Nick Cave
Finding new ways to be the Bad Seeds may be the band's ongoing mission, but Nick Cave and comrades have made the job look easy with the success of their 14th album, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! With a MOJO Award already under their belt – Best Album of 2008, beating out the likes of Radiohead and Robert Plant/Allison Kraus – and two Q Award nominations recently announced – Best Album and Best Live Act – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are preparing to show the U.S. what all the hoopla is all about. Their first tour of North America in five years begins shortly in San Diego CA, a warm-up of sorts before the Bad Seeds historic performance at the legendary Hollywood Bowl with support Cat Power and Spiritualized.

For their part, the critics have been nearly universal in their praise of Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! With a score of 87 on the reviews collating website Metacritic, Dig is fifth best-reviewed record of the year.

Going to see two of his British dates in November on account of the fact that my boyfriend is a huge fan.

I like him and am working through his back catalog to get familiar with it before I go. However I have to admit I am a bit scared of him, I'm told Stagger Lee live can be quite intimidating, I might take a cushion to hide my face behind :o

I've given the following albums a good listen - Henrys Dreams, Murder Ballads, Dig, Lazarus Dig!!! and Abbatoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus and advice on what to go for next would be much appreciated :)

Personally I like Nocturama :o
I recently bought Kicking Against The Pricks and The Boatman's Call which are both excellent albums (The former being a covers album, which has an amazing version of All Tomorrow's Parties on it)

I think No More Shall We Part is their best album, although it almost never gets mentioned. It is dreadfully over looked and I really can't recommend it enough - it will make you cry and it will make you laugh.

I saw them at the Apollo - brilliant show!
