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 actually prefer City of Angels

Noooooo!!!!!!! Not even the presence of Andre Braugher could convince me to watch that. Never, never, never. (It's like the Vanishing Point remake with Viggo Mortensen. I love Viggo, but I'd rather stick hot pokers in my eyes.)

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. ;-)
