Whoa. That was unexpected and brilliant. Banging track with some bizarre spoken word.

This was Iggy getting in front of the #metoo movement :P

The track really went nowhere. Drums were nice but with little to no variation. Hope this was a little One-off type of thing.

Re: New album teasers
I'm not defending him, but Mr. Pop is of another time. The situations he describes are antiquated and inappropriate. It comes across as jaded and dated and not defensible.

As for the music... Listen again, and hear the build. I'm of the opinion that we haven't heard this level of sustained techno bombast since The Riverrun.

THIS! You just jogged my memory! This echoes the unreleased 2005 live track from Heineken I think with Rick singing, "Sometimes all I can do is count...."

Well, that was "5 Foot 5", a Pricey track, from the Akademik gig.

Re: Bells & Circles Ft. Iggy Pop
I don't think anyone mentioned this yet, but in the post-gig interview on the radio, Karl mentioned that this track came out of collaborations with Iggy that were done for possible use in T2, but ultimately were not. But they recorded this with him, as well as some other tracks that might be forthcoming.

Makes a lot more sense in the T2 context. That’s a film about deeply flawed people getting older and living in a modern world that’s evolved beyond their abilities to keep up. Think of Renton’s rants in both films and you can sort of justify Iggy’s as a similar rant from another angle. Which is not to say it’s any good. The substance is still an old man complaining about he can no longer do destructive things to himself and other people without consequences, which runs directly against the cultural moment in which the song finds itself.

Which basically describes every person on the planet. Including you and me at some point in the future. (not saying we're all flawed to the same extent as some of the characters in Trainspotting of course but you get my meaning).

And we must not have music that goes against the current cultural norms of course. I'd have to say they timed this song quite well, almost like they did it on purpose.
