw and ready. Hard To Beat(Live in London)/Head On(Recorded in Detroit)/I Got A Right(Incendery Version// Get it here:

http://s19.quicksharing.com/v/6841077/THE_STOOGES_Extended_Play_EP.rar.html


STIV BATORS & JIMMY PURSEY, two great frontmen in unlikely pairing; jamming somewhere, sometime in Los Angeles. Helped out by Kim Fowey and The Runaways these 3 tracks: LA,LA/Blues/Factory Boys// are slightly ruff sounding but an interesting curiosity. Not a patch on Sham, Dead Boys or Lords of New Church. Have a listen, it's just a click away:
THE DARK, from Isllington, London, blink and you missed them released 5 singles and 2 albums between 1980-82. Their sound matured from a pop punk, to a Damned style goth in that time, but sadly they split. Seen little of their stuff on the web, so thought I'd sort that out. These 6 tracks are all their singles plus one b-side, recommended listening, punk but with a difference. The Masque is a classic and available with just one click: http://s19.quicksharing.com/v/1338342/THE_DARK.rar.html

IGGY POP - 'Heroin Hates You' (Live @ Stardust Ballroom, LA 1979)


There's no harder worker in the 'entertainment industry' than IGGY POP. He has been knocking 'em dead with his raw power in cities across the world for 40 years now. The story of Iggy is a blog in itself, so I aint gonna bother recalling it, read his biography Open Up and Bleed by Paul Trynka for more. What I will say is; no Iggy, no nothing, from Metal to Punk and Goth to Pop, Iggy has influenced them all. The good, the bad and the ugly. From fixing heroin to filming in Hollywood, Iggy has done it all. Hero, villain from genius to flawed artist. Over the years he has released critically acclaimed and severely slated albums. It is live where Iggy is truly in his element; wild and wired, primal and feral feeding off the audience then spewing it back at them. My favourite Iggy recordings are his live ones were the shows are peppered by his past and flavoured with the best of the rest of his present. This recording is from 1979 when he was promoting his New Values album. He had his 'punk backing' band with him ; Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and Brian James (The Damned), both found touring with Iggy the most intense thing they had experienced. Any way experience it for yerself, it's just a click away: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7ptak3
