A Ten Tonne Catastrophe / The Nick Cave Thread

[kreng]

why? whats the problem?

my expectations probably.

[Simple Torture]

Did that live album get a CD release? Or was it a RSD vinyl-only thing?

It was released on CD on Black Friday, too. The first store I went to only had CDs, and it took a few days to track down a copy of the vinyl.

I like it quite a bit, but I actually wish there were more performances of new songs. "Jubilee Street" woulda been nice. Also underwhelmed by the version of "God Is In The House" that's on the LP, which is a song I love, but overall very good.

[Birds in Hell]

I'm looking forward to this.

Nick Cave will visit Australia and New Zealand in November and December 2014 to perform a series of rare solo concerts. Supported by a small ensemble of musicians Nick will be presenting songs from right across his considerable catalogue, including from the stunning 2013 Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds release ‘Push The Sky Away’ which achieved pole position in the Australian and New Zealand charts (and five other countries). The record has since collected numerous accolades in Cave's homeland including gold sales status and two ARIA Awards (for Best Independent Release and Best Adult Contemporary Album).

Fuck yes. If I get my way I will absolutely be travelling for this. Excellent.

First time seeing them for me in Louisville last week. Blown away doesn't begin to cover it.

[Kevin Davis]

Saw these guys last week in Milwaukee, they were incredible. Cave is an outrageous performer--I was surprised how wild he was on songs when I would have assumed he would have been seated at the piano.

[LetMeSleep]

Hot Shit Fire, it's fucking good.

forgot just how incredible he/they are.

[VinylGuy]

Its been a while....but i love Push The Sky Away,

[William Bloke]

Its been a while....but i love Push The Sky Away,

Great album, been digging on it again just recently.

[Simple Torture]

I just got the first four NCBS albums on wax, and I'm not as familiar with these as I am with their 90s/00s material. "Your Funeral...My Trial" is my favorite out of the ones I've spun so far. Still gotta get to "Kicking Against the Pricks."

"Tender Prey" and "Let Love In" arrive next week

[Simple Torture]

I didn't want to wait for the US pressing, so I ordered an EU pressing of "The Boatman's Call" on vinyl. I love this record.

Ugh. Can't think of anything worse than losing one of my children.

[LoathedVermin72]

Wow. That's mortifying.

[Simple Torture]

Ugh. Recently watched "20,000 Days on Earth," and it was obvious that his kids meant the world to him. I can't imagine what that feels like.

[Kevin Davis]

How horrible. Thoughts and prayers with Nick and his family.

[Birds in Hell]

Incredibly sad news.
