(TrendHunter.com) We've seen a lot of artists and musicians for whom fame remains in the family, and 'The Good Son' in Rolling Stone Italia highlights model Jethro Cave as musician Nick Cave's son. Jethro Cave was photographed…
Since discovering the iPod I now rarely listen to whole albums while I paint as I just create play lists to suit my mood. But some albums just play well all the way through so I still use them in the studio. Here's Ten albums that have kept me company during the completion of a painting or two.. Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate Anything by Leonard is good to paint to though. Antony and the Johnsons...
An e-book shop will open on Dec. 1 for Australia —Read without Paper—and will sell both international and local authors. Supposedly prices will be comparable to those of U.S.-based stores: let’s see. The publicity says that “Over 110,000 Fiction & Non-Fiction Titles” will be be available, including books from “Stephanie Meyer, Dan Brown, James Patterson, [...]...
○○●●● CATCH-up caught up, it's back to the everyday hum drum of having unreleased new music sent to me for free. Ah well, mustn't grumble. Then again... Now perhaps unfairly, I made a dig at trans-atlantic trio Sparrow And The Workshop 's six-track 'mini-album' Sleight Of Hand for being neither here nor there - not short enough yet not long enough. But there can be no...

LARRY BEAU / I Dream Of Tiger Rose CD / Larry Beau Records / 2009 TOM WAITS is still the king of cabaret pop for me (with ANTONY and NICK CAVE close behind), but LARRY BEAU puts in a spirited effort to invigorate the genre here, with complex instrumentation that helps to keep it as interesting [...]
Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? I don't normally snack as I read. I might make a cup of coffee or have a glass of wine, depending on the time of day. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you? I haven't written in books so far, though I'm thinking about starting (in pencil, of course). It's becoming apparent how much
“The Road,” the highly anticipated and much-delayed adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel, aspires for greatness. And in many ways it succeeds, from its stunning visual design and sensitive performances to its overarching tone of mournful spiritual reckoning. With a surplus of post-apocalyptic/disaster flicks present in today’s film circle, the Road does what very few [...] Related...
It has been a long wait for fans of Lucky Soul who released their debut album The Great Unwanted, way back in 2007 to widespread critical acclaim, but the band have announced plans to release their second album A Coming Of Age in March 2010. The first single from the new album will be White Russian [...]
To be honest I feel a bit of a fraud writing this induction. I'm sure that every hip groovy person reading this will own a least one Nick Cave album, I don't. I do own this song, but only from iTunes. I can't even pretend to know all of his back catalogue and yet here I am writing the entry that will seal Mr Cave's place in Noughties by Nature. I bet you really wished that you wrote that e-mail now...
It may not be the Nobel Prize, but the competition for this year’s “Bad Sex in Fiction” award is just as stiff (cringe — pun intended). Philip Roth is on the Literary Review’s shortlist, and he’s in good company — current nominees include Amos Oz, Nick Cave, and John Banville, while past candidates include such [...] Related posts: Fiction Fix: Hugo Award Nominees...
Moderat, "Slow Match (feat. Paul St. Hilaire)" Judging from the play count on my laptop's music player, Moderat's record this year is well on its way to ranking as one of my favorites in 2009. Moderat is basically a...
