Hands up who wants to die....

Sonny's Burning was part of the soundtrack to my early puberty. How I miss it...

[Drunk muser]

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

My Dad loves Nick Cave, I enjoy a lot of it as well

[Thessi]

I'm a sucker for low, deep voices. Nick Cave has THE voice.

Mercy Seat :D

[tjej]

Murder Ballads is amazing, his writing is phenominal, but sometimes he doesn't half record some poor songs.

[That Little Animal]

I'm a sucker for low, deep voices. Nick Cave has THE voice.

Mercy Seat :D

Mercy Seat indeed!

Did anybody hear anything off the new album? I wonder if it's any good...

[Neil]

Two full new albums? I didn't hear anything about it, I was in the shop the other day and they were playing some songs off of it. It sounded ok.

[Pearl]

Murder Ballads is amazing
Yes, yes! :happy: Especially Lovely Creature - 'Oh the sands, my lovely creature, and the mad, moaning winds, At night the deserts writhed with diabolical things...'

[emily silvergold]

[Defekt]

This guy is brilliant, Listning to "Oh My Lord" right now....

[Wowee Zowee]

*bump*
he has an amazing voice...and i still cant decide Lanegan or Cave..

[Velouria]

Lanegan pips it for me, though Cave's voice is brilliant also.

People who love Cave's voice should check out Cathal Coughlan (solo artist, and ex Microdisney and Fatima Mansions vocalist). He has great lyrics too.

I love Lanegan but i sort of prefer his Screaming Trees work. Whiskey for the Holy Ghost is an great album though!

im SO buying every Nick Cave album asap.

You SO should too :D

I want Let Love In <3

[Ril]

He's the dogs live :D

[Thessi]

He's the dogs live :D
Don't tell me you just saw him :horns:

*jealous, jealous, jealous*

[Ril]

Saw him just over a week ago! :happy:

[Honey Ryder]

I sat opposite him, on the train from Victoria to Brighton once. He was eating a pannini and reading some tome by a 19C German philosopher. Our feet touched...

[Shadow Spider]

In fact, the last concert I was at was the Nick Cave concert in Wellington. The last one before that was The Muse concert I auckland.

There are some good songs of his on the b-sides and rarities triple. Namely the Shane MacGowan songs, uh, there's a duo they do of Where the Wild roses grow. And a cover of What A Wonderful World and Rye Whiskey is on there too. I like these.

From the Abbatoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus double the song Lyre of Orpheus is a good one. Or so I think. Breathless is a nice one. As is Supernaturally. I like that one.
Get Ready for Love, Hiding All the Way and There She Goes My Beutiful World are good songs.
This album is a lot less dark and gloomy than a some of the previous albums.

Right Now I am a Roaming is a fantastic Cave song.
Stagger Lee, the Curse of Millhaven, God Is In The House, O' Malleys bar, the Weeping Song, The Ship Song and The Mercy Seat are also Favourites of mine.

[breaking_porcelain]

Into my arms.

<3

[Wowee Zowee]

his new song is sooooo good :D cant wait for the album

[Velouria]

Argh, got all the way through ordering a ticket for Hammersmith Apollo from SeeTickets only for them to say there was a problem with the order and ring to check on availability. Boo.

Bloody ticketmaster is asking for the Verify By Visa thing on my card that I haven't even set up. Arsebucket. :(

[Magdalena]

I <3 The Boatman's Call.
Sigh.

[ʘ]

Love his new album. Also d/led the Griderman album, which was good.
No pussy blues :(

[Velouria]

I'm quite excited about the gig in May.

[Hyper]

oh the energy of Loverman
gonna see him in October, very happy about that

[Wendigo]

just got into this guy. I had only heard Dig Lazarus Dig, but then I heard a song of his on the X-Files and went back and got that cd, Let Love In. I'm really loving it.

[Gemsy]

Was on Radio 2 with Mark Radcliffe... night before last? You can probably Listen Again.

[Wendigo]

If that's only available via streaming audio then I'm out of luck. The internet setup here doesn't allow for streaming audio or video.

[Wendigo]

lay me low is pretty much the best song ever.

[Wendigo]

Can't seem to get over Let Love In. Murder Ballads is another great album, but it doesn't have the same atmosphere.

I love the lyrics in the one part of Loverman:

I'll say it again
L is for LOVE, baby
O is for OH yes I do
V is for VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for EVEN if you want me to
R is for RENDER unto me, baby
M is for that which is MINE
A is for ANY old how, darling
N is for ANY old time

[ScarredEyes]

The interview with Nick Cave in Mojo is a pretty good read. He has an air of slightly grubby aristrocrat about him, in his middle-age.

