Iggy Pop SWEATS it out with ANR

So it turns out that on Saturday, August 22nd Sweat Records will be throwing a little shindig at Awarehouse in Wynwood, to celebrate the release of some rad Iggy Pop shirts, & he'll supposedly be there as the guest of honor. & there'll be performances by Awesome New Republic and The Jacuzzi Boys, DJs galore, live painting by Francesco LoCastro and a bunch of other good stuff. All the details can be found at Sweat's blog.

please take a moment to Rock the F out to - Iggy & The Stooges

I woke up this morning with Iggy Pop's "I wanna be your dog" [posted below] stuck in my head, which meant I was ready to rock the instant I got up. I think it was due to the fact I've been thinking about Iggy for the past week since he's on the cover of The Miami New Times this week and gives a positively fantastic interview and shares his feelings on the state of rock and roll.

A few summer's ago I was at Gardener's Market in South Miami picking up lunch when I spotted a gentleman that looked a lot like Mr. Pop. I went to the hardware store next door to get a key copied, and as I fidgeted in line I said aloud "OMG that was Iggy Pop what the fudge are you still doing here." As I rushed back to Gardener's he was checking out as I walked in, I was so overwhelmed and busy wondering what the King of Punk was was doing in The 305, let alone in my favorite haunt that I didn't know what to say to him as I approached him. Coincidentally I was wearing a Stooges t-shirt that day [I was taking a History of Rock course during the summer along with an actual requirement,] and he pointed right at my chest and said "Hey that's me!" I chatted him up after that and will never get over how cool he was, or the fact that he was wearing a a suit vest as a top, a pair of shorts that most likely were pants at some point and a single flip flop. Now ladies and germs enjoy...
