yes. It does turn out ok. I just can't handle the initial awkwardness.

I loved the bit in the movie with Warren Ellis when they talk about Nina Simone and Jerry Lee Lewis and get all excited and let themselves be music freaks. I also thought the "archives" visit was a nice arch bit of self-parody about his navel-gazing and high self-regard - but then it led into some really interesting stuff too.
The Maron interview wasn't bad at all - I think maybe Maron was just really thin-skinned about a couple of good-natured jabs from Cave.

The archives bit was a set-up, right? That can't be real...
― Brio2, Friday, 27 March 2015 14:55 (nine years ago) link
ok it's all just sets. too bad. Warren Ellis really should live in that cottage.

A friend who moved away maybe 7 years ago left me his record collection to hold on to until he stops living like a vagabond and returns to collect them someday. Tons of vinyl, a bunch of tapes, a couple of VHS tapes, and one dvd.
I set up a new TV and blu ray player recently and wanted to test it out, but all my dvds were upstairs and I remembered he had this one dvd sitting with all his other stuff right near the new TV, which happened to be the Nick Cave "God Is In The House" concert film. I picked it up and it felt much heavier than it should have, and upon opening it I found a stack of naked pictures of his now ex girlfriend.
I don't know why I found this so amusing but something a bunch of naked pics stashed in a Nick Cave dvd seems so appropriately seedy and awesome.

I got to say the live version of "Higgs Boson Blues" from Live at KCRW to me slays the studio version. The slow and linguine groove of the live radio version is hypnotic, it kind of reminds me of the "Thrill Is Gone" groove. I hear the studio version of "Higgs Boson Blues" and it sounds way too fast.
― earlnash, Saturday, 27 June 2015 07:36 (eight years ago) link
agree, it's a great live album.
did you see the live studio take in 20000 days? now that's spectacular

Read about the incident this morning before the victim was named, fuck. So many times I've seen Nick out with his boys, skateboarding on the seafront and such. What a dreadful fucking thing

The death is being dealt by the coroner's officer and is not being treated as suspicious.

Fleeting impression, but he looked like an A+ dad and a doting one too whenever I saw him out with them. Dunno why I feel quite so cut up about this, but I made damn sure my own kids got an extra big hug from me when I got home today.

Yeah, don't know what to say. But very sad.Did Cave just finish a tour cos he was on one recently. Just think it might be even worse for him if he was away at the time.Must be devastating anyway.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 16 July 2015 07:09 (eight years ago) link
Well, thanks to the Daily Mail, who doubtless think it looks too much like Broadchurch not to go in with the intrusive photos (which I've not seen) its fairly clear he's there.

Hoping that grief and media pressure isn't going to lead him back into previous substance abuse.

Yeah, god what I'm hearing seems to indicate that despite earlier depiction as a near psychopath he was a fantastic deeply loving Dad who had a lot of time for his kids.
― Stevolende, Friday, 17 July 2015 10:28 (eight years ago) link
insinuating cave was in some way responsible, even when the circumstances around the incident are unclear
and what 15 year old hasn't seen a film containing violence?? some of these films might even have been made by a news corp subsidiary
