Pitchfork Feature: Interview: Nick Cave

Everyone who knows me also knows that I’ve got an unhealthy fascination with all things Nick Cave. Every time iPronk shuffles to a Cave tune in the car (unless it’s “Bring It On” from 2003’s Nocturama), my poor, tortured wife quickly and plaintively protests, “Next!”

Now, compared to chain-smoking and binge-drinking, I hardly think my thing for The Bad Seeds is all that self destructive, but I can’t imagine life would be so much fun without any of it.

Pitchfork Feature: Interview: Nick Cave

“Grinderman was like a bomb going off within the Bad Seeds. It was like going back to the wife and telling her that you’d taken a mistress.”

Dear Sonni,

You make waking up early worthwhile and moving from Cleveland to Pittsburgh less crappy. Thank you. /TM

YouTube – The New Pornographers- Bleeding Heart Show

New Pornographers Fridays until April 12th. I know. I just posted three YouTube videos in a row and haven’t written anything original in weeks. I’m sorry, but sometimes you just want to sing “hey la” until the pain stops. When it does, I promise to write more.

YouTube – She Sends Kisses (Wrens)

I know I posted this before, but it’s the coolest video ever for the greatest song in the world … And until the rest of the world realizes the genius of Charles Bissell, I might keep posting it from time to time. So there. And yeah, he’s joining Okkervil River for the tour with the New Pornographers and I’m gonna be there April 12th. Suck it.

Sort of an internet primer. Absolutely hilarious. Via Mental Floss.

Say Hello To Our Little Friends – March 14, 2008

 So, you think I’m kidding when I say that nobody takes me seriously after being introduced by name …

Say Hello To Our Little Friends – March 14, 2008

Al Pacino has been nominated for eight Academy Awards, but took home his sole Oscar for a scenery-chewing role in 1992’s “Scent of a Woman.” Still, the 67-year-old actor is honored every day on U.S. streets by fans of his performances in “Carlito’s Way” and “Scarface.”
