Congrats Madge!
Published 3/11/2008 by BR at Asshat Hollywood
Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night in New York City along with John Mellencamp, Canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen, the instrumental band the Ventures, and The Dave Clark Five. (YouTube links won't work for some reason, so click on the text to view clips) She was inducted by Timberfuck, who I begrudgingly have to give credit to, because he did a decent job (did we really need two Britney jokes though?). Madonna decided to be from Michigan last night during her speech, though Madge creeps in every now and then. Then Iggy Pop (who was snubbed by the Hall of ...

Look What They Made Poor Iggy Pop Do!
Published 3/11/2008 at Vulture
To close the show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria last night, Madonna recruited Iggy Pop and the Stooges to perform versions of songs "Burnin' Up" and "Ray of Light" (the latter is above, helpfully recorded and uploaded to YouTube by some benevolent person with a television and a camera ...

On the scene: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony
Published 3/11/2008 by Sean Howe at Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch
At the 23rd annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC on Monday, there were big stars (Madonna, Tom Hanks, Billy Joel), maximum-credibility artists (Iggy Pop, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, Leonard Cohen), and by our count, three under-50 singers (Ben Harper, Damian Rice, and 49-and-a-half-year-old Joan Jett). So ...

Weird Web Wednesdays: There Will Be Bud
Published 3/12/2008 by Sean at Film Junk
I know, I know… you’re sick of There Will Be Blood parodies. So am I. But how can you resist a video called “There Will Be Bud”? That’s got comedy gold written all over it. Also this week on Weird Web Wednesday, an amateur movie production company makes a bid for your business with an amazing low budget commercial, Tim and Eric hock Absolut Vodka with a commercial of their own, and Hilary Clinton, Batman and Iggy Pop all find themselves in somewhat embarrassing situations. Each and every Wednesday, make sure you always pack a clean pair of underwear! There Will Be Bud ...

Iggy And Fatboy Slim To Be Your DogBeyourdogbeyourdogbebebebebbbbbbb [Collaborations]
Published 4/3/2008 by Anthony Miccio at Idolator
Someone is paying Fatboy Slim to make another album, and Iggy Pop is going to warble on it. "I've done a track with him and a few others as well," says the late-'90s techno duck. "We've been mates for years. He always comes to see me at shows and I'm like, 'You're Iggy Pop, what are you doing here?'" Good question. It's possible that the Stooges' less than transcendent arrangement of "Ray Of Light" inspired him to get a slighty (slightly) less outdated groove on. Or maybe he hope to score another "Aisha." Remember "Aisha?" This 1999 Death In Vegas collaboration actually made the UK top 10. ...

Crazy Haze: is Hasil Adkins the true father of punk?
Published 7/4/2008 by Owen Adams at Music: Music blog | guardian.co.uk
Judging by its trailer full of pontificating musos , the upcoming indie film My Blue Star isn't going to set the world on fire. But if it succeeds in converting anyone to the gospel of Hasil Adkins, it hasn't been a waste of celluloid. Besides, it would be hard to top the 1993 mini-doc, which saw the Appalachian backwoods wildman playing a gig on top of his ramshackle bus, trying and failing to explain the Hunch dance and prompting a drunken brawl between cowgirls over who got to sit next to him on stage. And then there was Hasil playing his alcohol-addled self in Die You Zombie Bastards , purportedly 'the ...
