Wow, Blogger is...hideous now. Anyway, I'm on Tumblr now, if you missed the move: HERE. Nick, Blixa, Tom Waits, Joe Strummer, etc. :D

New Blogs of The Me
Okay. So. Apparently, I decided to move to a new blog in the nick of time because suddenly, blogger's interface looks like complete and utter SHITBALLS.
I haven't updated yet, but I will now be blogging sporadically about Nick, Tom Waits, Blixa, Joe Strummer, and others at:
http://xraystyles.wordpress.com
Trust me, WordPress is way better, and adding some other artists into the mix will ensure that I post at least more than twice a year.
I also am at http://xraystyles.tumblr.com, which will probably mostly be photos.
I will probably update the Tumblr more. In fact, I'm scanning another rare Blixa pic for there now.

Nipples and Such
I am in the process of trying to find a layout I enjoy for my new blog. It will focus on Nick, Tom Waits, The Clash, and just about every other artist I enjoy. It'll just be awesome because a.) Blogger is ugly as hell, and so I want to move to WordPress, and b.) I really want the ability to share Nick stuff, as well as EVERYTHING ELSE I love. :)
In the meantime, enjoy this image of Nick and Anita, which Laura capped from the Rowland S. Howard biopic, Autoluminescent.
I own this entire zine. Stick around, and I'll eventually post all the scans (including Neubauten):

Still planning on making another blog, but as a college student, not sure when. I feel bad for not updating, but in-between albums is kind of a blah time for news.
I really hope most of you already visit Cracked.com, as it's wittily written and amusing. Today, they posted an article about the top 6 movie sequels that never got made...
...and GUESS WHAT'S NUMBER ONE?!
I am amused.

New blog...thoughts?
I've gotten so many spam comments lately, grr.
Anyway, I've been thinking for awhile of moving this blog to WordPress. I just think blogs their are cleaner-looking and less messy. If I do decide to move, would you follow me over and still read my blog?
I'm also contemplating (for when things with NC are quiet and such) incorporating a few other artists into my blog. Namely, Neubauten and Tom Waits, but random artists I find that are somwhat Cave-like. Obviously you could just skip entries that weren't Cave-related if you wanted.
I think a fresh blog would be more likely to make me excited and post Cave goodies more often. Being a college student with sleep issues doesn't help me update, but a move to a new blog and being able to post other stuff I enjoy would make things more fun for me.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts and I will take them into consideration! :) This is absolutely NOT saying I am stopping a Cave blog, but wanting maybe to move and expand to have a few other artists to add content.

Read Write [Hand]
Our fellow Cave fan and all-around badass, Morgan, has contributed an essay to the following Nick Cave-related book.
From the e-book's site:
"Read Write [Hand] : A multi- disciplinary Nick Cave reader is a
provocative new e-collection of illustrated essays, accompanied
by illustrative online mixtapes, which interrogates Nick Cave’s
literary undertones and emphases, false-starts and fixations,
achievements and overall credentials..."
Seriously, it'll broaden your mind and make you perhaps view Cave in an even more literary manner. Reading it will make you (at least feel) smarter, more insightful, more witty, and more appreciative of The Cave. It's only £1. 99, so win-win, I say!

Did Nick Cave Get the 'Stache Book OR How I Confused Nick Cave
Because I am lame, I never got around to telling you guys this OVER A YEAR AGO. If you'll recall, last November 27th, I was able to hand Grinderbunny to Nick after a song. Grinderbunny has been keeping us all updated on his Facebook and Twitter. He's an odd bunny, that one.
Anyway, now that over a year has passed, I am relatively calm enough to inform you all that I was fortunate enough to meet Nick after the show. Basically, meeting him went like this:
MY HUSBAND: It's freezing. He is never coming out. Let's go.
ME: NO! I have to TRY to meet him so I can ask him about the moustache book*!
To summarize the encounter (I TYPED UP A SIXTY PAGE CONCERT "SUMMARY," so this is VERY truncated, haha), Martyn left right away, we met Warren, who was VERY nice and signed our set list, then Nick came out eventually and met the approximately 10 of us who were waiting (we didn't stick around for Jim, unfortunately, because we were freezing). He was very rushed, but very nice, as you'll see. I only spent about 90 seconds in his presence, and to give you all something to laugh at, here's basically how those 90 seconds went:
[I stand holding The Puppy Phenomenon picture stupidly as people rush to Nick; I tell myself, "GO OVER THERE, YOU IDIOT!"]
ME: I’m the girl who gave you the Grinderbunny.
NICK CAVE: Oh, yeah? What happened to that?
[EVERYONE TALKING TO NICK AT ONCE; I'M TOTALLY IN DREAM-MODE. I TRY TELLING HIM IT'S BY JIM'S DRUMS BUT EVERYONE IS TALKING AT ONCE.]
ME: I have to have you sign the cutest picture of you ever.
[NICK CAVE talks to various people while signing the puppy photo.]
ME: I have to ask you…did you ever get a book of girls with moustaches?
[NICK LOOKS AT ME...FURROWS HIS BROWS...AND LOOKS COMPLETELY CONFUSED. He basically made the >8-/ face at me. He looked both adorable and hilarious at the same time.]
NICK [sounding unsure and completely confused]: Noo..?
ME: Awwww, lame. [I SAID, "AWWW, LAME"...THAT IS LAME!]
NOTE: He may have, in fact, gotten the 'stache book and just been bloody confused. Like my friend Laura said, if the crowd of people weren't confusing enough, he may have been thinking I meant a published book, not some handmade thing. No matter.
[My husband apparently handed the set list we got to Nick to sign, but in my memory, Nick Cave just grabbed it from me automatically and signed it. I’ll trust my husband’s memory, though.]
PHOTO REMOVED, BUT IT WAS SNAGGING. I didn't want my face all over anymore. [I started arguing with myself about whether I should say what I really want to say or not…whether it will sound too creepy and decide I MEAN IT and I am NOT creepy (like some girl there who said the same thing and got a very curt "thanks" from Nick).]
ME: I love you so much.
NICK CAVE: Aw, that’s very sweet of you to say.
NOTE: I seriously debated telling him I love him ALL DAY. I did NOT want to sound stalkerish or creepy, but I figured I meant it in a genuine, "I love and appreciate you" way and HOPED he would know I meant it that way. He sounded so sincerely touched when he said, "aw, that's very sweet of you," that I know he got that I meant it in a genuine way. Plus, the fact that some random chick said it all lustily after I did and he just said, "thanks" in THE most curt way EVER reassures me that he could TELL I meant it. He meets wannabe groupies all the time, so he can tell the bloody difference. Anywho...
ME: Um…can we get a picture with you?
NICK CAVE: Yeah, yeah, alright. [NOTE: This only looks like an eyerolling statement in print; he said it really nicely, even though this whole time he is still creeping closer to leave.]
[My husband and I get on either side of Mr. Cave, I put my arm around him, and my husband takes the picture.]
[NICK CAVE goes to leave, almost to the vehicle, when my husband shows me the picture.]
WOW. AWESOME. I meet my fucking idol basically and I can almost recognize the outline of his head**. GREAT. FAAAAAANTASTIC. That’s one to show the kids. Oh, well, at least I met him at all.
NO WAIT, THE WORST HE CAN SAY IS NO, RIGHT?! I decide it’s true, the worst he can say is no, so I kind of poke/rub his back to calm him so he doesn't kill me. I mean, he's Nick Cave, and I was convinced he was about to curse me with the Glare of Cave and/or rip my heart out and stomp on it with his oh-so-pointy boots.
I timidly ask in a scared shitless voice, “Nick?” and he turns around and sees me standing there, and I want to cry and feel like SUCH A FUCKING JERK, but I start moving out of the way so he can say “no,” and leave.
However, when I say, “our flash didn’t go off…I’m so sorry…could we get another picture?” HE SAID, “it’s alright” AND PUT HIS ARM AROUND ME AND POSED AGAIN. THAT IS THE NICEST THING IN THE ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD. He could have said no…he was IN SUCH A RUSH. But he said yes.
NOTE: Yeah, he's not looking at the camera. He was talking to some guy and had already posed with me once. I was TERRIFIED asking for another picture. HE'S NICK CAVE. I thought he might, like, GLARE ME TO DEATH or something. But no...
*Okay, so if you all took part in the moustache book, you'll know what that's all about. I promised countless people that, if I did meet Nick, I would TRY to get the courage to ask him about it. Anyway...
**you can almost tell it's us here:
They (whoever "they" are) do say you shouldn't meet your idols. Luckily, I got the sweet Nick Cave. :)

