LOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!

Monday, April 13th, 2009

This video is one of those things that is so awesome it makes me laugh. J Mascis, Mike Watt, and George Berz doing Stooges songs? Oh hellz yes.

Pretty interesting quote from Wikipedia…

The set lists would be a mix of songs from both More Light and the Dinosaur Jr. back catalog, along with a handful of Stooges songs and a version of Black Flag’s “I’ve Had It” with lead vocals sung by Watt…At some of the tour dates, the band were frequently joined onstage by former Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton, during which time Mascis and the Fog would play several Stooges classics. Sometimes the group would be joined by guest vocalists like Evan Dando and Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie; a London appearance by the Fog with Asheton and Gillespie was marred when a fan spat upon Gillespie, which provoked the singer into hitting the fan with a mike stand as the Fog and Asheton were playing, ironically, “No Fun”. The Gillespie incident notwithstanding, these appearances by Asheton later led to a one-time supergroup of Mascis, Watt, Asheton, and Ron’s brother and fellow Stooge Scott Asheton, which inevitably led to the reformation of the Stooges themselves with vocalist Iggy Pop and Watt replacing the late original Stooges bassist Dave Alexander.

Equally incredible:

White Stripes on Conan

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

The White Stripes have a long history with Conan O’Brien, so it was only natural for him to ask them to perform on the last episode of Late Night With Conan O’Brien. It was their first public performance since 2007 when an entire tour was canceled due to Meg White’s acute anxiety attacks. There are rumors of a new album in 2009, although no official information has been released.

This show is Grand Palace approved.
