Search & Destroy: Iggy Pop & Ginger Baker - "Lonely Boy" (The Black Keys)

Iggy Pop & Ginger Baker are a couple of nearly unfathomable Rock "N" Roll legends; The kinda guys that are libel to have hooked up with your mother, grandmom, and sister back in their 1960-70's heyday! Iggy Pop is quite arguably considered "The Godfather of Punk" ... having slept with David Bowie, essentially invented the stagedive, cut himself with shards of glass during a live show, and then notoriously labelled as "crazy" by none other than Alice Cooper! Pop then then came into prominence with The Stooges, while Ginger Baker was the righteous drummer for Cream, Blind Faith, and more taste-makers. Film-maker/writer Jay Bulger attempted to capture the over-indulgent life and times of the now 73-year-old Jazz drumming madman in his documentary, "Beware of Mr. Baker" ... Bulger ultimately got to score interviews with Ginger Baker's friends-collaborators, chronicle his assorted hobbies, and when he finally got a chance to talk with his idol - Jay Bulgar managed to get socked square in the nose!

In a simple twist of fate, Ginger Baker & Iggy Pop have now linked up to record a faithful cover of The Black Keys' semi-recent hit single, "Lonely Boy." Cleopatra Records got a bunch of Blues/Rock "N" Roll vets together, and coaxed them to cover Black Keys tracks, which were then strewn together across Black On Blues. It's almost an ass-backwards concept, because I'm sure @ least a couple of these guys helped shape The Black Keys' Blues Rock-based sound. Oddly enough, "Lonely Boy" was actually released as the lead single on The Black Keys' 7th and most recent album, El Camino. But with that said, it's an AWESOMELY-executed cover... Ginger Baker's drumming is just as on-point as it was on "White Room" (1968) and Iggy Pop still OWNS that "get-into-a-black-tie-event, shirtless" Punk Rocker steez! Black On Blues has been available for your sheer consumption [enjoyment] since about mid-July. Dan Auerbach & Patrick Carney are supposedly already working on their untitled 8th studio album, which is roughly slated for a March 2013 world-wide release.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
