“Let’s Boot and Rally” is a made-for-TV hit – yeah, it’s a hit – that pairs iconic punk rocker Iggy Pop with indie darling Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast in a way that recalls some of the stellar work of X. And it makes for a pretty good story: The tune, penned for the HBO series “True Blood,” was co-written by show’s music supervisor (and KCRW DJ) Gary Calamar and stellar local tunesmith James Combs. Calamar, who previously had gotten Neko Case and Nick Cave together for a killer cover of “She’s Not There,” explains how it all came together, starting with his weekend dabblings as a songwriter. Does this mean we’ll soon be seeing the Gary Calamar Quartet?
