What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



A flat liner. Not in the dead sense, it's completely alive. I like everything on this album. Just mean I don't love
anything nor do I not like anything on this album, thus a flat liner. Now that I cleared that up, this is Iggy
struttin' his stuff. Surprising this far into his career, his twelth album including the Stooges era. He could
still do it with some attitude 23 years ago, unlike that dreadful performance on American Idol last year. All is
forgiven Iggy, a man's gotta eat. Steve Young plays on here as an added treat. Hilarious that the album is
considered heavy metal. Listed on Kerrang's (Brit magazine) "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" list and
got Iggy a grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock/Metal performance in 1989. Ranks up there with that Tull win.
Granted Iggy had outgrown his punk image, but the heavy metal image just doesn't work for me. But hey, I'm past my
prime, so what do I know? In fairness, I guess most of the music on here would be considered metal, it's just hard
to say Iggy is metal. I'll compromise and put him in rock.The album could only muster a #110 on the Billboard charts,
doing a little better in the U.K. at #61.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Strong Girl

Best Track - Squarehead

You can kick me out of a real good jive
You can use my friendship like a doorknob
You can make me super styrofoam
You can make me feel all alone
You can stuff hamburger in my head
But I ain't gonna be no squarehead

You can tempt me with a pretty girl
You can call on me in fancy fur
You can say, "Just do it, everyone is"
You can tell me that it's just showbiz
You can turn my life from green to red
But I ain't gonna be no squarehead

You can burn my bridges down for laughin', ha ha ha ha
You can call me a fool for crashin', woh
You can make me stare down at the floor
You can make me listen while you snore
You can do all these things that I have said
But I ain't gonna be no squarehead
Let's go!

You can make my position low as a dog
You can trick me with your social fog
You can criticize my very bag
You can call my treasures a heap of slag
But you might as well eat lunch instead
Cause I ain't gonna be no squarehead
I ain't gonna be no squarehead
I ain't gonna be no squarehead
I ain't gonna be no squarehead
No, I ain't gonna be no squarehead
No, I ain't gonna be no squarehead
No, I ain't gonna be no squarehead
No, I ain't gonna be no squarehead
I ain't gonna be no
I ain't gonna be no
