BLAST THESE IN YOUR DORM

Here in the U.S. it's Labor Day weekend. Monday is Labor day, a holiday for, ahem, workers, of which I'm one and have been my since I first started mowing lawns at the age of ten. Hell yeah, a day off for workers, I'll take it. I deserve a day off. So, in the interest of that, I'm going to lean on The New Yorker of all sources. In the newest issue there's a long profile of Iggy Pop and it's good reading. Much of it will be familiar to most of you, but there are enough tidbits sprinkled throughout to make it interesting. For those of you not familiar with Pop, or his late sixties band the Stooges, I'm reposting a bunch of songs that I just posted back in April. Consider them essential, a counterpoint to all of the flower power stuff that was going on out west and a precursor to punk rock. I really hope that last sentence wasn't necessary.
