Somewhere deep in a box of books, in a far-off garage, I’m sure I still have a copy of Yertle the Turtle tucked away, much like the memory of those stacked testudines trying to help Yertle reach the moon. Like man, he failed, but it made great entertainment for kids.

Nick Cave and Melbourne artist Dr. FaustusAU entertain adults in more sinister ways, so it only makes sense to throw Dr. Seuss into the Cave for a brilliantly dark rendering of the Bad Seeds’ song Red Right Hand. Sweet dreams.
