The BDay Party were fucking wicked and badass and awesome.Solo Nick Cave is hit and miss with some really awesome moments and some really low, bad moments.
But if it isn't totally awesome, then its atleast usually pretty funny.

I've also been listening to B-Sides & Rarities on my ipod, and that 3rd disc just keeps blowing my mind. Some of that stuff is jaw-droppingly good.
Just felt like gushing... that's all.. :)

I would love to see the Lyre Of Orpheus/Abbattoir Blues tour, that gospel choir he's got going would kill live. Imagine 'There She Goes, My Beautiful World' live. I'm also interested in their dynamic now that Blixa has gone. I wonder who'll do Kylie's part now on the live performances of "Where The Wild Roses Grow". Blixa had such a lovely falsetto. Maybe Mick will pitch in...

Is it just me or does Cave have a lot better sense of humor than he's usually given credit for?
― daria g (daria g), Saturday, 7 May 2005 05:49 (nineteen years ago) link
Apparently his publicist announced that he's doing no tours for 2004/2005, and in 2003 he said he wasn't touring a country that had declared war on Afghanistan, so god only knows what 2006 holds.

I don't think he's even come close to the level of The Boatman's Call since then, but there's enough there up to then to justify a resounding classic.
Seeing 16 Horsepower live made me decide Nick may as well retire as he wasn't really required any more - sadly he's managed to outlast them.
― Onimo (GerryNemo), Saturday, 7 May 2005 09:08 (nineteen years ago) link
Blixa didn't leave then, he just refused to do Lollapalooza. He left proper after Nocturama, having barely played on the last three records (Cave said that his presence and opinions in the studio were still personally valuable even if there wasn't anything for half the band to play tho). His replacement is actually Lolla fill-in James Johnston! Playing organ not guitar for the most part though.

Funnily enough, 16 H opened for Nick on the 1998 tour. I always liked them, but not loved. Appreciated the obvious Ian Mc. from Echo jones in the dude's voice, though.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 7 May 2005 16:35 (nineteen years ago) link
But the person way upthread who mentions Cave's "stifling seriousness" is really missing something. One of the great things about the early stuff (Boys Next Door through Birthday Party through, well, even "God Is In The House") is his mordant humour.

tbh, everything he's done post-Birthday Party belongs in the arena of the worthy-but-dull.
The lp covers looks splendid when laid on designer furniture, however.

tbh, everything most of what he's done post-Birthday Party the first four solo albums belongs in the arena of the worthy-but-dull.

I am glad to share a birthday with this man. I will listen to the Birthday Party all day.

Yes, that's right he's a Virgo/Libra cusp isn't he? I always kindof forget what sign Nick is for some reason. Happy Birthday Ivan!

Not really feeling his new album at all. Anyone?

I think this is good? If maybe a little samey, which they have been for a while now. Really like Cinnamon Horses. Need to spend more time with it.

The stringsy choir god touches reminds me not so much of Lyre/Abattoir but rather recent Sault and their own twist towards eccentric gospel. Not specific motifs, but the same freewheeling collage of styles, gooves and narratives. Cave’s approach isn’t working for me but he isn’t falling back on formula.
