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):

Grinderman Retrospective Pictorial Confetti

Because, at least for now, Grinderman are no more...some of my favorites.

Grinderman 1:








Grinderman 2:


by Polly Borland











P.S. Still hilarious:

Halloween, Birthday Party Style

Happy Halloween, everyone!





From tumblr, unsure who.

B&W Portrait

I will scan stuff this week; yeesh, I've been slacking. For now, here is a great Nick photo, but I can't remember who the photographer is. If you know, please tell me!

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:

Summer, Hurry Up!

How this term at college has made me feel:

(Pic from tumblr somewhere.)

This whole concert the performance below is from made me fall in love with Cave's music all over again, and it actually made me cry...and it's not easy to get me to cry. Thi



And for something completely different:


Thanks to thesoulbreath, as always, for sharing such amazing videos!

As of next Thursday, it will be summer break for me, and you know what that means? MORE UPDATES!

P.S.
I am obsessed with E. Neubauten now. I KNOW, complete 180 from how I used to be, but now I can't get enough of them. Blixa is a fucking genius.

Swamped in Swampland

Swamped (ha! SWAMPLAND!) with chemistry, so here are two pics. I can't recall where I got these, so if they are from your Tumblr or something, let me know and I will link to you. (Yes, I give things embarrassing file names...and forget to change them when I go to upload; whoops.)

Oh, and if you are a Blixa fan and don't have Seele Brennt bookmarked or blogrolled, get with it! Much thanks to them for helping this new E.N. fan succumb to the greatness that is Blixa.

Smudge Opening & NYT Style

Two things. First of all, by now, I'm assuming most of you know about Polly Borland's latest book, Smudge. If not, refer to my previous post. Anyway, I found a site with some photos from the opening of the Smudge showing at the Other Criteria gallery in London.


Nick and Polly Borland

The next bit of news is that there is a rather dashing photo of Mr. Cave in the latest issue of The New York Times Style magazine. Apparently there are two covers, because mine has THIS AS MY COVER, so just know that it has the same picture of Nick inside that the Nick cover version does. The BETTER version (possibly the international version), features Nick himself on the cover looking very much like, well, himself. The inside photo of him is included in a series of male rockers, such as Iggy Pop, Dave Gahan, Lou Reed, and others, all wearing suits.

Polly Borland's Smudge

Get ready to be confused and amused...and possibly terrified.

Laura sent me an email containing the following bit of news. Said email was called, quite intriguingly, "WHAT THE NICK CAVE FUCKING HELL?!" Laura is very well-spoken, I assure you.

ANYWAY, photographer Polly Borland has a new book (out NOW!) entitled Smudge. This book contains a number of portraits of people in amorphous leotards/full body nylon/etc. Random ping pong balls are stuffed down their leotards, wigs are utilized to hide the identities of those posing, and it is just bizarre. Nick wrote the introduction to the book (which is VERY amusing and involves him once again talking about "rouged nipples" and just making the whole weird thing sound strangely sexy) AND...

Well, guess who posed for some of the pictures? THESE ARE ALL NICK.







This has been your "NICK CAVE WTF" of the year. LINK TO read about the book (though Amazon.co.uk is cheaper).

New Year's 2011

If reposting, please say you got them from me, just to link-share. I don't own the copyright, but it's nice to link exchange, and I see my stuff reposted on Tumblr all the time. I will link back to YOU! :D

For New Year's 2011, I give you some amazingly epic scans from a '96 issue of OOR magazine. :DDDD







And bonus pics I found online:

Two Random Pics

Mickey Mouse

The lovely Caroline found this and sent it my way, so much thanks to her. There are more photos on the site in this little slideshow type thing. I missed that the first time.

Grinderman...proving once more that they are cooler than you.


Came from the link below, which includes a pretty awesome interview with the band.
LINK

Compelling, really...

(Will post something of substance soon, but for now...just a reminder...)

THE POWER OF 'STACHE COMPELS YOU!!!

New(ish?) B&W Portraits

I do not remember where I found these, sadly.

Oh, and Laura, who I love, just pointed out this great video interview:
TADA! Thank you, and you are awesome in an epic way. :D

Photo of the Moment? Pretty much. :-)

I don't want to detract visitors away from the photographer, so...

I found an amazing portrait of Nick, and it's HUGE, and definitely worth checking out.

Go here: Geoff Johnson's Gallery. Hover over the bottom left of the screen, where the four squares are. Click the Nick Cave thumbnail.

TADA! Gloriousness. :D

Nick, a Bunny, and a Bigass Man Purse

Found HERE by the ever-lovely, ever-great Caroline (thank you!), I give you...Mr. Cave...holding a bunny...and a really big man purse. Sure to make you either go, "awww, how adorable!" or run for the hills. Either way - hurrah!

The site says the bunny's name is Fluffy.

Pics are bloody huge.

Only a true badass rocks a bunny.


No idea why he's shirtless in this one. A part of me
wonders if it was his idea or if the person taking the
photo was like, "eh, Mr. Cave...half naked?" Creepy.


I can't help detecting a faint air of menace behind
that smile.

Video Request?

I have a favor to ask of you all. None of the "save youtube videos" type websites are working for me. Could one of you upload, to some megaupload/yousendit/etc., the "Heathen Child" video? Preferably in .avi format, but .mpeg is okay too? (.flv if nothing else)

Would totally be grateful.

Nick Cave says, "please?"

(pic gets huge when you click it)


I see...a Gladiator outfit and leopard print undies in my future!

Gladiator and Pokemon in the Old West

How did I not see this one? Must make gifs.

To quote myself on youtube after seeing this, "Oh my god...so amazing. It's like Gladiator and Pokemon by way of the old west."



Grinderman are so delightfully strange.

I've probably posted this before, but come on...

Puppet in the Hands of a Demented Puppeteer

Nick Cave Fixes has some very, very exciting news. :D

Again, do let me know if you are interested in doing another birthday project for Mr. Cave. The response seemed fairly...non-existent, which is fine if you don't want to. I'd just like to know either way.

I have ideas about things to post, but for now, I'm going to share these.

Scan from Laura, the Great and Glorious. :D This is great because it's an article about The Boys Next Door. Laura, you are amazing. Thank you so much for letting me share this! HUUUUUGE scan, so click and enjoy!



And here's a great portrait by Olaf Heine:

Bearded Magnet

Many of you have seen these, I'm assuming, but my current intoxicated state thought, "DEAR GOD! THE BEARD! MUST SCAN AND UPLOAD!"

I know the scans aren't as good as they could be. The last thing is, like, upside down or backwards or something. I'm drunk...what do you expect?

NOTE: THIS BLOG DOES NOT CONDONE DRINKING. BUT IT REALLY does.

From...some issue of Magnet magazine (Sept/Oct 2001). Enjoy the beard!
