RNZ Reviews: September 2019
Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so now four years into it or so… […]Archive

Iggy Pop: Free
Iggy Pop Free Loma Vista Iggy Pop’s catalogue is a strange mess – a couple of very fine albums, plenty of rewards to dig and gather across the records that followed and some filler-fodder too. There hasn’t been the late-great comeback that many other heritage acts have offered. But there hasn’t needed to be. The […]Archive

Underworld & Iggy Pop: Teatime Dub Encounters
Underworld & Iggy Pop Teatime Dub Encounters Caroline At first you might think of The Orb and David Gilmour collaborating, and wonder if this is just another one of those odd-but-okay scenarios – it doesn’t take too long to put it together though, the original Trainspotting soundtrack was a classic, plenty of great music – […]Archive

Gimme Danger: DVD
Gimme Danger: The Story of The Stooges Director: Jim Jarmusch Dogwoof I wonder if people worry about whether they’re letting the side down by not liking a key book or doco relating to an artist they love. I figure fans want to lap up anything related to the fan-experience. But boring-is-boring. I loathed the Keith […]Archive

Iggy Pop: Post Pop Depression
Iggy Pop Post Pop Depression Loma Vista Much was made of this “dream pairing” of leather-torso and that tall streak of desert rock – but frankly they’re bored and/or boring for the most part across Post Pop Depression. An album that is the C- to Blackstar’s A+. Somewhere along the way, Iggy – far more […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 906
Iggy Pop, Blah Blah Blah (1986) I think this is about the only Iggy Pop album I never owned – until now, obviously. I was into this Iggy though, the Iggy of the 80s. That’s how I first knew him. The Brick By Brick album and then back from there. The singles from the 1980s…and […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1058
V/A, Slaves of New York [OST] (1989) I bought this in a closing-down sale – 10c. I have never seen the film – but the trailer both makes me want to see it and puts me off. I have no idea why I bought this – could be any number of reasons (beyond the 10 […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1078
V/A, Repo Man [OST] (1984) The film was a revelation – but what really spoke to me the first time I saw this flick was the movie’s soundtrack. It was the real introduction to a lot of the names of bands my cousin had told me about. And to some other names I’d only read […]Archive

D. Charles Speer & The Helix: Doubled Exposure
D. Charles Speer & The Helix Doubled Exposure Thrill Jockey We kick off with Wallwaker – it’s a bit of backwoods Iggy Pop boogie; imagine that character Ig plays in Dead Man just up and nailing the perfect Pop croon over a bit of Southern Culture on the Skids, say. Or even sitting in with […]Archive
