The final, frenzied countdown to party time has begun. In exactly three days, the Magic City’s most discerning club rats — and fanatical apparel collectors — will swarm the Awarehouse for Saturday’s Sweat X Iggy Pop T-Shirt Release. (If you haven’t yet RSVP-ed, get on the list right now. Note: You still owe $10 at the door.) The Jacuzzi Boys will be there and Awesome New Republic will be there and you’ll be there … Right?
Most importantly though, the court is gonna be commanded by everybody’s favorite transplanted Miamian, Jimmy Osterberg, the King Stooge himself. Thus, today’s offering of pirated musical plunder is a new-ish tune by the Iggster, entitled “Pain,” pulled straight from the tracklist of the ill-fated David Lynch/Dangermouse/Sparklehouse book and CD project, Dark Night of the Soul. (The thing was half-killed by evil corporate greedheads. But thankfully, the internets are always there to resurrect the casualties of capitalism.) So download away, this song is a profound nugget of goofy genius — “I’m a mix of god and monkey!” — that will undoubtedly get you started on the road to preparedness for party time with Mr. Pop.
