Tunes Tonight
Tonight I’m listening to some new music. First, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds latest release, Nocturama. I picked this one up on vinyl LP. On first listen, it’s pretty fabulous. Cave and the Seeds have mellowed considerably since his Birthday Party releases twenty years ago. The basic elements of Cave’s music haven’t changed — it’s just less … menacing. The review I read in the student newspaper is right when it says that this will appeal more to an older (25+) audience.
The other recent acquisition on the hi-fi tonight is A Hundred Days Off, the newish CD from Underworld. While I haven’t listened to Cave for a few years, Underworld has been a staple of mine the past five years or so. Where the last album, Beaucoup Fish, was a mixture of intense + relaxed tracks, this disc stays mellow and then builds up towards the end. If you really want to see Underworld in action, check out their incredible concert DVD, Everything Everything. 50,000 people all digging the same groove. Very cool.
