Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand

Hey Grefter-chu, which older Nick Cave album should I get? I really like Let Love In from what I've heard but if you think anything would be better then~

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #152 on:** February 21, 2012, 07:17:05 AM »

I needed a song with over .45 BPS (that's Booty Per Second, a statistical breakdown of how often a song references asses) so my only choice was Bass-N-Effect - Booty (the Booty Call), which clocks in at an astonishing .49 BPS.

I honestly just suggest working backwords through his catalogue until you start to dislike it. Tender Prey is a decent time jump if you feel like doing that, but you are around the point where I don't think you will see a huge jump in style (just slightly rougher songwriting and composition as he gets closer to his Birthday Party origins). I pretty much consider Red Right hand the pinnacle of that era of Nick Cave and Murder Ballads is the bridge between his earlier style and his newer more mellow stuff (not that he ever stops visiting his early dark themes and not that some of the themes in his mellow stuff wasn't ever touched on early in his solo career). So in short, yeah I would go with Let Love In and then just slowly keep working backwards like you have after filling in eclectic gaps.

Skrillex & The Doors - Breakn' a Sweat

Skrillex - Kyoto.

Alright I had thought there was nothing worth caring about on the Bangarang EP I picked up. On a relisten this track is not bad.

Chad Mitchell Trio - Friendly Neighborhood KKK

Another foreigner in the area tuned me into this group. If you like Tom Lehrer they're pretty great.

AWOLNATION - Not Your Fault

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #157 on:** February 21, 2012, 06:12:59 PM »

Well, I don't really like Murder Ballads, it's my least favorite of the four I've listened to, which is why I've gone forward instead of backwards for the most part. I'll try it though.

Allen Lande - Just a Dream

Grefter · « **Reply #159 on:** February 21, 2012, 09:56:52 PM »

Other ones aren't so obviously death related. Pretty much if like Red Right Hand then grag Let Love In.

Julia Stone - Where Does The Love Go?

The Black Keys - The Only One

I like The Black Keys well enough, but it feels like most of their songs are at least a minute too long and quite repetitive. Very little variation in the music from beginning to end and a little unexciting. Fine for non-active listening, not so great for active listening though.

Mythos - Icarus

Randomly heard this on Pandora, liked it enough to look up more stuff by the band. This is still the best one, but liking most of the rest of it too.

of Montreal - The Past is a Grotesque Animal

We want our film to be beautiful, not realistic.

of Montreal - Cato as a Pun

Probably my least favorite song on this album.

Really? Next you will be listening to Porcupine Tree. Not a direction I was expecting.

Tom Waits - Reeperbahn.

Mostly for scholarly purposes. Relistening to their albums, I can tell they may never really form an emotional connection here, but listening to Portishead has both artistic and historical merit.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Lyre of Orpheus

This song is so silly and chaotic.
