Re: (TV) Ig's new one

["Per Rosén" <per_m_rosen@hotmail.com>]

Iggy's been quite productive the last years, I havn't been able to catch up 
with his latest tour and album, but I will buy the album as soon as I can. 
Live he's always great but he's doing almost the same thing every time. For 
me it means inflation and I lose my BIG interest. Iggy live and studio is 
two completely different things. If yóu look at his production over the 
years it's a pretty impressing collection. It shows many artistic sides, not 
only the real wild child. Everything hasn't always been 100% good, but it 
shows a honest approach, for ex Avenue B. I always wanted him to do some 
easier, laid back things. To use his crooning voice more. On the Av B tour 
it came true. In France he recorded a "jazz TV-show". A mix of Av B tracks 
and old jazz tunes. The guests were Chrissie Hynde, Vanessa Paradis and some 
others. A little absurd but it worked. (Though it was Chrissie that stole 
the show. She has learned how to sing over the years. Fantastic.) I 
downloaded the mp3:s from a French Iggy-site. (I'm afraid they are gone.)

Excuse me, Joe, but Bowie never screwed anything up. He just tried to mix 
something that already was a screwed up recording. Though, yes, it's a very 
odd mix, but as the Iggy remix shows, it's impossible to save or reconstruct 
it. It's a low-budget recording from the beginning and Bowie just tried to 
do SOMETHING with it. And he succeeded.

(Looking at your comment again I'm not sure what you mean with the 
expression "screwing up". My interpretation was something negative. That he 
destroyed.)
