More Nick Cave please!!  Certainly I think some of his stuff is pretentious, however the trembling power of his voice makes the music so resonant.  Better than Nick Drake in my honest opinion (Drake played earlier in this playlist). cheers

Not my favorite Nick Cave & Seeds but would certainly enjoy hearing more from them on RP!

Probably the choice track of this fantastic album, for me anyway. 10

Just finished reading http://www.thedeathofbunnymunro.com/ by Nick. . . If you are a Cave fan it is an interesting insight into his mind. . . which as we already know, seems a twisted yet magical place.

Nick Cave by ~Moneypenny

Toon of the dark poet, Nick Cave. Turned out OK. If you know his music, you will easily get the reference.

Know what you mean about Nick Cave —- with me he's more miss than hit —- but I have this one in my Ipod.

Rubs me the wrong way.

I give him credit for trying to achieve soaring, but this sounds overblown to me, as do, to me, many of his songs played here.

I can generally take or leave his music, but he wrote an incredible (very dark, surprise) novel:

I saw him in NYC for the first time last year. Muse Awards, at Terminal 5-- he did a 45minute set that was really great--even though I only knew 3 of the songs It was still great. An enthusiastic seasoned stage performer.
Look into Dig, Lazarus Dig!!! And song Red Right Hand.

I like Nick Cave in small doses... like maybe once a month.. not daily!

I respect the music.. just not my cup o' whatever beverage i'm drinking at the time.

I saw him once at a pretty small place. He's really hot! Sorry but I hadn't realized that until I saw him in person. The music wasn't bad either!

Not the Nick Cave that I like. Bad Seeds are not the same anymore, since Blixa Bargled went away.

Likewise. Was afraid ol' Nick was getting a little soft with this album, but I guess there's not really anything wrong with a little melody and some creamy production.

Edit: Plus, he's got fresh bunches o' street cred with Grinderman

Wow. I just looked at Physicsjenius' ratings and he really _does_ think "90% of everything is crap". Of course he is willing to crawl way out on a limb, hang his bare ass out, and admit that Beethoven is not crap. Always easier to make "critical" comments...... Maybe an antidepressant/mood stabilizer is in order.

This is likely true. There are probably hundreds of thousands of Coca-Cola commercials being played on radio stations and televisions around the world, and people are hearing them.
