He did that on his solo American tour, too. I was really fucking amazed and happy to hear a Birthday Party song when I saw him in Chicago.

When I was really obsessed with the Birthday Party I looked all over the place for Crime and the City Solution records (except the disappointing Paradise Discotheque) and couldn't find any - did anyone ever reissue them? maybe I should check on slsk.

I'm here to confess my love for 'Nick the Stripper' and 'Deep In The Woods', and the Birthday Party in general. Can I also say how much I love the 'Nick the Stripper' video? Fucked-up Nick truly is his best incarnation. It's the hair, I think. Oh and the dead stare...

Oh, and It's Still Living >>> Live 81-82, if only because of that Funhouse cover I just don't get. (I have the Stooges' Funhouse Sessions box, so it's not that I don't like the song, I'm just not into that particular cover version) And the Dead Joe arrangement on It's Still Living = one of my fav things ever.

One of his two best song intros (the other being the unintentional one at the start of Therapy?'s Troublegum album -- "HERE I AM, MOTHERFUCKAH!")

Does this mean... I dunno, reunion plans, new compilation, remasters, Nick playing Birthday Party songs live again, (any other ideas?) ?
