Iggy Pop's Post-Seventies Output

x post: uh, bizarrely, that shit was posted before I was done… 2005's Heavy Liquid is a box very much like the Rhino Funhouse sessions, comprised of probly every studio take of the songs they did 72-74 that they did live but was not on Raw power…

Great article here: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/09/02/the-survival-of-iggy-pop

I haven't heard anything since "Skull Ring", is there really greatness is Iggy's last decade or so of material?

Greatness, no, but a few good songs here and there.

I gotta say I was really disappointed in the live album from the Post Pop Depression tour, for one big reason: they were playing "Repo Man" on that tour, but didn't include it on the album.

New album in January. The new song has a very Floodland vibe. I don't hate it.

Listening to Zombie Birdhouse for the first time ever. What an absolutely bonkers record.

Damn you weren't kidding about the Sisters vibe.

I was going to say I kinda hear Red Lorry Yellow Lorry but yeah

[Listening to Zombie Birdhouse for the first time ever

i just heard it for the first time a couple of years back and it blew me away. i'm not sure why it isn't way more praised.

on a different tangent, i posted this a while back on another iggy thread but i still can't get over how good this live version of neu!'s hero, fearuring michael rother is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTB0lpDFbkY

New one out today.... Thoughts?

Ah, that’s why he has a recent NY Times interview

Haven’t heard new one yet

Oh, he’s got a new one out, has he?

The song I posted above is the only one I really like. It's kind of Brick By Brick-ish in its (to my ear) craven present-day alt-rock melodicism, and the lyrics are some of the worst of his career, down there with American Caesar and The Weirdness. I'll probably never listen to it again.

Sounds bad.
