Spinner.com is reporting that Nick Cave has plans to give back to his hometown of Victoria, by giving them a semi-nude statue of himself in which he is riding a horse.  It doesn’t detail which part of Nick would be nude, but if he is riding a horse we hope for his sake that he is wearing pants.  In most cases this would be completely bizarre but this is Nick Cave, so we will accept it as normal. Apparently Nick is looking for donations toward the project which could cost at least $50k.

I hate album reviews. Instead of going into indepth and long-winded sentences about the chord progressions of Generic Band A, I’d rather spotlight albums that I’ve been rocking the shit out of lately and talk about why I have been, well, rocking the shit out of them lately. It’s the record store geek mentality, what can I say? I’m not saying we won’t have our standard album reviews. I’m saying that I’d rather do this from time to time. So screw it, let’s go! So to clarify for those keeping notes, this isn’t an album “review” but rather an album “spotlight.”

Ok, I’ll admit it, up until recently, I really wasn’t the biggest fan nor did I have a clue about the genius of Nick Cave. Yes, I had a greatest hits collection on my iPod and I knew of a few Birthday Party songs here and there but that’s about it frankly. That has changed since hearing his latest full-length Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! (Mute/Anti-). I was a fan of his Grinderman project and I think this is why I dig this version of Nick Cave so much more than his older stuff. Lazarus is filled with Cave’s usual dry wit and lyrics but the songs are much more bare-boned RNR. 

Follow after the jump for more.