Neubauten: A Brief Introduction
I know this isn't Nick, but dammit, Blixa is Nick-related (and I can post what I want)! It took me until this past year to finally become an Einsturzende Neubauten fan. I thought they were just WHITE NOISE before, and now they're one of my favorite bands EVER.
I am putting several Neubauten songs here that I think are less abrasive, more accessible, and helped warp me into become a full-fledged Neubautenite. I tried to go with non-live performances because they tend to be, shall I say, more experimental and harder to get into at first.
I dedicate this post to Laura.
01. "Weil Weil Weil," from Alles Wieder Offen, is the first song of EN's that clicked with me. I don't want your first listen of it to be some crappy live performance, so here's just the song.
02. "Yu-Gung (Futter Mein Ego)," from Halber Mensch. Second song of theirs I really loved, and the video is nature at its weirdest and most disturbingly beautiful.
03. "Stella Maris," from Ende Neu, with Meret Becker, is a gorgeous song, gorgeous video, AND has enough behatted Blixa for all you hat fetishists out there.
04. "Alles Wieder Offen," from Alles Wieder Offen. I could not even tell you why, other than it's just a great song, but I listen to this ALL. THE. TIME. When I walk particularly...and you should see me walking up or down steps to it. It's like some weird German Michael Jackson thing with a little Roger Rabbit thrown in.
05. "Prolog" and "Feurio!" from Haus der Luge. Haus der Luge, along with Alles Wieder Offen, is a great place to start. Alles is the least abrasive and is what made me a fan, and Haus is trademark Neubauten, but way easier on the ears than some of their stuff. A word of caution: DO NOT DO WHAT I DID AND START WITH KOLLAPS. You will hate it. Anyway...Even if you have no bloody clue what he's saying (EN's albums do come with English translations), you have to admit, this sounds fucking fantastic. And "Feurio!" is just...GAAAAAAAAH, SUCCUMB TO IT, MY MINIONS! Also, fear the Bargeld trying-not-to-be-a-mullet-but-ohhhhh-it-is-one-anyway!
06. "MoDiMiDoFrSaSo" from Fuenf Auf Der Nach Oben.... In case you forget your days of the week, or just want to hear a great song. Let it assail your ears, drive you insane, and make you looooove it.
07. "Z.N.S.," from Halber Mensch. Okay, now...this might fucking terrify you (it did me), but part of what made me succumb and become an EN fan was the following video. It's weird as hell...but mostly, I admit...it was The Beauty That Is Snapping Blixa Bargeld. I had NO IDEA what he used to look like, but until I saw this, he was permanently weird hat-wearing, "fluffy" Blixa. So...I was intrigued...
08. "Haus der Luge" from Haus der Luge. Seriously, this is a great album to start with, and just a fabulous album in general. Plus, the cover has a drawing of an ejaculating horse on it, so...hey. Freak out the folks!
BONUS: The song that made Laura a fan:
If you don't like Neubauten, I do understand. I never thought I would, but the above, along with the influence of Laura and my other friend, Colin, really made me appreciate the Blixster.
If nothing else, here is one of the songs from Blixa's other project, ANBB, in which he meows like a demonically possessed cat in heat. You're welcome.

54th Birthday, Moscow Style
HAPPY 54TH BIRTHDAY, MR. NICK CAVE! Thank you for all the art you contribute to the world, and for just being so badass. Hope your birthday was filled with glorious things and that you have many more!
Sorry these aren't embedded; my phone doesn't let me do so and I am too scatterbrained right now to get online. It would greatly be to your benefit, however, to watch this awesome Cave interview footage from 1998 (thanks to nightspell9 for uploading, and Laura for pointing these out to me). They are long and some chick talks over top a lot of it, but still amazing.
Also, nightspell9 has great concert footage uploaded you should all check out. AWESOME!

Nick Cave and...
Today, I present you all with a smorgasbord of songs/videos in which Mr. Cave is singing with someone else, or featured on another band's song. Enjoy, and thank you for all the youtube users (youtubers?) for sharing these videos!
(I know he's done songs with PJ Harvey, Kylie Minogue, and more with Anita Lane and Lydia Lunch, but as those are the ones most of us have already heard, I will leave those up to you to check out.)
Thank you to my dearest Stooges, Laura and Colin, for helping me with this list.
I can't embed Nick and UNKLE's "Money and Run," but if you've not seen it, it's a great song and video. You can check it out RIGHT HERE.
Also, I couldn't find "Free to Walk" with Debbie Harry on youtube, but the song's out there somewhere.

Hair Telegraph
To pick up the new Grinderman single, "Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man". I always buy through Mute's official website. Keep in mind, however, that for me here in the United States, it takes around a month to receive my order. That being said: worth the wait? I think so.

This is from the March 2001 Telegraph. I will assume I found it on Tumblr; if you know whose it is, let me know because it's LOVELY. Text from this article can be FOUND HERE.
Here is Nick with some awesome hair:
And here is Billy Corgan being a douche like always, and Nick being amusing:

She's Not There, But Heathen Child Is
First of all, Grinderman's "Heathen Child" has been nominated as song of the year HERE, so be sure to vote for them! You have to vote for each category, and I don't know most of the other artists, but anything for Grinderman to get more votes. :)
Also, if you haven't yet heard the AMAZING version of "She's Not There" that Nick did with Neko Case, it is FANTASTIC! I would embed it, but I'm on my phone. Here's the direct link: RIGHT HERE. You will all LOVE it.
I will scan some articles and pics for you all soon. Hope you are all well (I'm sick).

It's Like Christmas, Only in the Summer...and With More Cave, Less Jesus
A guy just sold me TWENTY ONE issues of NME for $40. Nineteen of them contain Mr. Cave in some way, so...some of that stuff will make its way into the blog.
THEY MAY TAKE AWHILE TO GO THROUGH:
I've already come across awesome pics I've never seen, and even *GASP!* (so far) one the Great Laura hasn't. Which...is pretty much like finding the meaning of life.
Courtesy of thesoulbreath, the song that made me a Cave fan immediately (it's the first track on the Best Of, so...that was all it took. Then I realized that album was totally unnecessary, since I wanted to go out and get all his albums right away):
I. Love. Tumblr. And I love people on Tumblr who share stuff and credit where they got it. It is a goldmine of awesome photos.

Because Nick and Blixa are friends and all, I just want to post three Neubauten songs that got me into them finally. Enjoy.
The Alles Wieder Offen album did it for me; it's less abrasively experimental than their other stuff, so maybe you should give it a listen as well?
