Nick Cave

This guy started putting out music almost 30 years ago and is still one of the few consistant crazy people out there. For me Mr. Cave is best described as part hellfire preacher, part Evlis (in strange Vegas mode) and part balladeer. His lyrics drench themselves in Biblical imagery and it is never clear whether he is trying to save souls or destroy them. He is backed by the Bad Seeds - a powerful band of misfits led by Mick Harvey (featuring Warren Ellis, also of the Dirty Three - more soul destruction). Thankyou Mr. Cave for making life interesting.
