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.

has a new novel according to pitchfork

Ahem - 11 days ago...

I haven't got all day to read the 900 Nick Cave threads on M&N to find out which one has the latest news update!

Better doing that than reading the abortion that is Pitchfork!

nme.com is a bigger crime against the internet methinks

Hey, wasn't the second Cave novel described in the M+N news story actually meant to be another screenplay? Pretty sure Cave swore off writing another novel, though I'm not certain.

anyone got a spare ticket to palace show? pm me.

Nick Cave was on my tram this morning.

what was he wearing oort?

a suit and tie, a hat, ted baker glasses

i finally bought my first nick cave cd yesterday. i have loved him for a long time, but just never seemed to actually buy whole cds of his. i have no idea why. i got dig, lazarus dig. i am enjoying indulging my ears with the goodness.

Pretty sure Cave swore off writing another novel, though I'm not certain.

Someone better tell tell his publisher, then.

I hope he's sworn off revising 'em with a thesaurus.

which tram route oort?

It'd be no. 666, from Her to Eternity, sister.
Via St Kilda Junction.

boom tish....

1'n'8 Lygon St route

Is a great PUB strip circa 1994 from Fred Negro when he and Evo managed to get into the Melbourne mafia. My favourite panel features a shivering Conway Savage pleading with Nick Cave ''Oh Great King of Goth...What do you think of changing the words of 'Do you love me?' to 'do you love wee? Like I love poo?'' to which Nick Cave replies ''No sire I don't like it'' (It's better in the strip!)

blagged a ticket to see him at the troxy (really beautiful art deco venue - normally hosts shit discos and cage fighting) in london yesterday. first time i'd seen him in about 13 years. great set... seems to be doing the 'rock' thing with only a couple of ballads getting an airing. really great set though which seemed to have a great spread from his whole career. stagger lee, deanna, red right hand and dig lazarus dig were highlights for me but it was al pretty great. only the rocked up version of the weeping song felt a bit forced. all in all a bloody great set... he should be awesome in australia next year if that set was anything to go by.

''No sire I don't like it'' bahahahh

bahahahaha
