I am low on caffeine today because I woke up an hour before the neighborhood store opens so I could only consume about 80mgs or so, so my energy this morning is being harvested purely by listening to The Dictators and their surfy junk culture punk.

🇺🇸 Iggy Pop "The Idiot" – 1977

A stark and influential album shaped by collaboration with David Bowie during their Berlin period. The album departs from raw proto-punk energy and instead embraces cold, mechanical rhythms, minimal arrangements.
Iggy’s vocal delivery is restrained and introspective, adding to the sense of alienation that runs throughout the record...
