I have -$4 dollars. Add that in won't ya.

Uhmm, if he made it that high on the charts and he wasn't able to hang on to enough money to have $60,000 he doesn't deserve a statue. Add my -$4 to.

Who?

In the UK, where Cave lives, he has never been as popular as he is now.

What bollocks is this?

$60,000? So, that's like, what, 500 euros? Right? Right?

SnarfVader: $60,000? So, that's like, what, 500 euros? Right? Right?

50p in Canada. That's some cheap eating.

who the fark is Nick Cave? Dark Prince of Rock? I can only assume this jackass gave himself this dumb bloody nickname.

eating a Cheese Steak?

He shouldn't have sunk so much money into that poor investment in O'Malley's Bar.

"Murder Ballads" is a killer (pardon the pun) album.

I liked the Grinderrman project as much as anyone, but if I'm going to contribute to a campaign to memorialize the driving force in all of the music I listen to it's going to be a giant needle full of top-grade smack.

I love that crazy bastard.

Hands up! Who Wants To Die!

You farkers who don't know who Nick Cave is...Just keep listening to your Nickleback and Disturbed albums like the sheep that you are.

/Birthday Party FTW!

Cave is a great singer, albeit depressing. People aint no good is a great song, and I particularly like his duets.

Also, Nick Cave and Shane MacGowan singing Loves Been Good To Me is a great listen.

FTA: "I'm glad they've sat down and looked at me from their own idiosyncratic viewpoint.

"I'm pleased they've studied the work.'


Well Nick, they'll see your work in a different light, when you go.

Hats off to the man.

And since there have been a couple of Birthday Party references already:



PEW PEW PEW

/I've wanted to do that for so long.

Danny: Why is 3 o'clock in the morning always the hour of choice to put on Nick Cave, get depressed and kill yourself? What's wrong with the middle of the day when everyone's awake and ready to call an ambulance?

Wow! They have Nick Cave dolls now? I want one.

/obscure?

best album

Why do I have to read these headlines eight times to know what the hell I'm about to look at. Subby fails.

Oh, good lord. I am so sick of moron asshats like you calling people sheep just because they don't know who you're favorite musician is. Idiot.

Cave's great, but c'mon. It's really not unreasonable that he might be under some people's radar. Even people who aren't "sheep."

Did I mention that you're a moronic asshat idiot? In case you missed it, I will reiterate: You're a moronic asshat idiot.

I love Nick. Seeing him in Sept with Spiritualized and Cat Power at the Hollywood Bowl. Yay me!

i know nick cave is critically celebrated


just not by me



/too stupid to get it
//i guess

"Dark prince of rock"? Really, Subby? You're lame.

sonnyboy11: I love Nick. Seeing him in Sept with Spiritualized and Cat Power at the Hollywood Bowl. Yay me!

Wow, that's an awesome triple-bill. Lucky you.

/Abbatoir Blues FTW

There is an album by Current 93 called All The Pretty Little Horses, Nick Cave guests on it, it is hauntingly beautiful.

And if you didn't already know that you have some catching up to do, but really...

Hush-a-bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleepy little baby
Go to sleepy little baby
When you wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies

Blacks and bays
Dapples and greys
All the pretty little horsies

Way down yonder
In the meadow
Lies a poor little lamby
Bees and butterflies
Flitting round his eyes
Poor little thing is crying
"Mammy"

Go to sleep
Don't you cry
Rest your head upon the clover
Rest your head upon the clover
In your dreams
You shall ride
Whilst your mammy's watching over

Blacks and bays
Dapples and greys
All the pretty little horsies

All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies

SoothinglyDeranged: who the fark is Nick Cave? Dark Prince of Rock?

You don't know who Nick Cave is? Have you lived in a cave all your life, you ignorant farkwit? He's one of about six musicians from the last hundred years worth giving a shiat about.

/calling him Dark Prince of Rock is moronic, though

I am making the trip from Vegas in September to see him @ the hollywood bowl as well.

He rarely plays the US these days.

His lyrics are too haunting and dark for any commercial success. That is why he is under most people's radar. Glad to see he is having success in the UK though.

Crocodile: Wow! They have Nick Cave dolls now? I want one.

/obscure?

I know radio station 3RRR in Melbourne uses it as part of their promos, so me and at least 1000 other Melburnians have heard it. Don't know what movie it's from though.

Guzzelwump: Don't know what movie it's from though.

It's from a song. "Nick Cave Dolls" from Bongwater's classic The Power of Pussy. Awesome album.

I'm tired of him banging on about murder and the bible.
