Morning.
There are few surprises in my life.
Occasionally I am briefly surprised by my alarm's insistence that it is morning already, but this happens often enough now that it really shouldn't surprise me.

alright Tangers?
Have you heard that new Nick Cave stuff yet? I'm not that keen on his stuff after The Boatman's Call.

I'm expecting the new album to be delivered today.
Did you not like Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus?
I thought it was great.
I quite like the Grinderman stuff and all.

NO MUSIC CHAT.

YES EVERYONE PLEASE STICK TO THE TOPIC, WHICH IS THE NEVER-TEDIOUS 'WEATHER'

No, the topic is being surprised.
Now stop boring people about music and PAY ATTENTION.

To what?
If you stop the conversation, there is nothing to pay attention to.

The question.

He's 'meh'.

See, despite dozer's hip stance of preferring early stuff, I think he is one of those writers who has improved with age.
Plus the new LP has a naked lady on the cover, which in my experience of buying blind on second hand records means there will be a couple of great tunes on it.

I think his Grinderman stuff is way better than the Bad Seeds normal stuff,
and would indeed put him the Beastie Boys' 'actually improved with age' category in which there are virtually no acts other than them. Still, 'meh'. Being better than the Bad Seeds stuff is no great achievement.

mid-period
Not early stuff.

that's when his heaviest flow of music came out

I never got into it.
And I found Grinderman embarrassing. I think the utter shitness of Nocturama knocked me for six; that run of albums up until TBC was quite something.

He's nowehere near as good as people make out.
Plus: Australian.


I am more than happy to assist you in your misguided attempts to evaluate the world of music, for nothing more than the pleasure it gives me to tell you the stuff you like is shit. X
