I totally gave up on Nick Cave at this point and didn't find the previous G-Man partic interesting but ... "Sly Stone via Amon Duul"? Hmmmm....

Extended version of the 12" features Robert Fripp on guitar. An unlikely collaboration but can't wait to hear it.

If Nick wasn't in that I would've sworn it was some fan-made vid.

i hope the new record will be better than this lame song, but it will probably won't/
― Zeno, Monday, 9 August 2010 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link
i agree the song is very disappointing
― del griffith, Monday, 9 August 2010 18:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Lousy song and lame video.

Haha okay I can tell it's meant to be a joke, but I'm not sure why anyone would think it's funny.

Alpha male hilarity & B movies w/ a healthy dash of racial profiling thrown in... I fucking love it. The gurning madman standing behind me at the last Bad Seeds show I attended probably doesn't. Get old and laugh at yourself, full stop.

lol @ the guy from the Hot Chip video also being this video and doing shit with his eyes AGAIN.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 20:40 (thirteen years ago) link
I dig it. Does a good job of extending the goofy evil of the "Nick the Stripper" video thirty years on, without trying to live up to it. Same for the song.

I thought it was a fun, taking the piss kinda video. And I don't mind the song either. (Possibly too fangirl abt Nick to give any real balanced opinion though, lol)
― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 13 August 2010 02:46 (thirteen years ago) link
first time I heard the song, I stopped listening about halfway through because it seemed kind of boring and repetitive. but when I listened again and listened to the whole thing, I liked it a lot more, the repetition pays off by the end of the song. Like the video too, pumped for this album.

surprisingly, the new record sounds better than the debut, but still - Nick isn't what he used to be, and i got somewhat tired of those Stooges imitations.
― Zeno, Sunday, 12 September 2010 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link
he's written songs for a stage version of Kafka's "Metamorphosis"? Is this new?
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 12 September 2010 20:55 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't no, but i wouldnt be surprised if he did.
― Zeno, Sunday, 12 September 2010 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link
know
he and Woz scored a theatre adaptation four/five years back that's been staged in a few countries - if it's all songs qua songs now that could be new
― Teddybears.SHTML (sic), Monday, 13 September 2010 04:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Nick isn't what he used to be
it's probably a good thing he isn't trying to do the same things he did 30 years ago
this is a really good album

"Nick isn't what he used to be

i meant in terms of talent. imo.
― Zeno, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:01 (thirteen years ago) link
i dunno, i never cared for nick cave before, but i dig what i've heard from this new disc. and i think i dig it precisely because of his aging, angsty letch he plays in these songs.

did you care for The Birthday Party?
― Zeno, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:04 (thirteen years ago) link
no. i thought TBP had some interesting-to-provocative lines (e.g., "oh! god! please let me die beneath her fists"), but the music left me cold.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:08 (thirteen years ago) link
i didn't give TBP much of a chance, to be fair.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:09 (thirteen years ago) link
will this album make me believe in the essential goodness of mankind
― markers, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:10 (thirteen years ago) link
yes
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:10 (thirteen years ago) link
ok i was thinking of buying it today & didn't but maybe I'll head out to the record store tomorrow and do so
― markers, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:11 (thirteen years ago) link
uhh . . . i was kidding? it won't make you believe in the essential goodness of humankind. it will make you appreciate the depths to which people will sink to quiet their personal demons.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i know it's probably only me, but i see a very slow and painful decline in Cave's releases ever since TBP hiatus.(though Grinderman are better than anything he did in the last 20 years)
