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.

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.

Nick Cave will look like Jeff Kennet in the future

Kennett that is.

Cave on speed cameras (literally)

Surprised no one has posted this. I really hope he does this when he's in Melbourne next.

Nick refused to sing on the new INXS album. Kirk Pengilly: ''Another person we wanted for similar reasons was Nick Cave. He was one of Michael's idols, but Nick unfortunately declined and I can understand why. He was good mates with Michael and maybe he felt a little nervous about being compared with him.''

He was good mates with Michael and maybe he felt a little nervous about being compared with him

yeah, im sure that was the reason Kirk.

Kirk and his band mates are all taking a very long cruise down the river Denial.

to be interviewed by Dave Graney on next week's Banana Lounge Broadcasting on RRR.
surely unmissable radio?

on right now.

good show.

Would love to see a studio web cam broadcast.

is this still on???

Yep. Nick just playing some Creedence..

very good

not as funny as I thought it'd be, but insightful none the less.

Modi said about 3 years ago:
If Cave had half a dick, he would have turned it down
But he's a washed up hack, now anyway.
He's the Lou Reed of Australian music.
