Just when I thought I couldn't love Nick Cave more... That was great!

Christ, that was glorious in so many ways my underkeks have exploded. I am wholly undone.

You don't know how seriously I think Nick Cave takes himself!

I wish my baths happened like that. Do I clean mine too often?

This is why I don't take baths.

Previously.

That is one hard to startle girl. I wonder what happens when she washes her car?

I think they spent the CGI budget on the guy who can pop his eyes out.

Magnificent... pure brilliance.

Eh. I prefer No Pussy Blues as a song and the 17 minute epic that is Babe, I'm On Fire as a video (part 1, part 2). Nick Cave doesn't have the greatest record when it comes to good music videos.

The first Grinderman album was recorded in a single session (or something approaching that) and you can tell: the songs are not great except for a few fantastic exceptions. Seems like the second one might have the same issues.

Mountain Goatse: “We aim to please, koeselitz.”

Heh.

For all those who're wondering what that meant, Mountain Goatse here is answering my whining snark from this fantastic 'previously' post about Mr Nick Cave.

Oh hey, it's the floating head guy from the Hot Chip video.

Wow Nick Cave doing his best to sound like Brian Ferry.

This is basically the perfect music video.

Eh. I prefer No Pussy Blues as a song

"This video is not available."

Wow, they nuked that quickly.

Is this the version with Robert fucking Fripp?

I don't care about any other version.

Love it. Been waiting for a second album... well, since the first, which was awesome.

I love Nick Cave, and I love Grinderman but... this video is just too silly for me. Also the song is disappointingly commercial. But thx for posting it - I always like to see what the great man has been up to. :)
