I enjoyed some Birthday Party back in the 80’s, and then some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds following that, but then took a very long hiatus and honestly kind of forgot about Nick until a few years ago when I found him at SXSW doing an amazing show. Listening to the podcast has been a lot of fun for me. I’ve learned a lot, and have gained several insights and even more appreciation for the man and his band.
This reminds me a bit of one of my very favorite podcasts, The Bearded Vegans, not so much because the topic is in any way similar, but because the hosts are two young guys who have been friends for a long time. It is cool to hear them play off each other as two lads who have some history together. The other similarity, I reckon, is that Jake is vegan, and also passionate about social justice issues. I have no idea how or why Ian isn’t vegan yet, but I guess that should happen at some point. Assuming that it will, I won’t let it affect my rating. ;)
Really looking forward to more episodes, each breaking down a single Nick Cave song. Love the format. Love the subject. Love the hosts. Love the humor. Great show!
