Nick Cave and The Dirty Three

Nick Cave is the Tom Waits of Australia.

This is his latest album.

"Grinderman."

There are some shrill sounds on this disc, so be careful.

Cave is a prolific artist. Like Waits, he's also involved in cinema. His screenplay for THE PROPOSITION is exquisite.

Now ridiculously raucous, now intensely lyrical--Cave is a songwriter of myriad moods.

Check out "No Pussy Blues." This is an intellectually rigorous approach to noise rock.

Loud is better.

Nightmare Catcher #4

Futilitarians of the world, unite!

On second thought, why bother?

I was reading Gustav Bergmann the other day and came across the word, "futilitarianism." What a great word--which he uses as a synonym for nihilism. The simple placement of an innocent "f" and utilitarian becomes futilitarian. The magical mystery of meaning.

Speaking of mysteries, what could be going on in Alberto Gonzales' "mind?" Obviously he should have resigned rather than undergo the public embarrassment of his "testimony" before the Senate.

Bush, of course, thought he performed splendidly.

What dirty secrets Alberto must be privy to, having been at Bush's side for so long.

John McCain sang "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran." That's witty. Maybe he's working on a really funny quip about the Virginia Tech massacre, too.

So it goes.

Also, on a whim, we got a ridiculous plate.

A half block down 6th.

Published in 1895.

Easter Day in Butte.

It was a Serbian Orthodox Easter for us.

Drove to Butte and went to church.

A beautiful day with hints of acid flashback.

Today's picture from the 'hood.

Jester's Bar, directly acoss the street.

Pump up the volume.

Here's the blurbs I've been blogging about.
