Amazing artist. I love all of his 3/4 time gallows tunes.

He looks like Alejandro Jodorowsky circa The Holy Mountain now.

Has anyone else read his book "And the Ass Saw An Angel"?

Not me. But FWIW, he has another book, novel I think, coming out in December. Out of Scotland's Canongate Press.

No. Have you? If so, how is it?

Nick Cave, a god among men.

I have And The Ass, but haven't read it yet. Rollins' publishing house is pitiful though, they really do need to hire a proofreader. Obvious spelling errors ON THE COVER of the book is just unacceptable.

I tried very hard to look like him when I was 18. and spent a ridiculous amount of time tracking down the "Rye Whiskey" flexi that came with some zine in the 80s. My first ebay purchase. I still love that song.

I really, really recommend this book.

It took two seperate readings of the ATASTA to get Cave's intent with the story. I bought the book back when I was 17 or so and between missing some of the underlying themes present (I hadn't had that much of a grasp of Cave's music at that time either) and the pheonetic the narration and dialouge was I just didn't take to it at first.

I eventually went back and reread it about two years ago. I am glad I did because I took a lot more away from it the second time around.

I'll definitely be checking out The Death of Bunny Munro at the end of the year.

I actually managed to pull off the Nick Cave look in high school, 12 years ago. But, I do have his frame and hair, so it was rather easy. When I saw him on the cover of Tender Prey I was like yeah, this is what I need to look like lol

Any Birthday Party fans in here? Deep in the woods might be one of the msot raging punk tracks of all times.

I thought this thread was about Nick Cage for a moment.
