Iggy Pop joins Shaun

Iggy Pop joins Shaun Keaveny ahead of his John Peel lecture at the Radio Festival, plus Shaun is after listeners' Earworms.

Ahead of his John Peel lecture tonight at the Radio Festival, the legendary Iggy Pop joins Shaun Keaveny on Monday.

The 'Godfather of punk', Iggy Pop, is considered by many to be one of the pioneers of punk rock music and his musical legacy has inspired and energised rock and roll's alternative spirit since the late sixties. Fun House was released in 1970, followed by the band's third album, Raw Power, which has been cited as one of the most influential records of all time. Iggy has also released music as a solo artist and collaborated with other musicians, including David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Death In Vegas and Peaches. His incredible back catalogue of classic tracks includes Lust for Life, The Passenger, I Wanna Be Your Dog, Search and Destroy, Real Wild Child and many more. Although hugely influential to many of the major acts that came after, Iggy's own wide-ranging influences include blues, jazz, french chanson, art rock, roots, reggae, ethnic and avant-garde.
He joined 麻豆社 Radio 6 Music as a presenter in March 2014, hosting a weekly programme on Sundays from 4-6pm - Each week he takes a different theme, playing tracks that he loves which has included music from Sinatra, the Beach Boys and The Temptations and new artists such as FKA Twigs and Curtis Harding.

Iggy will be delivering the fourth annual John Peel Lecture at Radio Festival 2014 in Salford this evening on the subject of Free Music in a Capitalist Society. It will be broadcast live on 6 Music, and filmed for 麻豆社 Four to be broadcast on Sunday 19th October at 8pm. He chats with Shaun about his thought and fears ahead of the lecture and how his musical history has shaped his desire to uncover music new and old for his audience.

The annual John Peel Lecture invites a notable figure from the music industry to shape a debate and create insight around music and music-related media. Taking its inspiration from one of the greatest radio broadcasters of all time, and a figure who perpetually challenged the status quo, the John Peel Lecture has been a part of the Radio Festival since 2011. The John Peel Lecture 2014 also marks 10 years since Peel's passing.
