Iggy Pop has revealed that he has recorded a jazz album based on the French author Michel Houellebecq's novel 'La Possibilité D'une Ile' ('The Possibility Of An Island').
In a video interview originally posted on Iggypop.org, which you can watch below, Pop explains that he decided to record the album - called 'Preliminaires' - because he was "sick" of listening to guitar bands.
"It's a quieter album with some jazz overtones," he said. "That's because at one point I just got sick of listening to idiot thugs with guitars, banging out crappy music. And I was starting to listen to a lot of New Orleans-era Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton type of jazz."
Pop added that he was originally approached to contribute songs to a documentary about Houellebecq's attempts to get the novel turned into a film.
One song on the album, called 'Les Feuilles Mortes' ('Autumn Leaves'), is sung in French.
"I've made it really especially for France and people who speak French," the singer revealed.
At one point during the video Pop - who is seen sitting by a swimming pool - picks up a white dog and shows it to the camera. After he finishes speaking a song from the album named 'King Of The Dogs' plays. The singer said that the song is about "just how cool it is to be a dog and how much it beats human life".

Drugi Zivot oficijelni video spot Tuzlanske grupe No Rules sa albuma "Probaj Me" 2007
My Bosnian pen-pal, Bojan, plays with this band.
I was kind of disappointed he wasn't wearing the 'Smitty' t-shirt I sent him in the video.
But then I noticed it was from 2007, I think it says.
Maybe in the next video...

Hillbilly Comics!
FROM: Again With The Comics
Brian Hughes goes on and on about comics.

Hillbilly Comics!
Goldurn if'n thar weren't a hillbilly craze back in the mid-1950's, an' goldurn if comics didn't try to cash in like everyone else! As America emerged from World War II and entered the atomic age, a group of lovable, backwards, shabbily-dressed hill folk were left behind by a combination of poverty and geographic remoteness. Their feudin' moonshine-drinkin', cousin-marryin' ways were pure comedy gold for the country's burgeoning entertainment industry, and soon the movies, television, and yes, comics had hillbilly fever. For years, the American hillbilly provided his wealthier, more sophisticated countrymen with countless hours of joyful schadenfreude before the fad wore off, and they went back to just being poor people. Anyhow, bite off a chaw o' tabaccy, have a sip o' some of this hyar corn likker, dig inta some of maw's possum pie, and enjoy some good old fashioned, down-home HILLBILLY COMICS:
