Nick reads a story from David Eagleman's book, Sum. Brian Eno and some other people read parts from it also.
"In one afterlife, you relive all your experiences in carefully categorized groups: sleeping 30 years straight, sitting five months on the toilet, spending 200 days in the shower, and so forth. In another, you can be whatever you want, including a horse that forgets its original humanity. There are afterlives where you meet God, in one a God who endlessly reads Frankenstein, lamenting the tragic lot of creators; in another a God, female this time, in whose immense corpus earth is a mere cell. Eagleman’s engaging mixture of dark humor, witty quips, and unsettling observations about the human psyche should engage a readership extending from New Age buffs to amateur philosophers. --Carl Hays"
You can download the extract of Nick reading the story, which Caroline was kind enough to edit so there aren't any ads, here:

Caroline also found THIS news item in which Mr. Cave states, "We’ve recorded a new Grinderman record we’re really excited about. It comes out in March. And I’ll make another Bad Seeds record later on in the year." Woohoo! Thank you, Caroline!
There are also chapter extracts to read HERE.
Thank you to i_am_a_wallet on the nick-cave.com forums for the heads-up!

on audible.co.uk (the link you posted) you need an address in Emgland (and an english credit card) to get the audiobook. :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the extract from the audiobook is also on iTunes :)
I can’t use the audiobook because I don’t have an iPhone or iPod, but I converted it in mp3 and removed the ads :P

Woohoo! Thank you so much! Edited the post to reflect the awesome news item, as well as the mp3. You rock my blog more than *I* do. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Caroline & Devin/Andrea.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm NOT the Beth who keeps commenting on Fixes.
Haha, I need to pick Devin or Andrea to stick with. Devin's my pen name, and Andrea's my real name. I just forget where I type which, my bad. :D
ReplyDeleteThere are two Beths around? EGADS!
Oh, and thank you again for the fix, Caroline!
Cool, he got a great voice.
