A Ten Tonne Catastrophe / The Nick Cave Thread

[Kevin Davis]

even if hes listing seasonal fruit, every line is sung with sincerity and conviction. blurring the lines of what is and what isn't a silly lyric

like on "she passed by my window"

"apple, plum and brand new pear.."

Oh yeah, this is a great one -- I forgot this was on here.

Saw Cave and Colin Greenwood two nights ago - even though they didn't play anything new I'm really looking forward to that next Seeds record.

I had a seat in the third row and it was an A+ performance. They played Stagger Lee during the encore for the first time on tour, having not rehearsed it for this run of shows:



Video is probably censored on RM due to the lyrics.

Apparently Colin performed on the new record, keen to hear what it sounds like. August is a long way away.

[LetMeSleep]

Oh yeah. This is fantastic.

[zeb]

So much better than the first single too. Excellent tune.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i loved it

[LetMeSleep]

leaked

[Simple Torture]

I had forgotten it was this week until I saw someone post a picture of the LP. Even with a leak, I’ll probably wait until mine arrives on Friday.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i was invited to a listening party but no thanks, i prefer to wait for friday. Im actually exited, as i havent been paying much attention to his stuff since...Push The Sky Away maybe?

[VinylGuy]

oh yeah Skeleton Tree was the last one i get into it

the other one i will do it someday but not right now. Im not in the zone for that vibe.

[zeb]

The new record is lovely.

Currently up to track five (Final Rescue Attempt) and it's a beaut, so pure, one of his best in a long, long time. Had to play it twice.

[VinylGuy]

Nice!

Tomorrow is supposed to be really shitty and rainy here, so it feels like a perfect day to dive into new Nick

[zeb]

Oh wow, the next song (Conversion) is just as good.

[LetMeSleep]

One listen...speechless....so much to discover and unravel

what a marvelous artist and what an amazing run of albums.

[VinylGuy]

Yeah, im on my first listen but there are enough stuff here to keep me interested.

Frogs remains wonderful. Long Dark Night was also stunning on a first listen.

[E.H. Ruddock]

This is the kind of thread title that bammer loves

Their last few albums have all taken a bit of time before they really hit me, and they kind of revealed themselves one song at a time, I guess. But they've all been amazing by the time I got to know them well. Ghosteen is one of my favourite albums ever at this point.

There are 4-5 songs that I love right off the bat here. I don't think it's gonna be such a slow grower.
