my 2006 resolution was to listen to more Cave....i failed though a friend advised me that she listened to enough to make up for the both of us.

what are the account details

PM sent!

there's a sexy new dvd of the orpheus/abbatoir tour coming out, 2 dvds+2 cds i think. pretty sure it was mentioned in another thread here... I WANTS IT

hope there's another tour this year, but i doubt it. at the town hall in 05 was awesome.

Boys next door: Great

Birthday Party: Great

Early Bad seeds: Great

Last album: Great

Albums from "Let Love In" until the second last one can pretty much get fucked. Boring boring old man music.

Interview with Nick Cave on Ghost of the Civil Dead where he says how they used his fame to push the movie and how basically it sucked:Great.

Ghost of the Civil Dead however, is a really shit film.

There's a new gift in the gmail.

has anyone got the full text of the classic article, 'a man called horse' written about him in the bad old days? it's online but you have to register. i'm sure we'd all love to read it

yeah i'd love to read that.

i'm down with mr nick.

jrekl.

I've got the actual Zig Zag magazine with Antonella Black's "A Man Called Horse" article. It's a pisser!
Obviuously I can't post it, so here's a sweet picture of the BP instead (gratuitous).

I've got a book of some wonderful Antonella Gambotto interviews (it's called Lunch of Blood), one of which is a Nick Cave interview from Zig Zag magazine, January 1985. Same thing? Did she get married/divorced?

It also has a really great postscript to it, I'll write it out for you sometime soon (but not now). It's an absolute cracker, in the postscript it says that he told two other journalists shortly after it was published that if he ever saw her again he would 'kill her'.

Same thing, yeah. The original article had some very unflattering photos of Mr Cave looking like a stoned giraffe.

Yeah well I'm not surprised! One of the best bits:

"Sighing, I ask him if he feels he has been deeply wounded in love.
His head droops. And slowly but surely, he begins to dribble. He finally says: 'Uh ... is this leading on from the other question?'
I reply yes.
He lifts his head. 'That was a lucky ... coincidence, wasn't it?"

hahaha!

gold

yeah annehelena, it's the same woman. nick wrote a song about her and another journo called 'scum' after the article came it. it's a pretty rugged little number...

and hand hell, that is a solid photo you posted... did lydia lunch invade mick's hairspray can that morning? and how come mick harvey looks the same as in every other photo taken in the last twenty five years?

and by mick, i mean nick.

Yeah I knew he wrote 'Scum' about her. I can't remember if that was in the postscript as well, but I read somewhere that she was pretty chuffed!

geez nick was good between 80-88 (with a slight resurgence for henry's dream). what the fuck happened? he's a wanker. if i saw him today i'd throw a brick at him.

i would like to read that interview. i am sure i would get a good laugh out of it.

I'll type it up and post it sometime.

All the Bunny Munro-related discussion has been here

Wow, It's a business aint it tho.
The Birthday Party however, seemed like, well, just a party..?

What's with the band names being written on the wrapping of the George Hotel in Melbourne being rennovated? ''Nick the Stripper'' is one of them.

''Cave is both a rampant misogynist and an arch-snob but it’s actually his snobbery that bothers me more – or rather, the way that his snobbery, amplified and encouraged by others, lends to his misogyny an air of respectability, as if it were something to be admired.''

Massive Nick Cave take down @ Overland.

Nice article, about time too.

That article is by ex-chat emmy hennings (in case you didn't realise)

shaun beat me to the punch. But yeah, brilliant piece of writing.

while regularly expounding upon the elevating notion of his ‘muse’

Actually, Cave stopped listening to her a while back
Her absence is behind Grinderman and Bunny Munro

This is a very true article.
I use to be a fan when i was a teenager too.

Excellent article. Worth the read and spot on in its analysis. I'd love to quote the best bits here, but that would mean reproducing the whole article.

Impressive article.
Caught a cab to Sth Yarra to score some smack with Nick. Hardly knew the man. Seemed a nice enough fellow when there was some gear about.

postergirl said 6 hours ago: That article is by ex-chat emmy hennings (in case you didn't realise)

I guess the $150000 ran out? Still, good on her...

Nick Cave voted muso PM

Rocker Nick Cave has been voted the musician Australians would most like to see installed as prime minister.

The singer behind the bands Grinderman and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fought off competition from Powderfinger's Bernard Fanning and John Butler in the MySpace poll.

On hearing the news, Cave joked: ''My first political act will be to introduce legislation forcing all Australians to lower their expectations.''

Other musicians apparently worthy of running the country include Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes, Dame Edna Everage and Kylie Minogue.

More than 300,000 votes were cast in the fantasy poll ahead of the federal election on Saturday.

Interesting how musicians who have the vaguest interest in politics (Butler and Fanning) were outvoted by a man who has repeatedly confessed to having none.

Probably says a lot about Australia, really.

Nah, I reckon Nick Cave just voted for himself a few thousand times so he could get in the news again.

Oh man, I just came across the Overland article linked above. Anwyn/Emmy - wonderful stuff.

what a strange poll. I might get a billiards champion to build me a skyscraper.

Oh man, I just came across the Overland article linked above. Anwyn/Emmy - wonderful stuff.

I could nitpick a handful of points I disagree with in that article, but seeing as I come to the same conclusion as the author it's probably not worth it. I think what I particularly like about it is the fairly dispassionate but weighty dismissal she gives him, like she's saying I have every reason to get very angry about your place in the world, but you're such a bum and it's all so obvious I can't be bothered with the actual anger. Which is pretty much how I feel about him these days, too.

i was listening to highway 61 revisited last light and had a lightning bolt moment on how much nick cave and bad seeds owe to bob dylan and the band...

anyhow, just thought i'd share that all with you.
