Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

[littlebabyjesus]

No, you were right as far as you went, but you missed half of it.

I got the important bit, I think, which was the emotion.

 

[The Groke]

I would have liked to have gone to that. Did he sing the lyrics quoted there?

His stuff at the end, yes.

From memory, he performed Wild Roses, Henry Lee, In To My Arms and a few others as well.

The Kylie lyrics, he quoted, in a doom-laden and sorrowful tone.

I can imagine that

Exactly.

Who cares if he's a christian or a satanist? He's simply amazing and has made some of the best music around.

Nick Cave =

 

[Nanker Phelge]

well Cave isn't any kind of proselytising (sp?) christian, and it doesn't matter to him I'm sure if you take away from his work ideas about Christianity. He's rarely explicit. I just wanted to be clear that he is a Christian even if he's not a "Christian musician" per se

Indeed, we're not gonna find cave albums on the shelves at the Christian bookshop next to Stryper.

 

[Blagsta]

It's pathetic innit. I've basically only listened to roots reggae for the last five years or so. I thought rock was for kids. Still do really.

You might also want to check out Tom Waits if you haven't yet.

95% of people who call themselves "Christian" are nothing of the sort. As was of course predicted by Christ.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Exactly.

He was never going to end up as Australia's answer to Cliff Richard, not after all that heroin in Berlin.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

One of my favourite Cave memories is turning up at Reading festival alone back in the late 80s - I was very young - and I made my way to the stage just as Nick Cave walked on and threw up.

 

[phildwyer]

Tom Waits I do know, he's a bit Bukowski for my taste but good in parts.

 

[El Jefe]

His stuff at the end, yes.

I have a CD of the lecture if you want a copy

Heroin is a very Christian drug, although Berlin is hardly a Christian town. Now I'm off to look at girls in bikinis.

 

[The Groke]

I have a CD of the lecture if you want a copy

That would be most appreciated!

I was actually just trawling the torrents and such and was unable to find it...the CD itself seems to be going for a song in some parts! Presume it is deleted...

 

[mack]

You might want to get hold of a copy of the soundtracks he's been doing recently - "The Proposition" and "The Assassination Of Jesse James" both good and if you get into the whole man behind the music thing try reading his novel "And the ass saw the angel" It's quite a "difficult" read - but it's got some great moments in it, lots of religious stuff too.

 

[kyser_soze]

The Proposition (which he also wrote the script of IIRC) is an awesome film all round...seriously bleak stuff tho...

 

[belboid]

he wrote a script for a sequel to Gladiator too, which I'm kinda glad never got made, despite the brilliance (and it really is) of thee Proposition.

 

[sojourner]

I have a CD of the lecture if you want a copy

Could I possibly have a copy as well, please? Will pay postage and even send blank if required

 

[danny la rouge]

I have to say though Kyser, it's so obviously Christian music, I'm surprised a materialist such as yourself can get into it, heh.

Biblican themes doesn't mean it's Christian.

Ah. I see this has been covered.

 

[belboid]

shhh, dont say that, you'll shatter all his illusions. It's not as if the bible borrowed any of it's themes from other religions or belief systems

 

[belboid]

hmm, is a Biblican like a publican?

 

[danny la rouge]

shhh, dont say that, you'll shatter all his illusions. It's not as if the bible borrowed any of it's themes from other religions or belief systems

I'll keep schtum.

 

[danny la rouge]

hmm, is a Biblican like a publican?

No, it's more like a pelican.

What is wrong with me?

 

[kyser_soze]

Does that mean a Muslim would be a Koranican?

 

[sojourner]

No, it's more like a pelican.

You know what, I was gonna post that, and thought 'Nahhh...I'm already derailing enough today'

 

[danny la rouge]

Does that mean a Muslim would be a Koranican?

Val Koranican is a singing Mullah. He did "Abdul Mujaahid's Goat".

 

[belboid]

No, it's more like a pelican.

that might explain something about where he got all those fish from...

 

[kyser_soze]

Your saying that Jebus employed some kind of influence over beasts to achieven the so-called 'miracle' of feeding the 5000?

 

[danny la rouge]

that might explain something about where he got all those fish from...

"I am the regurgitation, and the life: he that standeth near me, though he were washed, yet shall he be reeking of fish vomit for weeks"

 

[belboid]

there is no mention, in that book, of the mass outbreak of botulism that occured shortly afterwards.

Messiah? there was a mess alright....

 

[ViolentPanda]

Cave is a christian, and describes himself as such. He's not especially denominational, has his own (quite Calvinist) take on it all and is a thoughtful believer, but he IS a believer.

Dwyer should perhaps read "And the Ass saw the Angel" to get a firmer grip on Cave's brand of no-nonsense Christianity.
