On an Australian-based blog I read just about every day, one of the esteemed posters has been doing a countdown of their Top 10 songs. Such a hard task to undertake, and one I'd never attempt - it would cause me too much angst, not least because I have favourite songs for different moods. And while I'm not sure that death can be classified as a mood, I've even compiled a list of songs I'd like played at my funeral. Although that was a long time ago and will need to be reviewed.
Anyway. On the other blog, this week's Top 10 song is a Nick Cave track. Now, I'll just explain I've always loathed the sound of Nick Cave's voice, ever since I first heard it, at uni. Yeah, I realise it's practically un-Australian or Melburnian or something to admit that publicly, but it's true. I totally don't get the whole Nick Cave love thing. He sounds like a droning fucking nightmare and his voice makes me want to slash my wrists. Although that could be a little strong, I have a fairly visceral reaction to the sound of his voice.
There, I've got that off my chest. Thank you, I feel much better.

ReplyDeleteYes. That's the appeal (well, for me).
