atarirec Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 http://www.fatpossum.com/products/ready-to-die "a real fucking group... they also make fucking records. They don't justgo and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of fucking money"--IggyPopBetter 40 years later than never: The follow-up to the first record everto bear the Iggy and the Stooges logo--the immortal proto-punkmasterpiece Raw Power--will finally be out April 30, when Fat PossumRecords releases the all-new Iggy and the Stooges studio album, Ready ToDie.Ready To Die finds Iggy Pop, guitarist James Williamson and drummerScott "Rock Action" Asheton reunited for a full album of all-newmaterial for the first time since the legendary Raw Power sessions, withMike Watt filling in for the late Ron Asheton on bass. The results arethe closest thing to a time capsule to 1973--or at least to Iggy'ssubsequent efforts with Williamson, including 1977's Kill City and1979's New Values--that rock 'n' roll is likely to proffer in thismillennium. The new album's opening one-two of "Burn" and "Sex &Money" pair sublimely blunt and self-explanatory subject matter withback alley razor-blade guitars and a troglodytic rhythmic stomp asintensely single-minded as Iggy's lyrical statements of intent.Elsewhere on the album, anthems abound in the form of the most dead-onrallying cry for the lower-working-class dispossessed to date--thesuccinctly and aptly titled "Job"--as well as a title track that mixes asignature Iggy Pop mission statement of angry desperation with guitarpyrotechnics that recall those halcyon opening salvos of "Search &Destroy."Just as Iggy exhumed the original Stooges name when he reunitedin 2003 with the Asheton brothers, the revival of the Iggy and theStooges moniker that first appeared on the cover of Raw Power heraldedthe return of guitarist James Williamson to the fold in 2009, or as Iggyput it then "although 'the Stooges' died with Ron Asheton, there isstill 'Iggy and the Stooges'." As far as the decision to record andrelease a new Iggy and the Stooges album for the first time since 1973,Iggy recently commented: "My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is nolonger personal. It's just a pig-headed fucking thing I have that areal fucking group when they're an older group they also make fuckingrecords. They don't just go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunchof fucking money..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I would like to brag about the size of the boner this gave me, but I've seen the size of a lot of boners on the Internet and I just can't compete with them. This news gave me a raging moderately-sized erection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 i don't have high hopes for this, but i guess i could be surprised.

mirrorboxer Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That clip sounds as uninspiring as the weirdness. At least I still have Fun House and Raw Power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetwaves Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Arrrgh. I don't know why Iggy can't make a decent record. He needs Bowie back in his life and maybe Bowie needs Iggy. Make a run at it and see if they can do it sober this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That clip sounds as uninspiring as the weirdness. At least I still have Fun House and Raw Power This. Also if that clip is supposed to get you excited than the rest of the album has to be really bad. Plus Iggy singing I got a job but it dont pay shit. Where has he worked in the last 30 years?
