[homeless mind]

If you like Dali, check out: Hieronymus Bosch - doing shit in the 1400s, spent some time in the can for it; the man who started surrealism before there was a term for it.

EY;

Welcome! You will find many fans of Nick Cave and Tom Waits here.

Best,
Bill

Greetings

If you like Nick Cave, check out the Birthday Party(good shite)

 

[bospress.net]

Birthday is really great. One of the things that I really like about listening to Nick cave is that you can start with Boys Next Door, to Birthday Party and to the Bad Seeds and see how he grew over those 30 years. He certainly did not let his style get stale. Hell, even the Jesus stuff is good, and I'm not in the least religious.

Bill

p.s. MUTINY is the best Birthday Party CD in my opinion...

 

[Billville]

Welcome EuropeYankee. You appear to have all around good taste. Somewhere around this forum is a thread about favorite guitarists. You might be interested.:cool:

 

[Magick Stallion]

Funny, I was about to recommend Boys Next Door!
I actually located a copy on vinyl awhile back for a decent price.

Mutiny would definitely be my favorite, as well, out of all Birthday albums.
With lyrics like this, you can't go wrong:

"Well, ah tied on...percht on mah bed ah was...
sticken a needle in mah arm...
Ah tied off! Fuckin' wings burst out mah back"

Bill, have you read "And The Ass Saw The Angel"?
If not, it is well worth the read!

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Welcome EU Yankee! The dog will be nice( you started this thread so you did good ) no nipping at your heels. I have never been to Austria but my Grandparents brought some great stuff back at the end of WWII. Maybe it was some of your inheritance. Sorry.

 

[kristarchy]

Reminds me of the Simpson's episode..."get a room funboy". Link Wray...one helluva guitar hero.

With lyrics like this, you can't go wrong:

Magic Stallion,

We are like brothers. Yes, those are the greatest lyrics. Nothing like being junksick to really inspire. That song is really disturbing with the wailing and all. Beautiful, really.

[This video is unavailable.]

Yes, I have read "And the Ass Saw the Angel" three times. It is a great book, but takes a bit to get used to as he writes with a southern accent. In short, it is the story of a Southern deaf mute named Eucrid Eucrow whose twin brother dies at birth and whose mother is an alcoholic prostitute. A most disturbing book. Well worth getting. it was out of print for a while, but is not back in print. I even heard that he was working on a new novel, so we'll see.

Bill

p.s. I know that this song may not be to everyone's taste. Then there is this [This video is unavailable.]

 

[EuropeYankee]

i know the birthday party...great sick shit...thats right you can choose from the heroine driven years of nick (boys next door until, i think, from her to eternety..., his tearjerking Boatman's call and then his grinderman project and now... mhh... i don't like Dig Lazarus Dig...
i also read the book in german, and english...mostly disgusting and disturbing... and this guy call bukowski a jerk???

@Gerard K H Love... thank you ;) want a cookie?

Cheers, EuropeYankee.

I'm from Salzburg too. People who like guitars and Bukowski are the ones I like.

You'll love it here. This place is a miracle.

 

[roni]

[EuropeYankee]

I'm from Salzburg too.

salzburg stadt?

im from Saalfelden, working as a chef at the Sporthotel Gut Brandlhof

 

[Johannes]

Yeah, Salzburg Stadt. Do you like it in Saalfelden? It's nice, isn't it? Haven't been there since I was a child and can't trust my memories.

 

[EuropeYankee]

yeah a pretty quiet village ;)

nobody bothers me if i drink some whisky and read a new bukowski novel at the "ratplatz-kaffee" at 3 p.m.#

do you know the brandlhof btw?

 

[Johannes]

No, don't know the Brandlhof, but probably lots of other hotels of that sort. I used to work there too.

 

[Pessimist]

Servus!
