Iggy Pop — the man, the legend, the former East Villager — is suddenly everywhere: in a new Chrysler ad filmed with John Varvatos on the Bowery, in a new Criterion Collection video in which he recounts his involvement in “Repo Man,” and in a funny ad for his new album, “Ready to Die.” (Oh, and being played by Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters in a new poster for the CBGBs movie.)
Not only is the new album streaming on NPR.org, but yesterday NPR Music put on a concert at Le Poisson Rouge that’s posted online as well. Watch as The Stooges play songs off the new album and then invite everyone onto the stage for “Fun House.” And when you’re done with that, have another look at Iggy doing Sinatra.
