Nick Cave, still brutally cool after all these years

This just popped up on random and it reminded me of the first time I heard the album (Murder Ballads). I had picked up the album on a whim used at Cheapo. After listening to a few songs I ran into the living room where my roommate was at the time (who was more “music cool” than I was) and excitedly asked if all of Nick Cave‘s songs were about killing and other assorted, related unpleasant things.
He said, “yeah, pretty much.”
Obviously with a album title like Murder Ballads, well, murder is going to be a common topic, but the rule seems to hold true for a surprisingly high percentage of his body of work from The Birthday Present to Grinderman.
So, let’s all take a minute to remember how awesome Nick Cave is.
