As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk The tide of public opinion had started to abate The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk I could see their frightened faces peering at me through the gate I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it I thought of my friends who had died of exposure And I remembered...
I think it's cool when an artist branches out. Like when Nick Cave became a novelist, or Lou Reed a photographer . It seems Nick uses the new Leica M9, which is a very impressive camera, a huge step up from the M9. Actually it seems to be beating the big full-frame cameras in image quality, something I did not see coming. And Cave's newest project is extremely "new media" indeed.
The little-documentary-that-could The Story Of Anvil , about the band that was like a "real life Spinal Tap" right down to having a drummer named Robb Reiner, stole everyone's heart this past year. Except for people whose hearts are made of stone. Or metal. Well if your heart was made of \m/ metal then it probably stole your heart, too. But if your heart is made of Oscar-material precious...
Yesterday, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the list of 10 animated short films that will advance in the voting process for the 82nd Academy Awards®. This is one of the ten, and the coolest looking one by far: By The People’s Republic of Animation. Narrated by Nick Cave. Directed by Eddie White [...]
There was an interesting article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about Tom Petty: Rock God Or Mere Mortal? "As Tom Petty prepares to release a career-spanning anthology next week, an attempt to determine where he falls in the music pantheon." The basic premise is that though he sold a lot of records, maybe because he was prolific with the pop hook, he just seems to lack the "cool"...
The Horrors? Why yes, let’s for a change look at something contemporary. I missed their first album, bar Sheena is A Parasite – guest stars and suchlike not withstanding, writing them off as a sort of one trick pony band, a bit like The Hives of yesteryear. That’s not entirely unreasonable, their carcrash sound of punk/garage/goth [...]
They say Hell is full of good intentions, one of which is my intention of writing a weekly post aggregating the B-grade stuff I post to Facebook . There are simply too many better things to do. Anyway, here?s some stuff I shared lately: Liam Neeson in the A-Team movie! I guess that?s what they call ? Fuck-You money ? . ¶ Isn?t Roxy Music?s More than This the most depressing song ever? I find...

Sorry, haven't been very blogg Oops, remembered that I swore not to apologise anymore when life gets in the way of blogging. I've been on autopilot lately; operating 'normally' face to face with people, but feeling really flat and numb inside, the sort of caught-in-a-bubble mood that can be completely indulged by driving the car hard down the highway playing Vienna at ear-blistering volume while tears...

Believe it or not, Nick Cave has been nominated for the 17th annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award presented by the Literary Review magazine for his book " The Death of Bunny Munro ". Other nominees include Philip Roth and Paul Theroux , whilst Tom Wolfe , Melvyn Bragg and Sebastian Faulks are all past winners! The award was set up by Auberon Waugh to "draw attention...
From Goldfrapp to Badly Drawn Boy, from Karen O to Nick Cave, more and more big names are lining up to write music for films. What makes the process so appealing? 'When you're writing a song, it's like you're the director, scriptwriter, cinematographer, everything. You're trying to create this little world, and although that's liberating, it's also a real head scratch. When you're just coming up with...
John Mayer’s Battle Studies is estimated to sell between 275,000 and 300,000 copies this week, which should make it the number one album on Billboard’s 200 chart. If it tops the chart, this will be Mayer’s second number one; 2003’s Continuum, which sold 317,000 in 2003, was his first. Casting Crowns, Norah Jones, 50 Cent [...]

Clash : 1. His band didn’t know what was going on when Kurt turned up on stage in the wheelchair This one is patently not true. Aside from anything else, Krist Novoselic introduced Nirvana that evening as I appeared on the edge of the stage with the wheelchair, “…he’ll pull through. With the help of his friends and his family, he’ll pull through”. The whole stunt...
