6. The StoogesFun House
Iggy’s probably my favourite singer and I was thinking about choosing one of his solo records, but when you see my next one you’ll probably figure out why I didn’t choose that. Again, what can you say about Fun House? It’s just so primal, a rock & roll record, and I can’t think of anything like it. From the box set you can tell that it didn’t just appear, they worked incredibly hard to get it that good, take after take after take. It’s just amazing, totally powerful. To be able to capture something that probably was more of a live experience and make it sound like they’re in the room with you… one of my neighbours has got a ludicrous stereo, and we’ll just listen to Fun House, insanely drunk, on his stereo. It’s almost like you’re there, melting your face. It was a fun night… you should come round, it happens most Fridays. That’s how countryside life in Scotland goes.
