    In This Cave, A Demented Soul

    In this Cave lies a dark, disturbed, fly-blown husk the result of a sale, of the soul to one whom he wishes does not exist, yet weakly bows down to. Sacrifices made, he knelt on the Pew scrawled out the Ledger, lazy boys rolled We’re led, lied, to believe it’s art but an expensive suit…

  • PJ Harvey Covering Red Right Hand Is As Beautifully Fucked Up As You’d Expect

    PJ Harvey Covering Red Right Hand Is As Beautifully Fucked Up As You’d Expect

    You can always expect the unexpected from PJ Harvey, yet you can be assured that you’ll get something haunting, thought provoking, terrifying, uplifting, depressing, beautiful and genuinely raw thrown into the creative blender. To call this a ‘cover’ doesn’t really begin to justify the way she’s taken control of not only the narrative but the…

  • Snoop Dogg Covering Red Right Hand Is As Shit As You’d Expect

    Snoop Dogg Covering Red Right Hand Is As Shit As You’d Expect

     Where the washed-up woke rapper butchers the Nick Cave classic, dropping his usual Masonic symbolism bullshit left right and centre, while the archaic, festering, socialist shit-show BBC blithely describes the song as the “theme to Peaky Blinders“. Why hasn’t he been shot yet? Because you need your senses sterilised and order restored…

    Seuss X Cave X Faustus

    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…

  • The Duet That Created A Tempest

    The Duet That Created A Tempest

    To say there’s an air of excitement around the ChainSlap turntables right now would be a pretty large understatement. That we are going to witness live two of our all-time favourite artists within the space of a week seems at once both a dream and concurrently a little daunting. Will one overshadow the other? Or will the…

  • Return Of The Dark Master

    Return Of The Dark Master

    Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds are about to release their 16th studio album in September. With the tragic death of his son last year while Cave was working on the album, this will no doubt be a sombre and typically dark affair. Titled Skeleton Tree, it follows 2013’s Push The Sky Away. Work on it begun in…
