He was so fucking beautiful.

[barkhammer]

While I'm here, this looks like a must-watch...

While I'm here, this looks like a must-watch...

I caught this at the Melbourne International Film Festival a couple of weeks ago. Mick Harvey was there for the post-doco Q&A, and I can confirm that the film is fucking brilliant. I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to see it in a beautiful theatre (where the band itself once played), only minutes from St Kilda, Melbourne, where the group lived out so much of their history. An incredible night.

[Michalrose]

Yes! He had epic hair. He’s almost 66 now but I still love him. He is brilliant.

[muad'nin]

I do love his hair in those photos, absolutely. Some of the live footage from that era has him exercising an almost-controlled chaos that I find so seductive, too. He just gave himself over to the music, which I find so sexy.

While I'm here, this looks like a must-watch...

Finally watched this. Fantastic documentary. I'm pretty into Rowland S. Howard & there's plenty of good footage of him. Lost him way too young.

[imail724]

Some kind of announcement coming tomorrow. There's a countdown on nickcave.com with the text "Wild God".

[october_midnight]

Assuming it's a new single, though I'm sure we can all agree if it was new album, preorder, etc. that'd be better lol. Can't wait.

Well shit, lol. Preorders up!

[blitzkrieg]

I'm in love with Nick's music for a long time now.
This new track gave me mixed feelings. Happy to hear something punchier than latests (beautiful) Lp's, but... this single seems not very inspired at my first listen

[chuckrh]

Hope we get a proper Bad Seeds tour in the states for this.

[muad'nin]

Went to a Roland S. Howard tribute show here in Melbourne this week. Mick Harvey on drums, his brother Harry on bass, various guests… Was a great night in an intimate venue/theatre. Lots of folks there from back in the day, when TBP would play in St. Kilda regularly.

I’m so grateful to be in such close geographical proximity to Howard’s and the band’s history.

[muad'nin]

Saw NC with Colin Greenwood last night. For the first time in …decades(?) I was in tears throughout a show. Holy hell what a gig. Been an emotional wreck for the past 24 hours.

I’m sure this is old to most, but it’s new to me. And… sheesh!
