Grinderman is Nick Cave's new band, it's the best thing he's done in ages.  "Chain of Flowers" sounds like a Velvet Underground outtake.  Really good stuff.

The monkey on the cover looks like he's in pain, poor little sod, holding his groin area.


Is it more like The Birthday Party, or Bad Seeds stuff, or completely different, you know, like with pastel drawings of flowers, rabbits, and fawns on the cover and Nick doing John Denver songs with a chamber quartet?.............


The last Nick Cave record I really liked was Murder Ballads.  I listened to The Boatman's Call, I think, the one after it, and it didn't really grab me like Murder Ballads did.  I liked it better t5han anything since Henry's Dream.   I'll see if I can get my buddy at Hyde & Zeke Records to play it for me next time I'm in there.

Someone turned me on to Prayers on Fire not long before I got put into "the program." I hate to mention that here, but it was (unfortunately) part of my life. Sometime during 5th phase, I purchased a copy of that album from that record store in Silver Spring; I had been impressed enough by what I heard years ago to buy it then.

When I copped out and just reached DC, whose pouty mug did I see staring at me from the front of an LP in that record store in Georgetown but 'ole blue eyes' himself. It was the Bad Seeds new release, From Her to Eternity. Of course I didn't buy it because I was still working on my (failed) attempt at getting up to Baltimore and the hell out of DC.

I always liked The Birthday Party.

It's probably more like Bad Seeds, not really much like Birthday Party.  "Get It On" is a great song, it should be all over the radio but the world ain't perfect.  "No Pussy Blues" speaks for itself, I guess.

It's really loose with a lot of fuzz bass going on, and Nick on Noise Guitar.  I was told it's Nick, anyway.

Murder Ballads is one of my all-time favorites, which could be seen as sick, I guess.  I've worked up a mean version of "Stagger Lee", though, all nasty with an even nastier riff.

Oh yeah, his version of "Stagger Lee" is the shit.......wicked powerful.  I like "Red Right Hand" on than one, and I still think it's funny Kylie Minogue does backing vox on the album.

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

I'll bet this is great! I love Blind Faith; they take me back to my early 20's.
The Allmans are always cool, too...

Hot Fucking Tuna!!!!!!

Hot Tuna--Fillmore Auditorium, 12-30-1988 (early and late shows) on Wolfgang's Vault

I attended both of these shows, and they fucking shredded!  Good to hear such high-quality recordings of what were two of the best sets I've ever seen those guys play, and I've seen them about twenty times.  Awe inspiring.

Must've been pretty cool to hear something on there that you actually attended! Can't say I've had a similar experence other than hearing recordings of shows I've played, but those were all in fairly small clubs, churches, etc.

Witnessed live at the Rickshaw Stop, SF:

Tango La Melodia
Sweet Crude Bill and the Lighthouse Nautical Society


Both are amazing.

www.sweetcrudebill.com

BUY THE EP! These guys need strings for their geetars.

Not sure if Tango has a myspace page or a website.

I hear Paul Westerberg is drinking again.  My step son saw him play a year or so ago and said he was sloppy drunk.  It was probably like a one man Replacement show.
