What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Clint feeling happy.

Next up Nick 'Dick' Cave with a new single which you'll like if you like him. The lead track 'More News from Nowhere' seems a bit tame to me at first but turns out to be a pleasant enough romp and what is known in the trade as a 'grower'. It kind of plods along like a man with a moustache fixin' a faithful old truck. If you want to buy one Australian record this week buy either this or the Robert Forster album from last week which is just stunning.

Nick Cave on More News From Nowhere:

This song has nothing to do with the classic work of utopian fiction (1890) by William Morris. A guy travels aimlessly and endlessly through a kind of horror house of past affairs trying unsuccessfully to get laid. What interests me most about More News From Nowhere is that quite possibly, although I can’t be completely sure, the central character is dead and his story is a just a kind of posthumous bad-trip, a death-trip, so to speak. What alerted me to this was the nifty line “Janet is known to make dead men groan”… All the usual suspects are there, and I won’t name them all, you can have fun at home working all that if you can be fucked, but suffice to say this is all an elaborate ruse, as after 8 minutes we are at the belated denouement…the terrible sense of vertigo we feel when we realise that each moment we live is rendered obsolete by the next…”technology and women and little children too”

THE CD FORMAT FEATURES NEW TRACK 'FLEETING LOVE', AND BRAND NEW VIDEO FOR THE UNRELEASED EXTENDED VERSION OF 'NIGHT OF THE LOTUS EATERS'
