When the Bowie mix of Raw Power was reissued this year I updated my diverse Iggy & The Stooges so-so vinyls and CD-Rs by ordering that one plus Open Up & Bleed and Wild Love from Bomp! I didn't have enough cash to add Kill City to the bunch - am I glad of that NOW. The only "problem" is this is yet one more upcoming release I need to get jiggy with... They're piling up like a sumbitch:
1,000 Years - The Corin Tucker Band (Oct. 05)
Marnie Stern (Oct. 05)
The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos 1962-1964 - Bob Dylan (Oct. 19)
Kill City reissue - Iggy Pop & James Williamson (Oct. 19)
A Can Of Bees reissue - The Soft Boys (Oct. 19)
The Promise: The Darkness On The Edge Of Town Story - Bruce Springsteen (Nov. 16)
And there's also this Jenny & Johnny album that came out yesterday. Not exactly essential; there's a huge quality abyss between Jenny Lewis and her damn boyfriend, but since I'm a Jenny fan I'll probably get it anyway. Let's add the facts that 1.- I'm still trying to come up with the coins to pay for Miles' Complete On The Corner Sessions before the next credit card payment is up, and 2.- My main prorities are Charley Patton's Screamin' and Hollerin' The Blues ($150) and Miles' Complete In A Silent Way and Complete Jack Johnson [that's the boxer, not the douche, evidently] boxes (around $35 each), and I got myself one overwhelming motherfucker of a situation...
