Who knew Nick Cave was such a funny guy? Check out these lyrics from the upcoming Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus release, specifically “The Lyre of Orpheus”, “Easy Money” and, my current favorite song “There She Goes, My Beautiful World”. (It’s on the sampler in the new Paste magazine. Trust me, I have absolutely no connections whatsoever.) If you’ve ever had writer’s block, you’ll get a good laugh out of it, and the song rocks – The Bad Seeds are in fine form, with what sounds like a full-on gospel choir on the chorus. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.
Also looking forward to the new Tom Waits. I heard the tail end of “Make It Rain” on the radio today, and “Day After Tomorrow” last week. And then, of course, Smile has finally been released. I haven’t heard any of it yet, but how could I possibly say no?
*sigh*
I should probably just sign my next paycheck over to Sonic Boom.
I have it, if you want it.

Sure. Uh, which one are we talking about?
