I just finished reading “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy and I was absolutely floored by the breadth, scope and vision of this book.  It is no small wonder that the New York Times recently considered it the third best American novel of the last twenty-five years.  After I finished it, I realized I needed to delve deeper into Cormac McCarthy’s body of work and began “The Road” over the weekend.  Coincidentally, “The Road” has recently been made into a movie which will be released in November.  I hope they don’t screw it up.  More on “Blood Meridian” to follow.

Nick Cave Setlist 10/4/08 WaMu Theater, NYC

October 6, 2008 Leave a comment

Here is the setlist from Saturday night’s Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds show in New York.  It was a pretty amazing show and a far cry from when I first saw Nick at the old Ritz in November 1986 where about thirty people showed up and he was slugging cheap vodka from a plastic bottle.  Although I love the stage presence and musical inventiveness of Warren Ellis I still miss Blixa!
