great album, I like it a bit more than "Lust For Life" (just a bit!). The most haunting Iggy record...

Arguably Mr Pop's finest solo album, and the best of the Bowie collaborations.

Yeah, I think it was two or three hours after he died. Joy Division were going to fly out for their first American tour a few days later.

So was the music actually playing? The record must have been skipping then. Even creepier.

No, the needle was stuck in the run-off groove at the end of Side 2, I think.

the idiot and lust for life are great albums...though i've kinda been fascinated with iggy's "party" album recently. it's kinda crappy and skanky, but that's exactly why i enjoy it. you can smell the dysfunction wafting from the speakers.

"Pumping For Jill" is hilarious.

When I'm asleep, you touch my feet
You let me know that I am no creep
Because I love you, you are for real
I'm gonna stay here - pumping for Jill
In the gas station where I work
Everyone treats me just like a jerk
Nobody offers me a tip
I'm gonna stay here - pumping Jill's hips...
I met you out at the Mardi Gras
On a French Quarter sidewalk
When you kissed me, it was strong
I wonder if you'll hear this song
La da da da da da, da da da da...

Really, there'a deluxe edition? Seems to me there's never been a really good Iggy compilation album. His best material come more from his experimental than from his harder stuff. I'll have to check that out with the deluxe cd. thanks.