[Wendigo]

I'm listening to the album Your Funeral...My Trial right now. It's so weird, I'm really enjoying it.

[Velouria]

Stranger than Kindness is brilliant.

Have you heard Tender Prey? That too is a weird but great album. It's got The Mercy Seat, Deanna, Up Jumped the Devil and City of Refuge on it.

It IS!

And no I haven't. I will download it immediately.

[vampiresquirrel]

red right hand
straight to you
the carny
henry lee
lovely creature
into my arms
the soundtrack to "the ballad of jesse james"

anyone ever seen "wings of desire"? it's an older german (can't remember the german name) film where he makes an appearance. anyways, that was the first time i had ever actually heard him-now i love him. good movie too.

Not too shabby. My favorite was Up Jumped the Devil.

On a negative note, the album Nocturama kind of sucks.

[pinkfloyddsotm]

im really loving this song ,its off their latest album

I'd never heard of them before I saw them do Dig Lazarus Dig on Conan O'Brien. Great album

I'm downloading Henry's Dream as we speak, I will post my thoughts.

[Wendigo]

back to your funeral...my trial, long time man is fucking brilliant. I wish I had some smack, I'd shoot up and lay back and have it wash over me.

[Wendigo]

christina the astonishing, was the most astonishing of all

[Wendigo]

Henry's dream is cool, but in the end it's no Let Love In. Nothing will ever touch that.

[Wendigo]

aaah Green Eyes is so heartbreaking. It sounds so gorgeous though.

[Max]

I'm currently loving Dig Lazarus Dig. :happy:

[Velouria]

Some of the early albums are being re-released, remastered and with a bonus disc of stuff, according to Amazon. Kicking Against the Pricks, From Her to Eternity, and your Funeral...My Trial are included.

I've been listening to The Good Son a lot lately, and that album is becoming one of my favourites of theirs.

[Wendigo]

As far as early albums go, Your Funeral...My Trial wins hands down for me.

[Juuso]

His new book is ready. :)

Wanted to bump this, because I'm listening to him right now and reminiscing about the fest I saw him at <3 Love the duud, even without mustache.

DO YOU LOVE ME! DUN DUN DUN

[Wendigo]

Suuuch a good opening track.


Although you could be singing the closing one....in that case it's so depressing.

[Wendigo]

I'm giving Mercy Seat another listen right now. I'd only listened to it a couple of times before, and I'm really enjoying it this time around.

[Ril]

I'm gutted I missed his last tour. :(

[Velouria]

It was ace when I saw them. I thought they weren't going to play The Ship Song, and then they did right near the end and I nearly cried. Trufax.

[Clunge]

Which album is Tupelo on?

[Wendigo]

Which album is Tupelo on?

The Firstborn Is Dead.


Haven't heard that album actually.

[Wendigo]

Which album is Tupelo on?

Quoting you again. Just downloaded the album, Tupelo is such a good song! Never heard it before!

[Velouria]

Quoting you again. Just downloaded the album, Tupelo is such a good song! Never heard it before!

Listening to Firstborn... now, not one I play often. Knockin' On Joe is ace.

[Wendigo]

Here's a great live version of From Her to Eternity:

[Wendigo]

Do You Love Me (Part 2) is so perfect with good headphones

[Wendigo]

Moonland is glorious.

[Wendigo]

love followed close behind me panting at my feet, as a steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud

[Chocolate E. Clare]

Got Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus the other day (mainly cause O Children was in Harry Potter, haha) some of it's bloody good. Been meaning to get into him for ages but never did.

Album recommendations?

Let Love In is an absolute classic, an essential purchase, so I'd definitely start there.

I'd then go for No More Shall We Part and The Good Son for the epic-tune stuff, and Henry's Dream and Tender Prey for the more creepy stuff. Latest album Dig!!! Lazerus Dig!!! is worth a punt also.

You can get the Best Of pretty cheap now, and that will give you a fairly decent idea of their earlier stuff.

Nocturama is for me one of their weakest, so I'd avoid that for now.

Check out Cave's other band Grinderman too.

I do really love Dig Lazarus Dig!!! :D I must get acquainted with more of his stuff but I've just had no bloody time.

[Clunge]

Murder Ballads.

Get Murder Ballads, now!
