Here's a short video compilation of Iggy Pop interviews taken from three different television appearances in Toronto.  The interviews are from 1980, 1986, and 1988.



Meanwhile, ahead of last weekend's gig at Chicago's Riot Fest, bassist Mike Watt confirmed with Rolling Stone that new Stooges material is in the works:

"I'll tell you this: James Williamson a few months ago had me put bass on nine songs that he gave to Ig [Iggy Pop] and Ig is writing up words...so I just know there are new tunes and in fact in November he wants me to do some more. I don't know about some album or whatever or what the plan is with that stuff, but very interesting."
