 Angels sing to me $16.00 A Collection composed of classical, folk, and sacred music to comfort, inspire, and support expectant mothers, as well as soothe newborn infants, families, and individuals of all ages. Let your soul take flight!  God Is In The House $10.29 Great concert video of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds live in Lyon, France, in mid-2001. The set includes several songs from his 2001 release "No More Shall We Part," which is probably my favourite Nick Cave album (I own them all). The band is tight, but not freaking out onstage, the crowd is into the band and shouting out requests like "Deanna" (which doesn't get played). One strange thing to note is the tall guy in the front row who seems to know every lyric of every song and is singing along. Most of the Bad Seeds are wearing suits, Blixa Bargeld even in a three-piece with vest! It must be hot onstage, and Nick does shed his tie and jacket for the encore of "The Curse of Millhaven." Songs from "No More Shall We Part" include "Oh My Lord," "As I Sat Sadly By Her Side," "God Is In The HOuse," "We Came ALong This Road," and "Hallelujah." Standout is the title track "God Is In The House," which shows Nick at the piano, a close-up on the tattered left cuff of his jacket, his sweaty face, his emotional facial expressions, great. The DVD also comes with a video of the Bad Seeds in Abby Road Studios putting together the song. They seem to have every song composed and are working out the arrangements and the sounds, perfecting the tambourine sounds, asking the female singers to try a few different things, Blixa is battling his feedbacking guitar and patch cords and crazy headsets. Lots of kids in the studio, one of them goofing around with Blixa, the other with Nick (his son?) in his studio booth. No narration, just scenes. Nick smoking. Warren toking. Warren wearing his AC/DC shirt, or his Michael Jackson jacket. There are also videos included: "As I Sat Sadly By Her Side," with head shots of Nick on a black background, then multiplied by mirrors, showing sparks, fireworks, background images of war and savagery, shattered gunshots, KKK goons, splatterpunk. "Sixteen Feet of Pure White Snow" shows a disco full of middle-aged Russians boogying, then doing a zombie dance. With Jarvis Cocker, Jason Donovan, and a bunch of other people. Looks like it was a lot of fun. "Love Letter," Nick pictured on an old black and white TV on a short stand, then lots of shots of interior spaces, outdoor spaces, like things from the Atom Egoyan film "the Adjustor." Nice.  Kiss b/w Love or $ $67.05 One of my favorite songs by my favorite artist. I haven't heard it in a long time. I have the record in my Prince collection, but I've been looking for a CD version, and I won't stop until I find it. Wendy is pictured of the back cover in authentic French attire. In the meantime, I'll be pulling out my old turn table tonite and giving this one a spin. |
