Hi Lizzytish,

I would recommend to you - as a newcomer to nick cave , to perhaps listen to Let Love In - released 1993.

Let me know what you think.

Howdy RR, "Yonder go Huck, minus pocket watch an' wallet gone, Skin shrink wraps his skeleton. No wonder he got thinner, wot with his cold 'n' skinny dinners! Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis, Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis O you remember the song ya used to sing-a-long Shifting the river-trade on that ol st...

PS - what's yer neck of the woods?

Hey RR The last time I saw Nick was in 1994 Lollapalooza tour - Previously I saw him in vancouver at a small club in 1988. He has certainly evolved as an artist over the years. I love his recent work as well as his old stuff with the BP. Beautiful to watch on stage and a very kind and generous perso...

Hi Rock Rose, I was raised on Birthday Party music in my punk years waaaay back...nobody could scream like Nick. I haven't read his novel, but I do have King Ink and King Ink II books of poetry. I can see why LC thinks highly of him. I was drawn to Nick about the same time as I discovered LC's writi...

brilliant.

No worries Kush, life would be dull if we all agreed on everything. And please, to clarify - I do not think that the "people" are evil, just the system has grown in such a way that it sort of precludes humanitarian behaviour - to a certain degree. Yes. Without Recording companies we would ...

Hi Christina the Astonishing, (I am a huge fan of Nick Cave) - Could I read your finished paper? I think it would be very interesting. I also have a friend and fellow poet who encountered LC on a bus in Calgary...he showed him an angst-ridden poem he had written , and LC very patiently read it, then...

I agree Kush, record compaies are a bit of a necesary evil in order for artists to get exposure, however the trend today towards independant releases - internet broadcasting etc...illuminate the frustration of artists everywhere who signed the "first deal" and will be in debt for the next ...

That was the summer of 1993

I remember seeing LC talking about recording companies: to paraphrase: When you are on top there is a limo waiting for you at the airport and champagne in your hotel room...but when your sales slide - you end up taking a cab from the airport and there may or may not be some cut flowers and a cheeseb...

Hi Ben,

I have to say I have read several of your works and you are a very clever and articulate creator.

I love the application of mathematics in music and language....it always has fascinated me.

Also - your sense of humour is very refreshing.

Thanks for the writing - I look forward to more.

I was going to say 42 - but I noticed JTS was reprimanded for this - and rightly so as it doesn't answer the question..... so I would have to say.... the meaning of life is like a toothbrush really really personal... some like hard bristles - some soft....some like ones that move and rotate - others...
