original concept, a series of collaborations that Mr. Osterburg has done with others, as well as a handfull of covers.....great stuff, this needed to be documented somewhere, personally I've always thought his collaboration with Peaches ("Kick It") was fab, and Black Flag, Buckethead, Boss Martians, and basically everyone here seems like a perfect compliment to Iggy.....keep in mind this is only part ONE (of two) and all thanks to Jonder for this fine piece of work!

Iggy Pop has collaborated with a surprising range of artists during the past 25 years. Here are some of his guest appearances, as well as tracks from tribute albums. I've got another set of Iggy collaborations coming, which will feature Mr. Pop's forays into jazz, blues, electronic and world music.
Today's set focuses on the rock songs. They're not all great, but if you're an Iggy fan you gotta hear "Mars Is For Martians" and his wicked version of "Sookie Sookie".
We Are The Lilies is a project that involved Sergio Dias from the Brazilian group Os Mutantes. The BPA is another alias for Fatboy Slim, and "Superfrank" is a remix of a Monochrome Set cover ("He's Frank").
I combined Iggy's two songs with At The Drive In: his surrealistic spoken intro to "Enfilade" segues into the blistering "Rolodex Propaganda". I also shortened "Post Office Buddy" (sorry, Buckethead fans).

ReplyDeleteI didn't know about that one! Iggy doesn't do the intro, but he does a voiceover in the middle:

And here is a video of We Are The Lilies recording the song "Why". Aside from Iggy and Os Mutantes founder Sergio Dias, the musicians are members of a French group called Tahiti Boy And The Palmtree Family: vimeo.com/15148462
