This week on Mindtrain I chose to feature the music of Iggy Pop, in honor of the two Stooges concerts at the Warfield on Sunday and Tuesday (wrapping up the 2011 tour, these dates were pushed back due to a broken foot sustained three months ago onstage in Romania). Aside from rare and essential outtakes from the first two Stooges albums (including selections from the 1970: The Complete Fun House Sessions box set), I included a couple odd spoken word recordings by Iggy as well as a duet with Francoise Hardy.

Mixed in with these tracks were the usual eclectic array of strange and forgotten sounds, from the likes of Alva Noto, Waldteufel, Lady June, Sonic Youth and the Paris Sisters, among others. Around the bend and back again…
