I dig the new album but it sags a bit in the middle.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Monday, 20 September 2010 00:41 (fourteen years ago) link
yea my take on the grinderman stuff from the last album was like 'oh good he's back to something he's better at, well kinda'. but it's like he can't shake that literary monkey off his back? and yeah i really prefer the raucous jokester side of nick and i'm glad he's mining that or something like it again but maaaan do i miss rowland.

which = basically i am unrealistically wanting this to be the birthday party and setting myself up for disappointment.

I can't quite fathom anyone liking Grinderman better than the Birthday Party.

This is shit music made by shit people for shit people.
If you like this, blog about Nick Cave's fucking facial hair then cut yourself with a piece of fucking glass and throw yourself off a fucking bridge.

Insightful criticism!

If you're wondering what music King Boy Pato does enjoy, he can recently be found on the Interpol new s/t album thread ("Might get around to listening to this"): Interpol - Interpol

I love that he's also toting an extremely dorky looking canvas shopping bag, like he's returning from Trader Joe's.
I've been surprised/amused to see some fairly huffy reviews in The Wire and NME about Grinderman's "boring misogyny." Does one really need to be familiar with his body of work going back to The Birthday Party to appreciate the humor in Grinderman?
― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 23 September 2010 19:35 (fourteen years ago) link
mate, worm tamer is actually awesome. His voice managed to not piss me of like it does with post BP stuff.

That is a Current 93 shopping bag, the picture is from their most recent mailout.

From Glasgow Barrowlands on Tuesday night...

The live experience got a thumbs up from me, even if it was a frantic pain to shoot.

he's awful close to that masturbating caveman

Nick really doesn't like the look of Ellis' instrument either.

I AM SO FUCKING PUMPED UP FOR THIS SHOW
― da poupier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link
i still haven't heard either of these records! how did that happen, i'd probably like them. tho i always feel like the odd man out in that i like cave's brooding piano ballad thang, too.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
nah man i love that stuff too, nick is awesome but yeah grinderman smokes
― da poupier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link
going to see the show tonight super duper excited
― there was usic in the cafes at night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 23 November 2010 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link
basically, fuck every other rock band you could see live right now, if grinderman comes to your city you need to go.
some horny old men making crazy noise...nick was inspirational, never seen him before....so funny and rock godlike.
― there was usic in the cafes at night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 24 November 2010 15:57 (thirteen years ago) link
warren ellis was doing really bad things to his guitar...he totally looks like a manical manson version of late period gone-to-seed richard manuel (like last waltz era)...the bassist looks like the dude from sexy beast when he plays nicholson's capo in the departed
― there was usic in the cafes at night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 24 November 2010 16:00 (thirteen years ago) link

― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 24 November 2010 16:01 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, cave is one of those guys who just owns the stage. saw him w/ the bad seeds a couple years back and he killed. would definitely go see grinderman if they were playing near me.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 November 2010 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Grinderman 2 might be my favorite album of the year. Loud, obnoxious, funny, scary, catchy, noisy.

It's the sound of frustrated middle-aged men giving it their all one last time. That's fresher than the umpteenth love song from where I stand...
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 01:49 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, it might be my favorite of the year, too (along with gil scott heron; good year for middle-aged angst, i guess).
there's such a ferocious, menacing sexual vibe over the whole album. it's like steely dan got turned down by every girl they hit on in the gaucho era, and turned aggressive/borderline violent.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 01:53 (thirteen years ago) link
gotta see if someone nominated worm tamer for track of the year. i forgot to, but it's in my top five for 2010.
