Nick Cave : Classic or Dud ?

that is heartbreaking.

It was just on the local news. shocking.

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

there was a great picture of nick w/ his boys on twitter the other day:

This is horrible. Poor guy.

So awful :(

awful awful awful

my god, that photo.

Rest In Peace.

I am so sad about this, the statement they issued made me cry so hard. can't even imagine the pain.

My coworker recently lost his stepdaughter

I cannot imagine anything more life-shattering

Loved the last scene in 10,000 Days where he's eating pizza with them and watching cartoons.

yeah that was cool

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.

hug them for me too :)

11 year old wasn't best pleased the first time round tbh

lol

very sad.

oh man, so sad

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.

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.

A parent's worse fear, I just can't imagine what the family is going through, my heart goes out to them.

Cave, who is known as the Prince of Darkness because of his obsession with death and violence...

Jesus, that's some sub-Daily Mail spitefulness there

what the hell

two days running apparently as well

"nick cave had watched violent films with his children" ffs

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.

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

I want him to beat the shit out of whoever wrote that

the worst

JCLC otm

well this is terrible

Saw the Distant Sky simulcast screening on Thursday. Clearly the arena shows were all pretty much identical because it was the same set I saw in London. A poorer show tbh, the version of Tupelo in articular wasn't nearly as good and the whole thing seemed a lot more one-note in terms of song tempo. Some observations:

Still don't like that new arrangement of The Ship Song.
Martyn Casey has mutated into Steve Bannon.
Jim S has turned into Mark 'Chappers' Chapman.
The hands-on-hip shaker action Jim did during Red Right Hand was a tad camp.
Loved Thomas Winder's confused face when he was trying to watch for a cue during The Weeping Song when Nick was on walkabout.
Laughed out loud at Thomas' panic during the count-in for Push The Sky Away when he realised his beater was the wrong way round.

Sad news – ex-Bad Seed Conway Savage has passed away of a brain tumour, aged 58. RIP.

oh fuck

RIP :( :( :(

why am I looking for Waldo

You can expect a new album next week.

It is called Ghosteen.

It is a double album.

Part 1 comprises of eight songs.

The Spinning Song
Bright Horses
Waiting For You
Night Raid
Sun Forest
Galleon Ship
Ghosteen Speaks
Leviathan

Part 2 consists of two long songs, linked by a spoken word piece.

Ghosteen
Fireflies
Hollywood

The songs on the first album are the children.

The songs on the second album are their parents.

Ghosteen is a migrating spirit.

Exciting!

Seeing his Q&A next Monday. Wonder if he will add anything new to the setlist...

BIG GHOST aka the steendriver

I've yet to hear a single album by him. I suppose I could start here.

Hmm, I'm not sure any one album is the definitive "one to start with," but (having not heard it), I'm not sure this album is that one.
