listening to nick cave
How has this guy managed to pump out so much fucking music over the last 30 years? I’ve never been a fan, but then he puts out a new record and I end up hearing it at the job and usually enjoy most of it. Maybe I gotta go out and but every goddamn Nick Cave record. Maybe I’m ready now.
It’s funny how that works when you get into an artist that has a long and winding catalog. Whenever I think of doing that I think of Bowie and how I went through this 6-month phase in college where I bought every Bowie album. I bought most of them at Nuggets in Kenmore Square for around $8-9 bucks each. They were used, but they were the Rykodisc reissues that included weird bonus tracks and I’m glad I bought them when I did. Suckers now buy them without the cool bonus tracks for the same fucking full line $18.99 at places like mine. I gotta push for a Bowie sale. Everyone needs to own every Bowie album because as we all know even the shitty ones have AT LEAST 2-3 great tracks. Seriously, even Pin Ups, even Black Tie White Noise, and especially the first Tin Machine album. At some point it became cool to shit on that album(probably the day it came out) because Bowie had the gall to form a band and call it something different then his name, but the truth is it is a SOLID album. Hella better then some of those wacky ass 90’s drum and bass albums if you ask me.
OK, I’m losing my train of thought. The fact of the matter is- I’m drinking my second beer at 3:30am listening to a bunch of new Nick Cave songs scroll through www.hypem.com and I’m deciding at the very least to buy the new Nick Cave album tomorrow. I have the Best of from a few years back to tide me over. Will I get the entire catalog? We’ll have to see about that.
