Push The Sky Away – Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
The Skeleton Tree - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Distant Sky (Live In Copenhagen) EP – Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Well the Conversations With Nick Cave evening at Manchester Bridgewater Hall was rather special to say the least. Just Nick and a grand piano and lots of questions from the audience. Some of the questions were a bit...ermmm...but Nick gave some thoughtful replies and some flippant ones, too. In short though, he was never less than entertaining and often very funny with it. Musically, he played songs from various stages of his career*, opening with a lovely God Is In The House and followed by great versions of The Mercy Seat, The Ship Song, Into My Arms, Brompton Oratory, Love Letter, The Sorrowful Wife, Jubilee Street, Higgs Bosun Blues and many more. Highlight for me though would have to be his take on Bolan's Cosmic Dancer. I knew he had played this at some dates so I was hoping it would feature here, too. Not only that, he built it up nicely, bigging up Marc as a lyricist who created his own world and saying that Cosmic Dancer was his favourite song. Well you can imagine how much this T.Rex fan cheered! Anyway, it was a fabulous evening and I am looking forward to doing it all again this week in Liverpool.
*But not The Birthday Party-era - “I don't do Release The Bats!” he said after someone had shouted for it as the end of the evening drew near!!

Bushman’s Revenge – Et Håt Mot Overklassen. More Norwegian jazz/psych/whatever niceness, though this is noticeably both more bluesy and ambient than previous albums: https://bushmansrevenge.bandcamp.com/releases

Enablers – Zones. So, what if Slint had continued their trajectory from Spiderland? Might sound something like this. Unfortunately, I just can’t get with the spoken word that accompanies it… https://enablers.bandcamp.com/album/zones-2

Oceans Of The Moon – s/t. Noisy electro-garage from Oh Sees label. Good: https://soundcloud.com/castle-face-1/oceans-of-the-moon-borderline

Justin Hopper/Sharron Kraus/Belbury Poly – Chanctonbury Rings

Modern Nature – How To Live

Dommengang – No Keys

Caspar Brotzmann Massaker – Der Abend Der Schwarzen Folklore. Wow. Hadn’t heard this in a while, penned some words about it here many years ago… https://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/review/765/

Mort Garson – Mother Earth’s Plantasia. Just got a re-release – Moogy, library-ish stuff that sounds incredibly fresh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0vrsO3_HpU

Magma – Kohntarkosz

Moody Blues – In Search Of The Lost Chord

Pink Floyd – The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

The Deviants – Ptooff! / s/t (3)

Grateful Dead – Live/Dead

Sun Ra – Space Is The Place / Astro Black

VA – Kankyo Ongaku (Disc 1)

VA – Brown Acid – The Eight Trip

Live:

Ghost Box/Trunk Records Midsummer Happening, Shoreditch (where else?). This was a rather nice gathering (with free beer!), and The Soundcarriers, who had never made much impression on me before, turned in an absolutely revelatory set, Can-like in its intensity at times

Saw Nick Cave in Gateshead last night. Amazed at his candour, sensible and heartfelt answers to some very difficult questions and suitable witty answers to the stupid ones, one of the best shows I've seen in a while, and yes his cover of Cosmic Dancer was astounding

This week, in light of missing out on all of the recent legit reissues to plug the few holes in my collection, I've been mostly listening to Coil.

Coil - Ape Of Naples. The New Backwards, And The Ambulance Died In His Arms,
Timemachines, Scatology, Horse Rotorvator, Moons Milk Bonus Disc, and finally Gold Is The Metal. For any folk that don't own any of their albums, EP's, Rarities or Live releases etc... and would like to delve a little, you can download them for free from what I'm told is a semi legit source in just about whatever format you like, FLAC included, which is prbably where all the questionable boots being released are sourced at the minute (yes you Planet Claire Records!)... https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22coil+album%22

Thipaulsandra - The Lepore Extrusion
Timemachines-ish drone work that's almost as good as aforementioned album.
https://www.juno.co.uk/products/thighpaulsandra-the-lepore-extrusion/697581-01/

Fujiya Miyagi - Flashback
On first listen, not as accomplished as previous release, and sounding distinctly home recoreded-ish, but I do love these fellas, so will persevere.
https://fujiyamiyagi.bandcamp.com/album/flashback

Psychedelic Speed Freaks - S/T
This is fab. One time leader of High Rise puts together a Braindonor like power trio. Has he same raw energy as those Stooges bootlegs that used to turn up as legit records and fooled us (well me) into buying the same thing numerous times under some daft delusion that these versions were gonna be different. Luurve it! https://psychedelicspeedfreaks.bandcamp.com/

Endless Boogie - Vol:1 + 2
Boogie Onnnn....https://endlessboogie.bandcamp.com/album/vol-i-ii

Just notices a new Jane Weaver release, but that'll have to wait till pay day. Well, that's about it, keep well y'all.

Glad you enjoyed it, too.

Worst moment was when a fella with the mic didn't ask a question, but just said "Play some songs".

"Did you say play some song?"

Yes.

He's played some said someone in the audience.

"Play some more then" said the rude fella.

Nick stared at him. If looks could kill!

Quite right, too. It was so bloody rude.

The mic was handed to someone else.

"Just a quick one..." the other fella started.

"Take as long as you want", replied Nick pointedly, still giving daggers.
