#2 of 10 after a disappointing Portishead: 3 listen (noddin went on a mail order CD binge).
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!
I'm exactly half-way through this disk and already I'm...er...digging it. Except for a track of NC that I have on the soundtrack for Until the End of the World, this disk is my only NC&TBS holding. I've heard a song here and there and always liked the sound but never had an album in my hands.
Well, this is a no regret purchase. You can listen and imagine yourself sitting in a authentic British pub, translocated to the heart of the western States (maybe Colorado). Good looking tarts with better than Brit teeth abound (or I suppose, secure, good looking guys who like to listen if you're into that sort of thing) but you don't care a bit cause the music is playing, you could get up and dance, but why, you have better things to talk about with your mates anyway, and the beer is a hell of a lot better than the swill that usually accompanies these visions on TV.
What's currently cracking me up is the liner note book. It's about 53 pages. Not a single picture, all text. Essentially just lyrics in normal type but something like triple spaced. Lyrics for a typical song run about 6+ pages. It's fitting. Kind of a well thought, well executed carelessness.
These guys sound like they're having fun, they know what their doing. They're serious but no so much you'd notice. They rock, they roll. No regrets.
