This week we’re discussing EVERY LOSER, Iggy Pop’s latest album. Joined by a litany of guest musicians (Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, Travis Barker, Stone Gossard, Eric Avery, Taylor Hawkins, and Dave Navarro), Iggy isn't holding back at all here. EVERY LOSER is a strong entry in his massive solo discography. Seriously, no 75-year-old has any business putting out an album this good. We also trail off and talk smack about Ticketmaster for a while, but that’s a different story.

This week we’re discussing the legendary Stooges. This band needs very little introduction, but we will say they’re considered one of the greats for good reason. Although the Stooges did not receive much success during their initial run in the early 70s, their legacy—in addition to the lengthy and successful solo career of frontman Iggy Pop—continues to influence a laundry list of musicians and fans. They reunited in the early 00s with Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt. However, after the deaths of founding members Ron and Scott Asheton, the Stooges finally called it quits for good. Turn this one up loud—these guys are one of a kind.
Closing track: “Gimme Danger” from Raw Power (1973)
