“She sat down at the piano, took the gum she was chewing out
of her mouth and stuck it onto the Steinway, and glared at the pieno like it was her enemy and just thundered into the song.”

CAVE THEN
CAVE NOW
I wonder when NICK CAVE is at home for dinner. If he’s not in the studio,
he’s on tour. Lately, he played some gigs with long-time buddy Warren Ellis,
did a string of spoken word performances, last year he took the Bad Seeds
on the road to promote new, grand, orchestral album Wild God.
And just now he announced he will visit Europe
assisted by Radiohead‘s bassist Colin Greenwood.
Here are the dates.

Nicholas Edward Cave was born on 22 September 1957 in Warracknabeal, Victoria,
Australia. Happy 67 to one of the most gripping singer-songwriters of all time.

Directed by Ian White, MUTINY IN HEAVEN (named after the BP’s song of the same name) is the story of THE BIRTHDAY PARTY ’s ascent, apex and inevitable collapse, a thrilling tale of epic struggle, artistic genius and total dysfunctionality. Told in the group’s own words, Mutiny In Heaven brings the band’s story to the screen for the first time.
“It’s a twisted tale of ascent, realisation and implosion whilst dealing with issues of
artistic muse, creativity, addiction, fame, interpersonal conflict and the unique relationship between creative vision and self-destruction – all underpinned by the dark, wry humour of the individual band members.
Utilising exclusive, incredibly candid interviews, a wealth of rare and unseen archives, original artwork, unreleased tracks, studio footage, animation and multimedia content, the film is as visually rich as it is narratively riveting, a revealing look back at its key members’ origins, dreams, hopes and motivations.”
Between 1977-1983 they released 4 albums, one under
the name of The Boys Next Door and 3 as The BP.

A special collectors edition double-disc DVD of Mutiny In Heaven
featuring 100 minutes of extra interviews with Mick Harvey, Henry
Rollins, Thurston Moore, Phill Calvert, Paul Goldman, Chris Haskett,
David Yow and more is available now. Order HERE (for unknown reasons the DVD is not available to the US/Canada).
Pitchfork says: “The new documentary of Cave’s early band the Birthday Party
is a thunderous post-punk time capsule. ‘Mutiny in Heaven’ chronicles the mayhem
surrounding the misunderstood group, whose music was marked by both seething
fury and wide-eyed earnestness.”

ROY ORBISON (23 April 1936 – 6 December 1988), one of the greatest voices ever,
topped the US Single Charts with his haunting masterstroke RUNNING SCARED
on 5 June 1961, today 63 years ago.
The song’s musical structure was, obviously, inspired by Ravel‘s classical piece de résistance Bolero. It sold more than 1 million copies worldwide. Peaked at #9
in the UK.
