Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Latest CD purchase: Iggy Pop's Raw Power. It sez "Remixed by Iggy Pop!" on it. Is this the original mix that he did that was rejected in favor of someone else's mix? If not, are they similar?
eta: My other purchase - best of Material Issue. I saw in this article [link] that today is the tenth anniversary of the suicide of Jim Ellison (I wasn't familiar enough with the band to know he killed himself). Reading the article made me buy the album.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Power pop guys are always a high suicide risk. (see; Badfinger, guy in Gin Blossoms who wrote all their hits, et al)
Iggy never loved Bowie's mix of Raw Power, which was the original mix. Iggy was given the opportunity to remix the original from the master tapes a few years ago. It's much harder now and more of a Stooges album, though I kind of miss the delicacy on things like "Gimme Danger."

Huh. For some reason I thought that Iggy mixed it first, but the record company decided that he'd messed it up so they called Bowie in to mix it (and Bowie's was the version that was first released). Or am I thinking of some other Iggy album?

I think you're right, Tommy, but the reissue is a new mix by Iggy which is different from both of the earlier ones.

I think the original Iggy mixes are on a bootleg called something like Rough Power (on CD at least). I had a variation of that on vinyl at some point with a cartoon reptilian Iggy on the cover, but I can't, for the life of me, remember the title.
Anyway, it sounded horrible. The new Iggy mix sounds pretty damn great, though, except where noted by David.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Speaking of Pop, the BBC has cancelled Top of the Pops.
