ATP NY 2010 To Resemble The Best Jim Jarmusch Soundtrack You’ve Never Heard


atp2010

We were delighted to hear about Pavement curating the upcoming All Tomorrow’s Parties in Minehill, England in May. Now we are even more delighted to hear who is going to do the honors at the closer All Tomorrow’s Parties at Kutshers Country Club in Monticello, NY this coming September. Jim Jarmusch! The documentarian-now-turned-curator has handpicked the following acts for Sunday September 5th: The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Raekwon, Girls, F*cked Up, Wooden Shjips, The Black Angels and Vivian Girls. These bands will be added to the already-sweet bill including Iggy & The Stooges performing Raw Power, Sleep, Mudhoney, The Scientists, Sonic Youth, Explosions In The Sky, The Breeders, F*ck Buttons, Papa M, Apse and The Books. Check the nitty gritty information over at the ATP website. We are assuming Sunday will feel a lot like living in your favorite Jim Jarmusch film – kind of like watching Coffee & Cigarettes with less talking.

Iggy’s Raw Power To Become More Powerful Than Ever


iggy-popStooges bootleggers: you might want to sit down for this (luckily you probably already are). The month of April will likely be a very devastating month for you, but a pretty great one for the rest of the music-loving world. On April 13, Columbia/Legacy will reStooge us for the first time with Raw Power: Legacy Edition. Then they’ll re-up on their Iggy with Deluxe Edition on April 27.

The albums will be available solely through The Stooges’ website. The former includes David Bowie’s original mix of the album as well as a full disc of a 1973 live set from Atlanta that has been uber-bootlegged and distributed up to this point. If this wasn’t enough there’s also two previously unreleased tracks and a 24-page booklet with essays on the band and an introduction by the surviving members. The deluxe edition includes all this plus a third disc with five more previously unreleased tracks and a 30-minute documentary DVD entitled The Making Of Raw Power. This doesn’t even begin to mention the reproduction of a rare picture sleeve, 5×7 photo prints,  specialized Henry Rollins essays or testimonials by Lou Reed and Joan Jett. We were going to make a joke at this point about some ridiculous extra they were throwing in, but honestly just about everything we could have even made up was included. Seriously. [Via P4K]

Iggy Pop To Reunite Raw Power-era Stooges?


iggypop2

While the band started simply as The Stooges, their enigmatic frontman Iggy Pop inevitably took center stage. So when Ron Asheton, who played guitar on The Stooges and Fun House, was switched to bass in order to bring in James Williamson, who played all the guitar parts for Raw Power, the band became known as Iggy and The Stooges.
