Just dug up an old cassette tape. Yippee!

Man... any actual fans or haters of The Birthday Party out there?
Asking because that whole era of his... well, it’s pretty much been left in the dust...

You can bet your ass I’m a fan.
I even got Junkyard on vinyl somewhere...

into my eyes 😕

😁

"nobody's baby" - that's what just hit me at the exact right moment.

Jalle said:The only track I know by Nick Cave is that duet with Kylie, "Where the Wild Roses Grow," and honestly? It’s a masterpiece.

😱 😱 😱

Re: John Thomas2 🤣 😁😁😁

Jennifer's Veil is hands down my absolute favorite.

....And let her sail on the sea like a stone.
Don't touch and don't touch
And don't let the veil drop
Another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...

😳 🙏 😁

Then you've got Loverman, Mercy Seat, Christina—it’s endless. Honestly, asking me to pick just one is like asking a mother which of her kids she loves most. It's impossible. 😂

If I had to choose, though, I'd say Boatman's Call ( 🙄 ) is the winner for me. It’s unique. Nothing else sounds quite like it. 😁

Alex Scott22 said:Yeah... anyone here actually worship or hate The Birthday Party?
The reason I ask is because that whole era is... well, let's just say it's largely been forgotten...

The Birthday Party is a religion. If you haven't heard their live cover of "Fun House" featuring Foetus on the sax, you haven't lived. It’s one of those rare live performances where the crowd stays dead silent afterward. Not a single clap. Just pure silence. Incredible...🙏

😁 Seriously? 😁

Jane Doe said:Honestly, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for The Boatman's Call—it's easily one of my favorites, mostly because it didn't try to chase its own tail or pull a repeat act like that.

😲 😲

Just some girl from the Midwest! What an absolute joke of a prayer!

What's your problem, anyway?😁

I’m actually with you on that one. Honestly, that album is easily my favorite... It just lacks that raw energy, those primal screams, that heavy, rolling wall of sound we all crave...

To me, Nocturama is just a total mess.🤮

On the other hand, The Boatman's Call is genuinely beautiful—not a single dull moment. And Let Love In? Flawless from start to finish.

As for ExxonMobil on Bad Seed and Prayers... I still get chills. But let’s not forget the raw energy of Junkyard, either.🙂

He talks way too much about nothing 😢 but honestly, he’s just as cute as a blueberry, oh my god 👋

Wow, 🤣 🤣 🤣

Today is my absolute favorite kind of good day, but who knows about tomorrow?

See the little cloud up in the sky.
It's a good good day today.
See the little cloud pass on by.
It's a good good day today...

Why did the establishment shut him down? And why did they do it the first time? Because he's a one-of-a-kind patient. Those types are always welcome back in the system.😉

Quote: on vinyl.

me, I’ve got Boys Next Door on wax.

Seriously though, "favorite"... how does that work? Like, top 50 where they're all number one?

Terry Johnson5 said:I mean, seriously, a "favorite" list... can it really be a top 50 where every single one is number one?

Hey, why not? If you want to build it that way—go for it. Just follow your gut.👍

😁

Darker with the Day holds a pretty special place in my collection, much like the entire No More Shall We Part album

Jane Doe 😁, I’ve been hearing some rather colorful rumors about Polly Jane being a total loose cannon 😲

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 🙂

"Papa won't leave you"... honestly, Henry was my absolute favorite thing from old Nick for a while there.

But then Darker with The day showed up, and I think along with Plain Gold ring and Good Good day, and then these ones here are probably the best stuff👍

though I see some people bringing up Alice and Christina 😲 😲

I don't really get you guys, I guess.

When I listen to Alice, I just end up yawning, maybe? 😲

But Christina is such a genius track for me that I actually wore out a section of Henry's Dream by skipping through it so much... so I have this feeling that Henry's Dream is basically two albums... Henry's and dream 😁 😁
