Nick Cave fans?


I've become a huge fan of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds during the past year or so. He is so eclectic, ranging from the punk-laden angst and rage of "Murder Ballads" to the darkly humorous (and sometimes tender) songs on "The Boatman's Call."

Any other aficionados out there? Favorites? Best shows?

The version of "Helpless" is on a tribute disc called " The Bridge", a tribute to Neil Young.
Has anybody seen the video of Nick Cave and Shane Mcgowan singing a duet of "What a Wonderful World"?
Phasecorrect,
The film to which you are refering is the Wim Wenders directed "Wings of Desire." This film was later remade in the US as "City of Angels," starring Nicolas Cage. Alas, Nick Cave was apparently not invited to do a cameo in the Hollywood remake.
Hi guys

If you want an additional recommendation, check out a UK band called Cousteau.

They have two albums out - their self titled debut and their second, 'Sirena'.

They have been favourably compared to Scott Walker and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

I've taken the liberty of copying the amazon review for you...

Cousteau is not the first or last bunch of young men to have lit upon Scott Walker's epically lachrymose solo albums as a design for living. However, very few other bands have trudged in Walker's weary footsteps with quite this much poise. Cousteau is possessed of a confidence rare in debut albums, and the really good news is that Cousteau is often nearly as great as Cousteau clearly think it is. Their stock-in-trade is the grand pop ballad, a form that has been sadly neglected as too many new groups have drifted towards irony to justify a fondness for strings, sweeping tunes, and heartfelt lyrical sentiment (The Divine Comedy, for example). The songs on this album (Cousteau) are, without exception, lovely--"The Last Good Day of the Year," indeed, is worthy of being sung by Glen Campbell--and Cousteau plays it resolutely straight, falling in behind the alternately soaring and swooping vocals of Liam McKahey with a versatility that would do either the Bad Seeds or Tindersticks proud. --Andrew Mueller

tweakgeek,
no, have not seen that video. Where can I get a copy? And did they record anything together?
