Sad Heart Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I forgot to tell you guys the other day. I was so amped. My buddy got me a gift card for one of our local shops here and I got the new Weezer and Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power for $2. (2012 Raw Power with the Bowie and Iggy mixes, mild warp, so it was marked at $10!) I've been putting off getting Raw Power forever because years ago I used to always see it for around $10 and I could never find it for that little once I was ready to buy it. I like the Bowie mixes. They are super interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I like the Bowie mixes. They are super interesting.I don't think I've ever heard the Iggy mixes. I'm interested to see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I don't think I've ever heard the Iggy mixes. I'm interested to see the difference. The differences between the two are pretty easy to spot. Iggy's mixes are definitely fuzzier, rougher, and in your face. They are Iggy's babies, and you can tell. Definitely have that gritty punk feeling, and it's fantastic. I prefer it to the Bowie mixes cause it's the version I grew up on, and I like my punk rough like Iggy. The funny thing is that Bowie mixed his versions in a few days, after Iggy's mixes were rejected (back in 1972). When he [iggy] redid his mixes in 1997s, that's where they shine. Bowie's mixes are a little 'friendlier' so they got radio play. I think Iggy's version represents the Stooges better though. Bowie's mixes add some subtlety, like some echoing here and there, and I like it overall, but Iggy's version is my go-to. * - the CD version of Iggy's mixes were done horribly on CD (his mixes are great, but they fucked them up when sticing them on a CD). LP is the way to go. So, for CD I go Bowie, and LP I go Iggy. This pressing has both: https://www.discogs.com/Iggy-And-The-Stooges-Raw-Power/release/2400271 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I had like an hour worth of shit to do around the apartment today So obviously it's an hour until my girlfriend gets home and I'm drunk/high and just now about to start. I was aware of every choice I made that led me here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I put on Caspian's new release while I was closing my store. I finished it out with Sycamore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 That isn't fuzz, that's clipping because the guitar is too loud. Iggy's version of Raw Power is the loudest album ever released. There is fuzz on it, but yes to the clipping. That's what I meant by 'in your face'. It's pretty much one of the most punk albums ever.

Sad Heart Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I can't disagree with you there, although personally I can't stand either mix. Do tell. Is it that album in particular or is not a fan of Iggy in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I put on Caspian's new release while I was closing my store. I finished it out with Sycamore. The girl at my work that always plays country, Numetal, buttrock, and Nickleback just put in her notice. I'm pretty stoked. I will miss the 2-3 week cycle of her being excited about some dude, me being like "Uhhhh...he sounds really shitty", and then her being devestated when the relationship ends. I guess that's a fun thing about working with 20 year olds. I can just be like "Uh, that thing you're talking about doesn't seem like a good sustainable idea" and they think I'm a sorceror when I'm right.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Not really a fan of Iggy in general. I know punk isn't meant to be polished, but the Stooges' stuff just sounds like shit. I tried listening to Post Pop Depression too, but that's totally not my style. Ah. See, I'm not crazy about a lot of punk stuff, but I do like the Stooges' stuff!

Did that until I was 17, then I finally started having some fun. Once you stop giving a shit about what people think/whatever life can be awesome.
