Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - Nick Cave
Not got Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! yet, but just checked out the page on Amazon.com and there's a neat little video for the Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! single.
Got to admit, Nick Cave looks almost caricatured - like some kind of South American game show host, or a balding relative of Saddam Hussein - a far cry from his washed-up junkie look a few years back. A bit tongue in cheek, perhaps? Still, the video gives anyone not familiar with Nick Cave that indeed here is someone a bit different, and the chorus sounds good. Listening to some of the samples of other tracks on Amazon, though, it does sound like this could be a potentially weak album - over the past few years Nick Cave has been a bit his and miss at times. Anyway, if Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! sounds a bit weak for you, then do try out Grinderman, Nick Cave's solo project away from the Bad Seeds which was released earlier this year - and is absolutely brilliant. The inside cover pic says it all - here are a few washed up angry middle aged men just having a drugged up jam in someone's basement. I mean, serious, "No pussy blues"? Great album. ![]() Either way, if you've never heard any Nick Cave then try some - he is an especially brilliant lyricist, and his earlier albums (with the Bad Seeds, and The Birthday Party) absolutely bear this out.
