I Got a Pink Velvet Box from New Zealand!!!

Thanks to Jess, I got something very special in the mail this past week! I know I look ridiculous; ignore it. I said I would share with you all when it arrived, so here it is!

Part one:


Part two:

Bunny Video // Nick Cave's Computer Habits

A person working online press for Bunny Munro wanted me to share this link with you all (yeah, I was shocked someone like that knew about my blog). If you've been following the videos of Nick reading excerpts online, here is an exclusive video of him reading from Chapter 18!

And, to keep you entertained, here is another annoying video I made involving Mr. Cave using his computer.

Bad News

Bad news. I heard back from Canongate, and the limited edition of Bunny Munro can't be shipped to the US because of distribution rights (or lack thereof).

FUCK. :(

I'm trying to see if I can paypal some money to a NZ friend of mine, but looks like I won't be getting this more than likely. FUCKITY FUCK!

How Excited Are YOU?!

News about the limited edition of Bunny Munro!

The limited edition of Bunny Munro goes on sale next Tuesday, the 25th, at noon England time. Meaning, four a.m. for the United States:
LINK HERE

Only 500 copies, and each 100 copies, the price goes up by ten pounds. It starts at 80 pounds, which is $132.05. WHOA.

Also, in real small print, it says this about the limited edition Bunny Munro:
"Not for sale in the US, Canada or India". I am hoping this just means it has to ship to us from overseas. Can anyone confirm this is probably what that means?

Anyway, four a.m., I am on that site, pending my mom's willingness to give her soon-to-be 26-year-old daughter an early birthday gift. :D

In case you mixed it, the wonderfully kind Laura (*hugs*) shared some awesome Nick scans here:
SLICKED HAIR!

And does anyone have the full-size version of the pic of the moment?

Reading in Roundhouse - London

How badly do you need to see the lovely photos purplecatster took at Mr. Cave's reading at the Roundhouse in London? The one for Bunny Munro, which took place July 24th? Well...judging by the picture below, pretty farkin' badly. Also, he seems to have a coldsore. As someone currently suffering from one, I can empathize. :-/

Bunny Munro Trailer

I'd been holding off listening to and watching Nick's "trailer" for Bunny Munro. However, several people on the nick-cave.com forums told me it wouldn't ruin the anticipation for me. They were right - his reading is AMAZING, and I cannot WAIT for the book's release. Nick's voice, hand gestures, and facial expressions bring so much to what he's reading. I think it would be fan-fucking-tastic if he released an audio version of the book, even if it was only a select few readings (a la And the Ass...).

Most of you have seen this, I'm assuming. However, I wanted to make sure I had it here, just in case play.com (where the video is from) ever gets rid of it.

Death of Bunny Munro Covers

As most of you know, Nick's second novel, The Death of Bunny Munro, is scheduled to be released September 1st of this year. You can preorder here for only $16.32! And that's hardcover!

While checking Amazon today, I saw that a new cover (the first one with the drawn rabbit) had been uploaded. I'm not sure if they're both going to be used, or...? Anyway, I have to say, I like it much more than the other one, which I've also included here. The drawing just seems more Cave to me. What do you think?
