Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

“Very often a tension can happen between music and picture that is about chance and a kind of unknowingness that can be really amazing. Just by putting together two things that were created in isolation, music and film, suddenly something quite magical can happen.” - Nick Cave The latest score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis is for director David Olehoffen’s Far From Men and is available on Bad Seed Ltd. Far From Men was adapted from an Albert Camus short story and has won three prizes at the Venice Film Festival (2014). You may hear some of the score via the film's trailer:

Todays Genius Cover Version: "Bela Lugosi's Dead (Undead is Forever)"

It's more of an artistic re-imagining than a cover version, but I can't believe I forgot to blog about this Bauhaus (grave) revisitation performed by original Bauhaus member David J and the amazing "Dark Cabaret" and Classical artist Jill Tracy. If you could all climb in my mind you would just know these things. And yes I'll be silly and Gothic - loving it and mocking it both in equal measure until I die.
