Crane Game Cave

I just realized that, for those following this blog on the LJ feed, you won't be able to tell when I change the "Photo of the Moment," which is on the right-side of the blog. So I will post it within entries when I do so.

I call this one "THAT IS AMAZING":

My Nick Cave Concert Experience

You can view my crappily handwritten journal entries, comments, and photos from the concert I went to at the link below. There are a couple photos at the end I did not take, but feature me looking like I am a crying American Idol fan. I wasn't crying, but it looks like I was.

To advance through the pages (there are three pages of photos in all), click the "next page" link at the upper right. Read the comments with each photo, because they are amazing. Oh, and a.) click each thumbnail, b.) click the bigger picture to view even bigger.

I apologize to Mr. Cave for some of the less-than-great photos. I know you actually look great - I just have bad timing and caught you at some odd moments.

My Nick Cave Concert Experience : complete with witty comments ahoy! Or, you can CLICK HERE and then just click "next picture" to go through all the concert pics, minus the journal entries. The comments are below each photo.

Tori's Pubes

Many of you have read this before, but Jesus...it's fucking classic/amusing to me right now, so (as Mr. Cave says) "there ya go" (anyone else notice he says that after really lame questions sometimes? "There ya go..."

Anyway...

Interviewer: 'What about Tori Amos. You said the "twinkling cunt" line in Green Eyes [also on The Boatman's Call] was about her sewing sequins into her pubic hair. I bet she wasn't flattered by that.'

Nick: 'That's simply not true. It keeps getting repeated in the press, but it's not true.'

Interviewer: 'It's here in this music magazine from 1997. The journalist asks, "You have first-hand experience of this?' and you say, "Yes."'

Nick: 'I lied. I start to lie when things get really tedious. Anyway, I met Tori in the lobby of a hotel once afterwards. She seemed a lovely girl. She didn't send any letters of complaint. I think even if it were true it's kind of flattering. I mean, how sweet. What a sweet thing to do...to sit there and sew sequins into your pubic hair.'

Marianne Faithfull's New Album

(Oh, come on. You know why I had to use this photo of her.)

Marianne Faithfull's newest album, Easy Come, Easy Go, is slated to hit U.S. stores March 17th. This will be her 22nd album, and it features many guest vocalists. Chan Marshall (the lovely Cat Power), Sean Lennon, Keith Richards, Rufus Wainwright...

And our very own Mr. Nick Cave. Yep, Nick and Marianne are back after their collaboration on Marianne's Before the Poison album. This time, they are taking on The Decemberists' "The Crane Wife 3".

You can read more about Marianne's newest album HERE.

MOJO Awards - Backstage

At 1:25 or thereabouts, Nick makes a priceless look as Amy Winehouse walks by. Haha! I love him. I'd probably do the same thing.

View the video here.

Here's an interview with him backstage at the MOJO awards. He's so cute, smiling about John Fogerty.
