Murder Ballads

If Murder Ballads was anthropomorphic I would never stop hugging them.
Granted, Murder Ballads personified would probably be like a strange cross between ATG, Bennet the Sage, and ... I don't even know. Someone creepy and very musically talented and soothing and funny and Crosses the Line Twice.

So yeah, I downloaded the full CD from amazon.com ( Read more... )

I don't understand how I didn't get into them sooner ... in fact in seventh grade I remember the older kids listening to it and I kinda ... didn't like it. I love that my musical taste is maturing.

I might kinda sorta have 15 bootlegged concert recordings if you want them.
*SQUEE*
... Ahem, that is, yes, I am very interested in that.

Bask in the glory of your newfound master. Bask, and let his corruption wash over you in glorious ecstacy.
*basks* Nick Cave is too damn awesome. And UNF, that VOICE! The bits in O'Malley's Bar where he sounds like he's really getting off on all the murder ... yeah. *blushes*

Yes, there is a recording of Nick and Blixa singing "Where The Wild Roses Grow." There is even a video of them performing it live. There is a photo of one performance where they snogged during the song.I've seen two videos on youtube, including the one where they made out at the end ("SQUEE" does not begin to cover it. Hot dayum.) but is there an actual recording that I could put on my iPod floating around somewhere ( ... )

The video for "Bring it On" was awesome. It's a song about a garden and love … with sexy dancers shaking their asses at the camera! Gotta love satire like that.

You know what I'm realizing as I watch these videos? The camera doesn't just focus on Nick Cave, it checks in on the rest of the band too. That isn't seen in modern music videos much, which is wrong.

And just as a note outside wackiness or slashiness... I think the video for "Henry Lee" is the sexiest thing I have ever seen. Not the sexiest music video. The sexiest film clip in any genre, EVER. It absolutely blows me away how jaw-droppingly sexy it is just watching Nick and PJ Harvey do nothing but LOOK at each other or put one hand on a shoulder or do a slow, simple dance... the way they lean in close and sing with lips ALMOST touching skin, a tilt of the head that accentuate the throat or a gesture that doesn't QUITE finish where it clearly wants to... This video is the most pornographic thing I've ever seen, and both people in it are fully clothed in identical black ( ... )
