Ages ago (something like 25 years, I think), I actually saw Iggy Pop when I was coming out of the subway at West 4th Street in Greenwich Village. It was kind of funny, as I’d been listening to Raw Power (on cassette, of course) all that week, so it was a bit weird to rise from that smelly, sweltering hole in the ground and have the man himself stroll by. I didn’t blow my cool, bite my lip or anything like that, jaded New Yorker that I was at the time.

Anyway, I thought of that when I saw the email from Aggronautix announcing their limited edition Iggy Pop Throbblehead.  Let’s see now: 7 inches tall, only 1000 of these will be produced, they’re a measly $24.95 and you can secure one here if you like, along with some other plastic punk warriors (Except the G.G. Allin ‘heads, which are all sold out. I wonder how G.G. would feel about his likeness? He’d probably stick it somewhere special, if you know what I mean). No, I don’t think there’s any peanut butter and broken glass inside the box, but you can add that when your Throbblehead arrives.
