The Ig Man

Iggy Pop: In my system -- See what this artist is listening to, including Tom Waits' ''Bone Machine,'' Nick Cave & the Bad Seads' ''Henry's Dream,'' and more

Iggy Pop puts out a new album next month but finds ''most records released today to be unworthy dross. I buy them because I want to know what's around, but I never finish them. You can rip off my 10 bucks, but I won't sit still while you bore me.''

· Tom Waits Bone Machine
For ''a sense of personality, and the beauty of the melodies.''

· Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Henry's Dream
''Cave actually writes memorable tunes.''

· Various Artists Gnawa Music of Marrakesh
''An excellent North African recording from Bill Laswell's Axiom label. He only records what he wants to and therefore makes records worth listening to.''
