Ziggy And Iggy On The Airwaves

Mr Pop and DB get all moody at an Iggy aftershow in 1986.

From station to station back to DÃƒÂ¼sseldorf City
Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie...*

The BBC have a couple of radio programmes that may interest you over the weekend. First up, Radio 2 has an hour-long documentary Called: EARPLUGS AND EYELINER: THE IGGY POP STORY. Here's the blurb from the BBC site:

Chrissie Hynde tells the story of one of the greatest rock icons of our age and godfather of the punk rock movement - Mr.James 'Iggy Pop' Osterberg.

From his time in the Psychedelic Stooges, to the plain Stooges, then on to Iggy & The Stooges, Iggy Pop defined Punk before it even existed.

This special programme on Radio 2 features comments from Glen Matlock, Miranda Sawyer, Chris Charlesworth and the great man himself.

The show airs at 21:30 UK time on Saturday, and is sure to make mention of DB somewhere.

Meanwhile, Marc Riley has a Bowie feature in the Holy Grail section of his MINT show on 6 Music on Sunday evening. It's a short slot, concentrating on rare Bowie releases up to Diamond Dogs.

Don't panic if you've read this too late, both shows have online listen-again features that can be found at the shortcuts above.

*OK, it's not a Bowie lyric, but you tell me another song that mentions Iggy Pop and David Bowie in the same breath. Thank the lord for Kraftwerk!
