I cant understand the fascination with Nick Cave. He tries to present himself as a big band/alternative/dark poetic type, but his attempts are tragically pathetic. His lyrics are weak and simplistic and although he does have good musicians, there work is drowned out by his voice (or lack of) which is irritating. This is just my opinion and I am open to enlightenment but I would suggest you all go and listen to some Leonard Cohen and see how its really done.
