@Apocryphiliac the dream!!
@Kungfupussy Indeed, fellow Nick Cave fan!
@Apocryphiliac isn't he ace. I met him once and he hasn't a dick so that was a lovely result
@Kungfupussy Hahaha. I am going to assume you meant that he wasn’t a dick. 😂 But yeah, he’s amazing. His music really got me through some hard times.
I shared this here a while ago. It stuck with me. I hope you enjoy it if you haven’t already seen it: https://www.openculture.com/2022/07/benedict-cumberbatch-reads-nick-caves-beautiful-letter-about-grief.html
@Apocryphiliac I mean I could use the edit feature but you got what I meant :) He was nice.
@Kungfupussy Haha. I usually wouldn’t mention a typo but that one I couldn’t resist.
@Apocryphiliac I followed the bad seeds on west coast tour in 2014 and bumped into him and the band (sans Woz) at the Portland airport. I hung out with them again a few years later at The Greek but I've seen them a shitload of times. Love my fellow Victorian.
@Kungfupussy Holy crap. Now I’m extremely jealous. I’ve never seen them. Never had the opportunity when I had the money, and when I conceivably had the money, not the opportunity. I know he’s still got “it” though. I’m hoping I can catch them next time around.
@Apocryphiliac I'm really lucky and have a bunch of set lists and posters and things too. I hope you get the chance to see them! I'm not religious but oddly enough a NCATBS show feels like church.
@Kungfupussy Yeah, I could definitely see that.
@Kungfupussy I just saw this article: https://americansongwriter.com/nick-cave-to-begin-writing-a-new-album/
Btw, have you read his new memoir yet?
@Apocryphiliac that's exciting news! You know whats terrible? I have it both as the book and on audiobook and I haven't listened to it yet. You?
@Kungfupussy that article actually just reminded me of it and I went to check to see that he reads it himself on audio… since he does, I really feel like I have to buy it immediately, lol. But I am gonna wait a bit bc I’m not doing so well financially at the moment. Soon though, it’ll be mine. Looking forward to it with great relish.
P.S., somehow this is two totally unrelated comments on CoSo in a row I’ve made about audiobooks. 😂
@Kungfupussy Probably. Especially during the Tender Prey era when he was struggling with heroin addiction, I guess. He’s been through a lot, though. I am not surprised, but nonetheless glad to hear that he was nice to you. When was this, anyway?
