A Ten Tonne Catastrophe / The Nick Cave Thread

[LoathedVermin72]

Just when I thought it wasn’t possible to love this man any more

[Kevin Davis]

I really love "Ghosteen." A work of art.

[LoathedVermin72]

Ghosteen is his best album, no doubt.

It's fucking hard to write to Nick Cave. I'm currently (and have been for the past 9 years) emulating your rock n' roll persona in a Nick Cave tribute band. I dress up like you (a cheap version, no stylist, can't find a shirt like yours) and in a shamanistic way recreate your live performances, sometimes succeeding to trick the audience into a feeling of being nearer to you. I'm sorry if you feel I am a vampire sucking on you, but I'm not ready to "do my own thing". In the name of the Cave Dogs (the tribute band from Serbia, not the power pop band from Boston) I have to ask you if you know of us, and what do you think of us?
Watch here.

NIK, BELGRADE, SERBIA

Dear Nik,

I was not familiar with the Cave Dogs, I am afraid, but having watched you on YouTube, I have this to say — you sound fucking terrifyingly like me. You have even perfected my peculiar relationship with the Gods of Intonation. In fact, when I was playing it Susie, my wife, walked in the room with her arms full of dresses and fabric swatches and said, “Wo! Babe, you’re sounding good.” And I’m like, “Thanks. It’s not me. It’s a Serbian imposter.” And she says, “Oh, sorry,” and walks out again. So, you are obviously doing something right. But you are also correct to suggest you don’t have the right shirt. If you send me your email address, I’ll send you one of my old ones and a suit — I have many — or a hit squad. I’m not sure which.

Love, the other Nick

[psychobain]

I would say this was a very solid choice as LP #1.

[Strat]

Got presale tickets for the show in denver this october! Beyond thrilled as ive never seen him

[LoathedVermin72]

It’d be cool to see him but I’m finding it harder and harder to justify paying for concert tickets these days.

The people? the Cost? The chaos?

The cost, primarily.

Buy a couple less blue rays and go see nick cave!

I do wish it was in a theatre though. I got GA and would rather have a seat in a fancy room.

[Stardog Champion]

I grabbed a presale ticket today as well. I'm not a huge fan, but I like a lot of his work so I was happy to see that there were some really affordable options in regards to price. I expected ticket prices to be a bit higher for his shows.

[Gods' Die]

Anyone have presale details they can share?

Tell us a joke.

JOSEPH, DEN HAAG, NETHERLANDS

Dear Joseph,

No, but Juan will.

Love, Nick

Do you often think of the circumstances of your death, Nick? I do. When I die, I wanna die peacefully like my Grandpa did, in his sleep, and not screaming and cursing like all the passengers in his car.

JUAN, ALICANTE, SPAIN

Dear Juan,
This is the 20,000th question to The Red Hand Files. It is also the funniest. I am sending it out to the world as an act of mercy and although I don’t think about the circumstances of my death too much, I hope I’ll go with as much joy and humour in my heart as I had upon reading your question. You are a beautiful human being and thank you for the many letters you have sent.

Love, Nick
