There's a great live clip of "Five Foot One" (off the horribly produced but still fuckin awesome New Values) where Iggy clocks himself in the mouth with his mic and then does the interview afterwards smiling and bleeding. My #1 Iggy moment.

The Idiot and Lust For Life are essential albums and I recommend you listen to both in full. New Values has its moments - 'I'm Bored' in particular is a classic.
I won't be voting for anything beyond 1979.

and 'L.A. Blues' for the win.
― pen pineapple apple pen (Turrican), Thursday, 29 September 2016 02:32 (seven years ago) link
Spinning New Values for the first time in memory. Still mostly fuckin awesome, but ... I wonder if Iggy, when the subject of "African Man" comes up, just grins sheepishly & says "cocaine's a hell of a drug."

Hey, I'll be away for most of the next week but keep the ballots coming in. We're only at 7 ballots so far, keep them coming!

Repo Man is so good. Also very fond of "Dog Food" and "Endless Sea" (both on regular albums) for their use on the soundtrack of Dogs In Space.
I'd forgotten that I had a very, very brief fling with the actress in this video (I didn't forget the fling, I forgot the video). I won't be voting for the song. I hope she got to actually meet Iggy, as it's hard to tell from the video.

that vid reminds me of seeing a song Iggy was working on when we were hanging out with him (ca. ~ 1984, when Bowie's "china girl" was in the charts). he was working on a tune that had working title "stars and stripes". i've always wondered if that ever turned into anything concrete.

Hell no. One of the best songs on New Values. I voted for it.

Very slightly OT, but I've always been impressed by the way Momus stole the idea of the ending of "Here Comes Success" for this song. Good example of productive stealing.

Downloaded the non-remastered version of Kill City and now I understand why it got such bad reviews back then, Iggy's voice is buried and the whole thing sounds like crap.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 9 October 2016 02:03 (seven years ago) link
I've never listened to it cuz thats what i always heard about it. Praise here is befuddling.
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 9 October 2016 02:04 (seven years ago) link
it's a good album!
― new noise, Sunday, 9 October 2016 02:44 (seven years ago) link
the remaster is a top 3 iggy album, the original is a bottom 3.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 9 October 2016 04:01 (seven years ago) link
Respectfully disagree. Original is a sludgy lo fi Stones Album (I think the sludgy lo-fi Stones Album "Exile" is considered one of their best). The remaster just sounds fake, vocals too forward, some bad edits, etc. I suppose it probably comes down to taste and what you heard first.
― dlp9001, Sunday, 9 October 2016 17:14 (seven years ago) link
Also, looking at songs left off of the "official" version, Gimme Some Skin, Tight Pants, Sick of You all add a lot to the sequence, and the replacements don't really thrill me.

Only 17 ballots it seems... hope we get interesting results. I'll start counting them tomorrow so if any of you still want to send a ballot you can do it until I post in here that voting is closed.

kinda amazed not more interest or ballots in this - compared to other polls woulda thought this would be more popular - maybe too many people are sucked into trumpland to care
