After seeing the video for it over a week ago, Iggy Pop's "I'm Bored" has infiltrated my thoughts at odd times, even when I'm not bored. This was the only time I'd ever heard the tune, but my first impression was, simply, that the singer was bored. My reaction, at the time and now: "OK, then. Being bored often indicates a failure of imagination, but it's no crime. Did you need one more song to fill up an album on a tight deadline?"
