As goth as Caves music. You may enjoy it.

I look forward to these revues.

The book kicks so much ass
It's just so visually rich in language, it's brilliant.

^Maybe I'll check that book out sometime.

^ That there's the first truly great album Nick Cave released with the Bad Seeds in my opinion. Knockin' On Joe, Tupelo, Wanted Man, Black Crow King - so many solid songs on it.

I just want to apologize for not meeting my deadlines, and to tell anyone who is interested that I'll be taking about a week off from reviewing any albums until next Monday, and maybe even the computer in general. School just has to be a higher priority then the computer and music (at least for a week), as addicting as it is.

I really hate not following through though, it's so against me.

I had a friend who worshiped Nick Cave (and, more peripherally, the Bad Seeds I suppose) as an angsty teen. She had posters of him all over her room; even had something approaching a shrine for him in one corner, candles and all. I must confess that the music never really grabbed me, although I could see what the affinity towards such an "alternative" figure would consist in. "Australian Goth" would seem to be an oxymoron, but he inhabits this designation admirably, especially considering that mainstream Australian culture seems to be so monolingual/homogenous/stifling/white. (Apologies in advance to any Australians out there: I am indeed an outsider, so what do I know? Agreed, although I did qualify my statement with "seems".)

Australian Goth? Hardly seems the gothic type, and isn't normally qualified as such (The Bad Seeds I am talking about of course)

Have you ever visited Australia? Just wondering, no malice...

I don't really care about the image... And I am guessing most fans don't. It's about the music, the image just lends itself to that.

Nick cave is excellent, my personal favourite would have to be Henry's Dream although Murder Ballads is also very good. I have a lot of his albums solo, with The Bad Seeds, and also The Birthday Party.
You should check out The Birthday Party they were his first group from around the post-punk era. They are very weird though and dark as **** (but hey its Nick Cave we're talking about here)

The Bad Seeds>Grinderman>>>Birthday Party...

Grinderman are phenomenal for the one album they've release

Top Cave albums are
Let Love In
Tender Prey
The Boatman's Call
Henry's Dream

Though I fucking loathe the fact that this thread is in this section of the forum....

I fell in love with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds while I was watching one of my favorite films, Wings of Desire. They performed From Her To Eternity in the movie and it was just aces in my book.

I hear that the remasters for From Her To Eternity and Your Funeral...My Trial will be released next month. I don't know what happened to those albums after I moved, so I can't wait to buy them again next month.
