It's my sister's birthday soon, and I'd like to get her some Nick Cave stuff - rare or in-the-shops - to celebrate the occasion, as she's an avid fan and has always been good to me. Any suggestions? |

Step 1: Find out what she's already got. Step 2 (optional): Let us know and ask us to recommend something else. Step 3: Buy something not discovered in step 1, and possibly named in step 2. |

there is a decent nick cave biography out.. |
||||||||
|

i'm looking for the more unusual stuff. she has an awful lot. i can't just ask her, like, it'd be very obvious, because she'd end up listing stuff for a minute or two |

unusual as in hard-to-find/get.. not unusual as in atonal madness |

Sneak a look and see what she's missing (check a discog to compare). There's likely to be something missing. That elusive release she's "never got round to getting". Alternatively scour torrent sites for decent bootlegs and make your own home made gift! If you find one called the boatman's call demos, don't bother with it. it's a bit poo. |

maybe birthday party albums would be the most difficukt ones to get.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or not..you can get those easily as well apperantly :D |
||||||||
|
|

i'm getting them as a present, not as music to listen to at this imaginary birthday party.. jesus, nick cave at a party.. it'd be very diffikult indeed |

i was thinking of the birthday party, his band before he got hooked up with bad seeds. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
oh yes, sorry, i only copped that now :) it's understandable, given the context of this thread.. but yeah, i just saw an album by the birthday party on oink, if you're interested. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have them on mp3s..when i have money i'll even pay for them :) |

I suppose she's got his books, either his novel "And the ass saw the angel" which is very nice, or there's the collected lyrics "King Ink" erm I and II. But tricky, if she's a fan, she most probably has them. I saw Nick Cave once, walking up.. what's the name of the road with the market in Notting Hill, my fucking brain has gone, and he was wearing a bright pink .. oh what's the name of those classic v-neck jumpers, a bit like something a golfer would wear... aaaggghhh PRINGLE SWEATER. So yeah, take that Goths. Maybe you could give her that annecdote as a gift? |

Didn't Blixa play in The Bad Seeds? This is a good excuse to give her Silence Is Sexy for example. |
||||||||

ha! I certainly will. It'll be delivered in a birthday card, no less.. I think she might have a book by him, but maybe not. And that would be novel (if you excuse the pun) present since i'm always getting the family gifts of music. |

It was back in '32 when times were hard He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards Stagger Lee. get "murder ballads", it's just great |

brilliant album, yeah <3 where the wild roses grow |

The first Birthday Party/Boys Next Door album is by far my favorite Cave joint, so manic. And since it's her birthday... boo-ya. |
||||||||

there's also a cd with him reading from "And the ass saw the angel" - I think that came out last year. |
