If you don't know, find out.

only thing i've heard from this dude was the cover of "Loverman" which Metallica did...which i also enjoyed.

Dig it.

"Boatmans Call" for the win. Also the collection is pretty rad. I am not one of those fans that digs every song, but the ones i do i fucking love. I really like the sappy stuff and everyones fav. "Murder Ballads" i am not a big fan of.

big fan

you seen The Proposition yet, Dave?

Yeah I'm also a massive fan
I think there are very few Nick Cave songs you could really call sappy...Boatman's Call is terrific. In the end, Murder Ballads is actually probably one of my least favorites. Anybody get the Grinderman cd he put out last year? Pretty cool

appreciated.

I'd hit it.

also an author...

Aaron of MDB wrote the Raven and the Rose inspired by his book "And the Ass Saw the Angel".

cant find it anywhere though.

It was back in '32 when times were hard
He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
Stagger Lee
He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat
Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
Stagger Lee
His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
And told him, "Never ever come back no more"
Stagger Lee
So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud
Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
Stagger Lee
He said "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am"
The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn"
To Stagger Lee
He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see
I'm that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
Mr. Stagger Lee
Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way
And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day"
Mr Stagger Lee
Well those were the last words that the barkeep said
'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head
Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown
Was known to make more money than any bitch in town
She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
With Stagger Lee
She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"
Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the motherfucker's head"
She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time.
Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"
Mr. Stagger Lee
"But there's something I have to say before you begin
You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
Mr. Stagger Lee"
"I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass
And furthermore I'll fuck Billy in his motherfucking ass"
Said Stagger Lee
"I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know
And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's asshole"
Said Stagger Lee
Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be
That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
Stagger Lee
"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
And suck my dick, because If you don't you're gonna be dead"
Said Stagger Lee
Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head
And Stag filled him full of lead
Oh yeah.

I've got King Ink and King Ink 2, but I have yet to stumble across a copy of that one either. I think I'm going to just suck it up and get that and all the Bill Shields stuff that I'm missing on Amazon or something.

I recently got called a faggot by some douchebag for saying that I like Nick Cave.

*shrugs*

I like Nick Cave

I like Murder Ballads quite a bit but I also like the dirtier garage stuff. I thought that Grinderman was awesome. I still haven't heard any of the stuff he did with The Birthday party.

this guy is pretty much a god

I cant find his books anywhere, sucks, they're all out of print


any of you watch the movie The Proposition?
he wrote it
and its holy shit, amazing, its beautiful in a fucked up kind of way

The Proposition is totally fucking awesome.
I've actually been reading And the Ass Saw the Angel...personally I'm not really that hot on it, but maybe I just need to keep going. I'm surprised you guys can't find a copy, I feel like I just picked this copy up at a Borders or something
