During the latest episode of his BBC Radio 6 program “Iggy Confidential,” Iggy Pop spent two hours paying tribute to his late friend, David Bowie. He played songs from across Bowie’s discography. “The way I chose them was from memory,” he said of the playlist. “I took out a piece of paper and a pen and remembered what I liked at different times.” As he played different songs, Iggy discussed his memories of Bowie. Listen to the entire thing here.

Before he played the Station to Station single “Wild Is the Wind,” Iggy painted a picture of the scene at the time:

This was recorded at Cherokee Studios, which was just a very typical, good old solid rock'n'roll studio owned by some guy who was connected to some guy who always had a mountain of drugs. And there were people with hair too long for their bodies coming and going in weird cars. And strange girlfriends.

He also tells stories about eating hamburgers with Bowie and Frank Zappa, the local atmosphere that aided in the process of working on albums like Low and The Idiot, the actual room that inspired the “blue, blue, electric blue/that’s the color of my room” line, the time Bowie invited him over to listen to Let’s Dance before it came out, and more.
