SONIC J's PICK. "Iggy Pop is my total idol."—Kurt Cobain

"The Stooges also carry a strong element of sickness in their music, a crazed quaking uncertainty and errant foolishness that effectively mirrors the absurdity and desperation of the times, but I believe that they also carry a strong element of cure, of post-derangement sanity. And I also believe that their music is as important as the product of any rock group working today."—Lester Bangs, Creem (1970)

"[The Stooges'] Fun House is one of the greatest rock & roll records of all time and as great as they were, the Stones never went so deep, the Beatles never sounded so alive, and anyone would have a hard time matching Iggy Pop's ferocity as a vocalist."—Scott Seward, The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004)

"TOTAL CHAOS is the first book telling Iggy Pop's story of The Stooges from his own words. Grammy winning editor and avid music historian Jeff Gold spent two days at the rock legend's home sharing pictures and memorabilia from his collection. Featuring a trove of unseen photos, TOTAL CHAOS shows and tells, with the help of best-selling author Jon Savage, the story of the Stooges from those tell-all interviews."

(McDERMOTT, DAVID & McGOUGH, PETER). Durant, Mark Alice, David McDermott & Peter McGough. Santa Fe, NM: Arena Editions, 1998. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Illustrated Jacket. Artist Monograph. Fine/Fine. 143pp, 74 illustrations in color and b&w. This is the first monograph on the photographic work of the artist team of David McDermott & Peter McGough. With biting irony and an unmistakably camp sensibility, they have long mined the history of aesthetics as a means to illuminate the present condition of art and culture. The duo's portraits, nudes, still-lifes, and architectural pictures utilize archaic processes such as gum-bichromate, cyanotype, platinum palladium and salt printing - seeking a future through the past. A brand new, most handsome example of this beautifully produced book. 0-9657280-2-1 Inventory Number: 000415
