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.

"nick cave had watched violent films with his children" ffs
― bizarro gazzara, Friday, 17 July 2015 10:16 (eight years ago) link
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

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.

I've yet to hear a single album by him. I suppose I could start here.
― pomenitul, Monday, 23 September 2019 11:44 (four years ago) link
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.

I went to the Q&A Friday night and he totally denied they were working on a new album. I guess if it was already in the can he might have been technically truthful.

wonder just how long the two long songs are, presumably quite a bit since they make up half the album
intrigued and looking forward to this
