The Stooges - My Idea Of Fun All Over The Internet

Last week saw just about every dusty old band in the history of the universe get back together even though nobody has expressed an interest in them for longer than anyone cares to remember - yes James and Crowded House, we mean you.

So it's a breath of fresh air to know that there's one reforming band out there that still matters - yes The Stooges, we mean you. The three albums that The Stooges released in the late 1960s and early 1970s ripped a hole in music so large that its never quite been repaired - and now The Stooges are back just to make it a bit bigger again. Like the last 33 years never happened, Iggy Pop has recruited The Stooges for The Weirdness, a Steve Albini-produced album that'll be seeing the light of day In March.

That's too long to wait, so it's just as well The Stooges have discovered MySpace and splashed a new track, My Idea Of Fun, all over it. My Idea Of Fun is classic Stooges - Iggy Pop's red-raw livewire yell has never sounded better than when backed by Ron and Scott Asheton's planet-shredding primitive thump and roar - and, if nothing more, it answers the question of what Iggy Pop's idea of fun is ("My idea of fun" he informs us "is killing everyone"). My Idea Of Fun by The Stooges is exactly what you need on a Monday morning - loud, stroppy and more exciting than anything you can think of. Bring on The Weirdness.
