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?) ?

Birthday Party=utter classic in my house...they were arty, weird, but also physical and raw, grotesque, bizarre and wonderful. Also rarely has a band been so well-served by a great hits collection, I love all the albums, but "Hits" is still great, I still listen to it

I don't think I had really been living until I heard the Birthday Party's cover of The Stooges' "Loose". Where has that been hiding all my life?

Anybody seen "Mutiny - the Last Birthday Party," an apparent document of the overdubbing sessions for the final EP? (!) Info's here: http://www.fromthearchives.com/bp/videography.html
couldn't find a working torrent, I kinda gotta see this.

that rowland s. howard's album - "teenage snuff film" - one of the best of the post - Birthday Party members projects (including the Cave ones).
