The best thing about the recently reunited Stooges and their latest album is that they're back to peforming live. Frontman Iggy Pop was (and still is) famous for blurring the lines between the performer and the audience. Whether it's pulling the audience on stage, or jumping into the crowd, Pop takes the traditional music performance and forces it into chaos. He's nearly 60 years old but still (mostly) looks and rocks like he's 19, with all the sexuality and urgency missing from peformers far his junior. When they take the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage on Tuesday, the camera will have a hard time pulling off Pop, even if it's to show the great Mike Watt (Minutemen) filling in on bass.
Elsewhere, UK smash successes Arctic Monkeys' try to overcome the sophomore slump with their latest release Favourite Worst Nightmare (out tomorrow [free album stream],) showcasing their single "Brianstorm" on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Wednesday. Also don't miss a packed Friday lineup on the tube, with Jarvis Cocker (Letterman,) Mars Volta (Rollins,) The Cinematics (Kimmel,) and Kings of Leon (Leno.)Playlist: Picks for the week of April 23
