How freaking awesome are Iggy and the Stooges?
That's a rhetorical question, so don't be a smartarse and answer it. Got my hands on the newly reissued/remastered Stooges albums (The Stooges; Funhouse) yesterday, and man, they rock. From the liner notes for Funhouse... The record's passion, attitude, power, emotion and destruction are incalculable. A milestone so overlooked it's despicable. We live in an age where people like James Taylor are inducted into the Rock'N'Roll Hall of Fame before the Stooges." Jack White, the White Stripes.
FMR plugs into the matrix
from the official press release from Warners on their acquisition of FMR....
"In hiring Michael Parisi and acquiring FMR, Warner Music Australasia plugs into a global A&R matrix that is committed to developing global careers," says Paul-Rene Albertini, Chairman and CEO, Warner Music International.
(tip of the hat to Richard B for this)
Just got the latest email from ESL, Thievery Corporation's label, and noticed this...
"You can also see the video for The Time We Lost Our Way directed by our favorite Kiwi Jolyon Hoff on thieverycorporation.com, eslmusic.com and on iTunes."

Anyone looking for an inside view on the current 're-ignited Stooges fury' should check out Mike Watt's homepage http://www.hootpage.com
There is a lot of reading here, mr watt is nothing if not a prolific spieler, and a bass guitar master who will be appearing with the Asheton bros and the Ig at the BDO.
The summer 2005 stooges tour diaries seem to have dropped off the homepage but can be found starting here...
