A Ten Tonne Catastrophe / The Nick Cave Thread

[tattooedeverything]

I always loved "Wonderful Life" from Nocturama.

I always loved "Wonderful Life" from Nocturama.

Originally, I only really played "Babe , im on fire" or "wonderful life".

Now i love them all including "there is a town" and "rock of gibraltar". and i think "bring it on" might be my fav nick cave song! sometimes it feels like nick cave challenges himself to write a terrible song and make it sincere, which gives songs a few extra layers to figure out.

White Elephant on Carnage is lights out brilliant. Wowzers.

[Strat]

Geez. He lost another son.

Can't really pass on a show in my town.

Higgs, is this before you set off?

[VinylGuy]

i really need to see the last movie he did, and maybe rewatch one more time with feeling.

[LetMeSleep]

Has anyone seen these two live without Bad Seeds?

[Higgs]

Can't really pass on a show in my town.

Higgs, is this before you set off?

Nah, we drive out of Perth on Nov 28th. I'm OUT!

[LetMeSleep]

Got third row. Oh yeah.

[Higgs]

^^Nice.

Friend of my brother's is in Luxembourg just now and was out for lunch and found themselves at the table next door to this chap.



Wasn't sure who it was but then Nick Cave walked in and sat down and they all had a jolly chat apparently.

Random.

[LetMeSleep]

Nice!! Glad you got to the show. Sounds excellent.

[VinylGuy]

really cool pics.

I need to dive into those two. They were a lot around the time they were released but im prepared now.

Also i should watch the new movie.

[LetMeSleep]

I forgot just how funny he is. It was a really relaxed show. He got the city wrong and then constantly threw back to that mistake throughout. At one point some yelled out for a Grinderman song.

Cave: Oh no. We can't do those anymore.... There was a petition..... You only have yourselves to blame.

And Colin Greenwood was on bass. He was so relaxed too and clearly loving it. He was beaming. (as an aside at apparently one Aust gig he introduced Colin as formerly in Radiohead.)

[LetMeSleep]

I wish there was more Carnage or Ghosteen material in this.

[Birds in Hell]

Some fabulous understated ensemble playing here by the Bad Seeds:

In case any other fans are interested, I made this for myself to supplement the official compilations. Glad to share if you want to shoot me a PM.
