The little-documentary-that-could The Story Of Anvil, about the band that was like a "real life Spinal Tap" right down to having a drummer named Robb Reiner, stole everyone's heart this past year. Except for people whose hearts are made of... CONTINUE READING U2, NICK CAVE (BUT NOT ANVIL) AMONG OSCAR HOPEFULS»

Karin Dreijer's take on Nick Cave, Anita Lane, and, really, Blixa Bargeld's "Stranger Than Kindness" has graduated from that limited-edition tour 7" to a spot on the second disc of the new Fever Ray Deluxe Edition. You'll find her Vashti... CONTINUE READING NEW FEVER RAY VIDEO - "STRANGER THAN KINDNESS"»

When we posted the video for Fever Ray's "Seven," I included a stream of her (and Van Rivers and The Subliminal Kid's) take on Vashti Bunyan's "Here Before." As mentioned then, it shows up on a two-song tour 7" along... CONTINUE READING FEVER RAY COVERS NICK CAVE»

For someone as musical as Jimmy Fallon, it's surprising he doesn't seem moved one way or another by his (fairly awesome) musical bookings. The most you get out of the guy when he walks over to congratulate his guests is... CONTINUE READING ARCTIC MONKEYS BRING "CRYING LIGHTNING" TO FALLON»

The new Marianne Faithfull -- her 22nd album in all, if you're counting -- will feature a number of guests, including Chan Marshall, Anthony Hegarty, Sean Lennon, Keith Richards, Teddy Thompson, and Rufus Wainwright.

Alan Vega and Martin Rev, aka dark lo-fi electro-duo Suicide, were amazing in their heyday, especially when you consider they formed in 1971, pre-dating and influencing a shit-load of post-punk, noise, no wave, synth-pop, and industrial acts that followed. (If... CONTINUE READING SPRINGSTEEN, LIARS, SPIRITUALIZED, GRINDERMAN, AND OTHERS COVER SUICIDE»

A couple days ago we saw Nick Cave going through his "Night Of The Lotus Eaters" and then yesterday heard Phosphorescent covering one of his oldies.

We enjoyed it mightily when Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, added his "Little Boxes" to the Weeds canon. He also does something worth the while with Nick Cave's "Right Now I'm A-Roaming." Houck's hushed rendition removes the swagger of the original,... CONTINUE READING PHOSPHORESCENT COVERS NICK CAVE»

Nick can pull of a mustache like nobody's business (except maybe Angus Andrew's business). In the Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard-directed video for "Night Of The Lotus Eaters," we see Cave dramatically lit (and misted) delivering the song's words, the...

Nick's both exercising and exorcising in the clip for the excellent title track from the forthcoming new one, faux-strolling gloriously through the shadows, spitting some cheek and brimstone from under a fantastic moustache.

Nick Cave received plenty of well-deserved accolades for Grinderman in '07 -- ah, that creepy mustache, that creepier monkey -- and '08 shows no let-up.

Nick Cave's in sleazy, self-sermonizing mode on this cut from Grinderman's March-released record, and the video's intermixed footage of copulating kids and copulating, err, National Geographic stars fits the song's violent dynamics to perfection. Gotta love the Grinderman, but hey... CONTINUE READING NEW GRINDERMAN VIDEO - "NO PUSSY BLUES"»
