Iggy Pop on finding new music: ‘At my age, it helps to remain curious’ - The Guardian

You could ask 100 people to sing it and it wouldn’t sound the same.

Ever since my adolescence, I’ve got angry when the radio played something trite and felt good when I liked something new.

There’s a semi-doctrine of repetition-based music on the show – after all, I’ve been doing what I do for a while.

(Somebody once tried to be sarcastic and said: “How many times can he sing ‘I wanna be your dog?’” I could sing it until it fucking gets over. I got it over.) The most fun ones to listen to tend to be real young people.

I like stuff that sounds like now and sometimes it sounds even better if you play it next to something that sounds like then, so I’ll play a jazz record next to Goat Girl, and they complement each other.

But there’s people using synthesisers to play with guitars, horns, hypnotic breaths, and it’s fantastic.

From Sons of Kemet to the Comet Is Coming, there’s so much good stuff about now.
