sundog said:...I'm just sitting here waiting for the know-it-all Amanda Palmer3 and her Nettlica trash to chime in with their "expert" takes on Nick Cave's songwriting. I'm especially waiting for Amanda Palmer3 to send Cave a formal letter of protest demanding he stop photographing him altogether..

$undokane, quit trying to flex those numbers with that passive-aggressive attitude. Based on the old-school standards set by a certain grumpy individual, you don't even fit in with our crowd to begin with.😉

Just keep pushing your ego, like Sisyphus grinding his way up Mount Veneris and beyond, until your font size finally grows large enough to actually qualify for some other montage.😛

And regarding Nettlica—she’s never once acted like a true connoisseur of Cave, not even a little bit. Quite the opposite; she’s spent her time using those sharp little jabs to undermine the very icons that quietdriver and I have been working tirelessly to uphold!

Now, why don't you go ahead and crop out that face of yours—the one looking like a character from a Kusturica film—from all those photos of your failed attempts at greatness...

Terry Johnson5 said:Look, I was just quoting Amanda Palmer3. There is absolutely no way those words are coming out of my mouth.🙂

And what are the odds of them actually getting in there?😛 😂

Jose Patel2 said::blinkblinksmilesmile:

She's here.

aha 😁

well, then he might actually like her... 😉

..depends on whether you're some racialized dominatrix who actually knows how to inflict pain 😳

Jose Patel2 said:Yeah, he sounded incredible at the show in Chicago (that second night performance)

So you and I just showed up to suffer?! Is that it?! Huh?! 😠

quietdriver3 said:Dammit... I just can't get out of this one... I already gave my word to 😢

And honestly, we should definitely bring Nettlica along 😍 I just have no clue what her schedule looks like right now 😁

Whatever, actually, I feel like I'm gonna flake too :/ Got some stuff I need to touch up tomorrow 🙄

Besides, it’s not even worth it if you don't have a ticket 😁

We'll just figure out the setup once and for all 😉

But we're picking up Nettlica ourselves!

..I know where she lives 😈

quietdriver3 said:some of you, who weren't even at this last show, are basically kicking people while they're down😢

I'm seriously about to cry😢

hand over heart, I've already pretty much given up on him🙂 😁

who's coming with me this Saturday to see 'Woven hand' in Austin??! 😉

it's part of the Coachella lineup, free entry, we just need to make it through the USA borders..

look, I'll drive all the way up north, then we can grab a drink for Austin, then we hit the city! then I'll catch some early morning train to Alabama😁

we can even hit up Nettlica! 😍

quietdriver3 said:you get the exact same symptoms listening to ringe-ringe-raja by those kids from the local daycare, so I'm guessing you aren't just listening to them at home until you pass out before coming here to brag about it on the forum 🙂 🙂 🙂

🤣 🤣 🤣 you kinky faq ! 😁

heh, couldn't help myself—I just had to picture quietdriver3 as some dark, brooding guy panicking and quickening his pace, trying to hide an unbearable tension under his khakis after hearing the siren call of ringe-ringe-raja drifting from a nearby playground 😁 😛

..during one of his daily walks past the park.

as for everything else, I sincerely respect the funeral arguments 😉

quietdriver3 said:I mean, seriously... 🙄 this doesn't even make sense... what is that thing even about?? lentils 😕

smoke from a dumpster fire? 🤣

quietdriver3 said:Quote : Pygmalion 🙂

🙂

quietdriver3 said:then Darker with The day showed up, and I think it paired perfectly with Plain Gold ring, Good Good day

Mufich! Don't talk nonsense! 😛

screw all those days 😁 For me, Good Good day is one of his absolute dumbest tracks, and Darker with The day is just an ugly little sister to a few von Trappov songs from that same record—not to mention the masterpiece by Boatman'a..
as for Plain Gold ring, it isn't even really his style, so it doesn't count🙂

hmm, strange 😕 personally, I find watching Alice better than any of these daily tracks of yours (except for the PGR version)
The genius of Alice isn't in some "showy" performance or lyrical "depth," but precisely in its simplicity and that perfect synergy of tempo, (lack of) dynamics, and the way his voice hits. It creates such a kinky atmosphere that you end up feeling this weird mix of excitement and shame, like you're actually part of that voyeuristic, creepy confession.

quietdriver3 said:and Christina is such a brilliant track that I wore out one part of Henry's Dream skipping through it, so I feel like Henry's Dream is actually two albums... Henry's and dream😁

😂

for me, Christina always took me back to the era of clanking armor and galloping hooves😁

Maybe they aren't actually overrated so much as they just aggressively forced themselves into being the default standards for acting skill.

But honestly, I immediately start thinking about those old detective shows I love binge-watching instead...

The heavy hitters from their generation; Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Rutger Hauer, Bruno Ganz, Jeremy Irons

The legends from the older crowd; Paul Newman, Lee Marvin, Marlon Brando, Richard Burton

And the slightly younger icons; Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey

From this duo, maybe Al Pacino actually makes the cut, mostly because of his eyes and the fact that he usually picks more dignified roles—though, let's be real, he starred in that absolute disaster 'Gigli,' which is enough to discredit him for the rest of his life.😁

Rename this thread to "Sophia's Choice" 😁

CJ thanks for the connection 😉

I think this thread is strictly for people who just sneezed and accidentally blew a fine layer of dust off the exquisite weave of Cave's bespoke, deathly suit—where, amidst his deadly (not)serious lyrics, you can only just catch a glimpse of the abyss hiding behind those wide nostrils and the vampiric paleness of his timeless opus.

