Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

[The Groke]

Oddly there seems to be two versions of the album on TBP; One is as you would expect, the other is an exceedingly low bitrate and all the songs are 40 minutes+ long....


WTF??




I have both, but have not listened to the weird long one in it's entirety as it would take me half a day!

Don't know if this is weird, corrupt, repeating MP3's or whether these are leaked studio original versions, pre-editing or what.

They seem to be genuine long versions of the songs on first, brief investigation.

 

[Tank Girl]

The whole album is tedious!

If any ones interested he's supposed to be in lurking in Rough Trade on Monday 3rd.

radio 6 have just said he's playing at HMV oxford st tonight at 6pm.

 

[ethel]

bugger. i forgot about that. you had to get a wristband this morning

 

[Augie March]

Tis ace.

 

[danny la rouge]

It is very good, and very funky.

 

[Blagsta]

I'm not too sure...it's very close in feel to the Grinderman album, which isn't a bad thing, but I expected something a bit different.

 

[Pigeon]

I suspect in years to come, he'll be the one we look back on and go, "yeh, I always knew he was going to be a stayer"

TBF, 25 odd years ago I'd only have given him a couple of years to live, or at least expected a Johnny Thunders style protrated demise.

As it is, he's about the only person I can think of whose work I still enjoy as much as I did when I was 19, albeit for completely different reasons. He's actually aged gracefully, which is pretty fucking rare.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will announce single and tour news soon.

I've had it for a few weeks.

Not listened enough to have bonded with it yet.

Lyrical highlight for me so far is:

Our myxomatoid kids spraddle the streets
We've shunned them from the greasy-grind
The poor little things
They look so sad and old
As they mount us from behind
I ask them to desist and to refrain
Then we call upon the author to explain

Hurry Up Dole Money!

 

[Augie March]

Hurry Up Dole Money!

Is that one of his? I've not heard it, is it any good?

 

[pootle]

It's a bit good, eh?

Makes me want to do rude things to Sir Nicholas of Cave even more!

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

first impression is very impressed with it i must say. a proper good album, blues and beauty, grind and grit, and lyrics & a voice that you could listen to endlessly.

second listen is even better. damn fine music.

I've been singing the chorus to Today's Lesson all week.

We're gonna have a real cool time, tonight!
