It’s with great disappointment that I have to say that the Dig! Lazarus Dig! is just not working for me, neither is the cheesy mustache. Still … it’s Nick Cave and you don’t just dismiss a legend because of a greasy strip of hair living on his lip. Despite the album distaste, the feel of this album, the videos and his appearance point to the heavy possibility that he’ll be playing a lot of the older stuff live.

Case in point, the BBC has three videos plus an interview for your audio visual pleasure. One of them is a performance of Tupelo from The Firstborn is Dead. To tell you the truth, it makes me a little regretful that I passed on tickets for the show this year because the live show is amazing. It’s the kind of show you never want to end and when it’s over you stay around for every bit of encore. Sigh.
