The reunion of the Stooges is about to result in its second album. Although no release date has been announced, we have learned that the legendary protopunk band have finished ‘Ready to Die,’ the follow-up to ‘The Weirdness,’ their comeback album 2007.
The news comes courtesy of Melinda Newman of HitFix, who got the news directly from producer Ed Cherney when she ran into him on Wednesday (Jan. 23) at a Los Angeles recording studio. Cherney told Newman that the album is “old-time Stooges. It’s raw. They’re great songs, but not necessarily big choruses. They’re the anti-christ of anthems.”
Cherney said that the lyrics by the perpetually shirtless Iggy Pop were “very timely,” adding, “He knows what he wants to say. He’s watching the world around him.” He also said that two of the songs were titled, ‘I Got a Job But It Don’t Pay S—’ and ‘Gun.’
The death of guitarist Ron Asheton in 2009 brought James Williamson, who joined the group for their shambolic classic ‘Raw Power,’ back into the fold. Bass chores were handled by Mike Watt, who made his name in the seminal 80s hardcore punk band the Minutemen.

Hi. I'm Bill Hoebee and if nothing else, our show is ORIGINAL. If you have nothing better to, do listen in the morning...it's kind of like a train wreck for your ears and mind. My hobbies include identifying shiny objects, short walks on the beach, drinking, and keeping my 14 year relationship with my imaginary girlfriend alive. My favorite movies are "Spinal Tap" and any movie that begins with the words, "Ernest Goes to..." I mostly eat grape ice-pops and pie. I love my family, friends, watching t.v., and most of all...being a giant smart-ass for pay.
Look out, you rock and rollers. I'm Loretta (that's Miss Loretta to you), a.k.a. The Big Punisher. My mission: to start your afternoon off right, keep from killing Hoebee, and enjoy the beauty of the Florida Keys. I was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Jersey, and checked out every state but Hawaii. My favorite movie is "Kingpin", I like travelling, laughing, working out, music(duh), hanging with my friends, movies, and driving my cab!(I'm a full time cab driver for Friendly Cab, part time radio personality) . I love my little dog "Scrunchy", and he loves treats!
