Nick Cave

[dentalplan]

Why doesn't Nick Cave have a Christmas album?

He does doesn't he? Packed with seasonal felonies and pissed relatives.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Hence the capitals

Yes I know

[Zoo Music Girl]

More importantly, I reckon we're making Jeffie feel a lot better in his illness by keeping this thread well and truly alive!

He can consider this our get well card to him.

(Jeffie, it was Jokers' fault, not ours).

I'm making a point of not opening this thread any more unless someone else does first.

I'm debating whether or not to download/listen to that Glasto bootleg. I'm not sure if it will be amazing or depress the fuck out of me for being over.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Far from Me sounds amazing. Haunting violin! What with this and Neil Young's cellar door yesterday, I don't think I've heard two better things through a shitty PC in my life. Can't wait till Christmas.

Slade or Shakey (The welsh one) won't get a look in on my stereo!

They played Far From Me at one of my gigs

When I first started coming here and everyone was talking about Shakey all the time, I honestly thought it was Shakin' Stevens for ages. What's the deal with that?

Halfway through Mercy Seat - just him, piano and Warren's violin. Fuck me! Rebecca, you're gonna be shakey when you hear this violin!

This is the exact opposite of that Killers' Christmas song earlier.

Arrrgh! Want it now!

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'm out tonight (work Christmas party FFS) and I do want to wait for the CD. I do.

How does his voice sound?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Just got my email saying it's shipped. Could be end of week then. Grrr.

[Zoo Music Girl]

This is killing me. I wanted to be the first to hear it! The internet ruins everything.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Also it's We Real Cool that Russy is always badmouthing.

[Osama Jim Laden]

I always fear Jeffie will snap when this thread gets bumped..

Gonna have a listen to the bootleg

[carlosj]

Sounds like you're having fun!

Ecellent - it's very stripped down. Only him plus 4 others - and a lot seems to be just him and Warren

Yes, different vibe from the gigs. Just put it on tonight. If I close my eyes I can taste the overpriced cider from the bar.

had a piano lesson last night and she told me to put my ipon on her speakers as we were discussing rhythm. I was listening to nick cave live seeds album and it was on papa wont leave you henry. It was amusing to see the look on her face when he sang about fags in whale bone corsets draping their dick across his cheek the sort of stuff she plays is alicia keys and the like

I prefer that version of 'Papa Won't Leave You Henry' to the one on 'Henry's Dream' by a mile. Was so good seeing it live at Hammersmith in October! A highlight.

Scruffy's posts have got me hankering for some Cave/Ellis action so I am listening to No More Shall We Part to keep me going until I get the new album. That violin gets me every time! It's the perfect soundtrack to winter I reckon.

So have you learned any Cave on the piano yet?

Yeh it's brill that version. That whole album is superb, I am listening to it loads at the moment. His voice was pretty different back then.

has that album not arrived that??? shoddy service that. How are we going to get the 2 extra tracks that the vinyl nerds are going to get by the way? I feel mildly panicky about it.

Nope I am way too shit for that. But it has crossed my mind about what one to try first when I am able. What would you go for??

It was indeed. I like the way it's evolved though. Like a fine wine, the man improves with age.

I don't know why I pre-order these things - they always take bloody ages And it came out in the States first! He's massively sucking up to the yanks at the moment.

I know - if Scruffy gets two tracks that I don't I will have to kill myself.

Well I am completely non-musical so no idea how easy or hard any of them would be, but I would go for "Into My Arms" I reckon. Or "God Is In The House". Can you sing?

I've just read the pitchfork review of the album, they say nothing but good things, but the c**ts only gave it 7.8. I hate music reviewers.

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18760-nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-live-from-kcrw/

I am going to order that cd now, fuck waiting til christmas. Hopefully we can download the 2 extra tracks from somewhere or other, otherwise we'll have absolutely no choice but to skin scruffy alive with a rusty tin opener and roll him in salt.

I cant sing, but when I am on my own I am more than happy to belt out the songs and in my mind they sound great. Into my arms is a good shout. But can you imagine trying to sing god is in the house?? especially the teetotalinarianism bit! (I cant even spell it let alone sing it!)

there are loads of ace piano songs to choose from though. Exciting times ahead, you should take it up!

Damn it - I upvoted your previous post so now I'm out of votes but that Scruffy line really deserves one

I'm not sure if I'll read that review - reviews tend to make me angry because they don't know what they're talking about. I'm glad you're ordering it too though. No idea how you thought you could wait until Christmas!

That "teetotalitarianism" bit is the best bit of the song! But yeah a bitch to sing I bet. I think "Into My Arms" sounds like an easy-ish one.

I don't have the patience to learn an instrument sadly. Or the space for a piano!

no it's a good review, aside from some nonsense about their setlists being predictable (though I suppose they are a bit....), and worth reading I guess. I'm just not sure how they they arrived at that score.

I have just ordered that album, and chose free postage because I'm a mingebag so I dont suppose it'll arrive for another 5 days. I am an utter tit.

I've watched someone trying to do a cover of god is in the house, and they utterly rape the who song and totally screw up that line. NEVER EVER watch it.

Okay, maybe I'll read it later.

I think I went for free postage too! We are too tight for our own good! You're not tempted to cave and listen to it online though? I definitely won't be.

Jesus, why the hell would someone film themselves doing such a thing? I think that would devastate me. It was bad enough having people singing along at the gigs.

Do you know And no more shall we part is on the live from KCRW album? Beautiful

Jealousy doesn't become you

You're lucky I didn't say I'd kill you... Taking it out on myself is positively noble.

I did not know that NMSWP is on the KCRW album! Or I did but I forgot. How exciting!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Might listen to it again today.

Please keep it to yourself if you do.

[russycarps]

Euphemism?

and also; COR!

can you make the extra tracks you get on the vinyl into mps3s and email them to us? Is that even possible?

HELP!