Anyway, back to the topic; if he actually had to haul nitroglycerin in a truck with Cuban plates across a bridge over the river in Hawaii...
..he’d do it while blasting "Do You Love Me" (part one) 🙂

p.s. I'm back 🙂

Kevin Chavez3 said:He better show his face. 🙂

Why don't you just give me your email address? I've got a certain photo I'd love to send your way. 😉

Melissa Collins41 said:dressed in black... though my shirt was actually white 🤔 god, I should've worn my black raincoat

haha 😂 maybe I just lost my mind 🤔 because everything looked pitch black to me that day, especially after spending the whole afternoon out in the "wilderness" tearing up trails on my dirt bike 🙄

Melissa Collins41 said:we ended up buying coffee for the homeless guys this morning

🤣 I picked up some unknown, Karl Marx, and that little green 'Hello' alien guy! 😍

Melissa Collins41 said:but man, what a shame we didn't realize sooner 😢

yeah 😢

well, hopefully there'll be more madness to come 😉

Melissa Collins41 said:Oh man!! Yeah, I ended up sticking around to keep Ana company because she was totally losing it over the rain... Stress was there with us too, except for those ten minutes when she ran off to get soaked at Mad Sin... and right then, I think Dinsdale was getting caught in it somewhere else too. 🤣

We all missed each other by just ten minutes.

Dammit! I should've been a little more careful about sketching out my black outfits. 😳

Now you guys are all cheated out of a Free Badge for the forum users. 😢 😁

Kevin Chavez3 said:thanks Pygmalion for the gifts

I'm on it😍

And if you want to talk about getting laid, you should come over to my place—I’ve got a massive stack of unused vouchers just sitting here. 😵

BTW, I heard you finally graduated!?! 😁

Haha, how are you gonna keep hating on the establishment once you're actually part of it? 😛

Melissa Collins41 said:Man, I was under some pink umbrella near those flowers or hearts or whatever, right by that booth selling badges, tees, and stickers 🙂 I asked the girl running the stand if she had a pass or a wristband for anyone? There was this girl with long, straight black hair and really pretty lips 🙂

Oh, yes, YES, absolutely! 😂

That was just Gal and me, trying to find a ticket for smooth-talking Ned, who was hanging out 😁
We had just arrived...

Melissa Collins41 said:Then maybe you saw me and Dinsdale gossiping about ya:arana 😁 I was wearing an mnm wrong shirt 🙂

Nope. 😢 I didn't catch you guys. 😢
Wait, we actually "kicked" some girls out from under the tent while we were sorting through the stickers—were you guys among them?!? 😁

Laura Roberts61 said:I heard the gear totally crapped out, so the DJs were stuck playing off just one turntable😁and nobody even bothered to complain😁

By the time the main acts finally got their turn, it seems like nobody was "capable" of speaking up anymore😁

I am... defeated!🙂

On Saturday, I didn't roll in until about 10:30 PM, right in the middle of all that lightning and thunder 😎 and spent some time keeping a low profile under a pink umbrella 😳

Too bad I didn't run into Kevin Chavez again so I could brag to him in the rain about my laminated Calexico Wrong this one's for u np cards 😁

Calexico Wrong this one's for u 😉

np - Chris Isaak : Graduation day 😛

Stress said:A massive merch booth filled with badges, t-shirts, hats,

And standing right behind that "massive" stand? "Big" and The Wizard of Oz! 🙂 🤣

So, here are my latest impressions and fascinations...

I have to point out that the Department of Finance is clearly turning into a bigger circus year after year. And just to be clear, I’m not trying to romanticize the whole circus concept here—so don't go looking for any negative undertones. Ugh, I'm overcomplicating things already...
Anyway, the highlight of the night: I got to meet Stress and Kevin Chavez!!! 🙂 (With a little help from the perceptive guidance and hope of Galatea, who used to hang out on these forums back in the day) ...who, as I type this, are probably sleeping somewhere in the cargo hold of some shady time machine (presumably together 😁 ). My take? Stress has the kind of smile that could light up an invention by Thomas Edison, and Kevin Chavez is so mild-mannered, blissful, and likable that he needs to be stripped of his moderator status immediately. As he is, he can't project any actual authority or deal with the unpleasant haters 🙂 Although he did demonstrate a certain level of annoying consistency and integrity by making fun of my Nick Cave badges! 🙂 Damn that Jam! 😛
But, I'll forgive his "exclusivity" because he was smiling so brightly, subconsciously gravitating toward my charismatic, charitable presence 🙂
Aside from Stress and Kevin Chavez at the Department of Finance, there was also the ballet troupe The Ramones performing their stage-experimental cantata
My only regret is that despite all of Wrong's "detailed" descriptions, I didn't manage to catch Crew Jane 😢

This one's for Stress and Mr. Crooked-nose...

np - Buzzcocks ; Ever Fallen in Love 😉

Can someone please just take me along to Cleveland with some good company?😛
