Punk godfather Iggy Pop spent much of this decade reuniting and rocking with his raw and influential group, The Stooges. But his new solo album takes its cue from New Orleans jazz, French pop, and author Michel Houellebecqs 2005 novel The Possibility of an Island. Pop joins us to talk about crafting Préliminaires.

I tell you what. For a guy who blew his brains out with drugs and booze, who has pretty much done it all, Mr. Pop gives an informative and patient interview as always. The man is extremely intelligent, and I am super-impressed with him. His voice is really nice, and somewhat hypnotic. A friend of mine loaned me a cd of his called 'Avenue B." Excellent album. Mr. Iggy Pop, I hope you are making music for a long time to come! Love ya man!

Time always tells the truth about people. Iggy stood and is still standing the test of time; he's a real artist and a clever, thoughtful, pleasant gentleman with tons of humor and ideas.

he is everything everybody said. head and shoulders above any pop music or rap music now, IMHO. listen to "Lust for Life". and look at him!!! He is in amazing physical shape! He is probably 63 and has 8 pack abs. I mean.... jesus.

A really good and a really different album (by Mr Pop's unusual standards). One perceives a sad underlying truth t'it all, h'ever.
