Nick Cave!

[przed]

We managed to score babysitting on Wednesday night so we could see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the Kool Haus. Cave was one of the things the Sweetie and I bonded over when we first met, and we never miss an opportunity to see him live.

The set Wednesday was a lot sloppier than usual--the Bad Seeds are usually an incredibly tight outfit, but Cave seems to have entered a phase where he's going for energy over finesse--but even so, it was a pretty darn powerful performance. (I still miss long-time Seed, Blixa Bargeld, though. Blixa left the band a few albums ago, much to my chagrin. Blixa and Nick on stage together was a wonderful, wonderful thing.)

Anyway, to celebrate, here's a link to Cave performing Red Right Hand at Glastonbury in 1998. It is possibly my favourite Cave song ever (I'd love to vid it, but the bastard is 6:30 long) but even better is the fact that I was in the audience for this performance. (Squint really hard and maybe you can see me and the Sweetie, over there, off to the left. *g*)

I know! I was shocked too. I had no interest in seeing that movie in theatres, as the original had soured me so much on the concept. But I adored Andre Braugher, and overall, for me, it had a much lighter feel. So--on an airplane anyway--I found it much more enjoyable.

You know if we were dating, I'd have to break up with you now. *g*

I did actually break up with a guy in high school because of his taste in music. He insisted on playing The Carpenters in his dad's car every time we went on a date. ::shudder::

That said, I'm much more tolerant these days. Which is a good thing, because for every movie/CD/book the Sweetie and I both adore, there's another we have completely opposite opinions of.

Hee! I'm giggling like an idiot.

All I can say is it's a good thing your sweetie found you first. ;-)
