OK this going be part three journal in my writing about Nick Cave - The Exhibition. Which just might be going a bit too far but I think I'll be about half or just over half through now (if I get what I want to in this one). It's an amazing show but I think I could talk about Nick Cave forever anyway so here I go again. One book I missed from the last journal is one about Ned Kelly with an introduction by Nick's father Colin Cave.

In one room is Elvis Presley at one end, then Johnny Cash at the other, with a few early Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds songs in between. In one corner we have Cave written out the lyrics to In The Ghetto which was recorded by Elvis in 1969 on his From Elvis in Memphis album and In The Ghetto was the last song on that record. But the song was originally written by Mac Davis and was originally titled The Vicious Circle, here is his In the Ghetto on last.fm. Anyway Cave did a cover of this song in 1984 as a 7" single then on his album From Her To Eternity. Next to these lyrics is his drawings for the video clip with huge theater stage and orchestra pit but the final video looks, as Mick Turner from Dirty Three said when on Rage as a guest programmers, like a little Mexican shrine. I remember on the DVD of all the videos Cave said he spent the money which was going to be used from the video clip on drugs. Out of all the early videos this is my favorite, I like better than The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party clips too. It's so low budget ,keeps going out of focus all the time too, it was directed by Evan English. Nick Cave's version I think is one of the best covers he's ever done, It's so great, I can't really say how great it is.


In this exhibition there are all these pink cards which is like his statements or stories about all the different things, like people or songs or books or whatever. Well one of these Cave tells you about Elvis, which goes something like this: "Well I've always loved Elvis... especially his Memphis recordings but anything really. Have you heard his church songs? Really Beautiful... I was sad when he died... But it was seeing the wonderful biopic This Is Elivs some years later... those last fifteen minutes... gut-wrenching ordeal... Are You Lonesome Tonight? ...with it's slow single shot track to the heartbreak... That turned my feeling for Elvis into sometimes else altogether... To me, this is the single most affecting footage of a performer I have seen. I have watched it a100 times."

Above is a drawing for the album of The Firstborn Is Dead but different to the final photo. The drawing is profile of Cave like Nocturama cover but he is smoking a cigarette with title at the bottom with a row of animals on top of the words. From left to right are: Pig, Duck, Giraffe, Cat, Monkey, Peacock, Alligator, Snake and Bear (well that's what it looks like to me).

On the next wall is the hand-written Tupelo and Saint Huck. In the corner is a stand-up lamp of the world with Australia facing front. Above this a small little photo frame of The Saints. And two pink cards statements or stories about Johnny Cash, one about singing a duet Johnny, one about him singing The Mercy Seat. Nick Cave's two pages of hand-written draft and typed-up final version of the song is next to these two stories and a poster for The Mercy Seat.


The story of Johnny Cash's Mercy Seat is really just him telling us about a phone call he got from Rick Rubin when holidaying in the south of France. "I get a phone call from Rick Rubin... who I never talked to before... No one is supposed to know where I am... 'Hey Nick I'm working with Johnny Cash and wondering if you mind if he records The Mercy Seat... I felt I was pole-axed or something because someone who's been your hero forever wants to do your song... I say 'Well Rick let me have a moment to think about that' 15 or 20 seconds later then said 'No I got no objections Rick.' then a chuckle on the other end of the phone and he said 'No, I didn't think you would'..." Next to the poster, pink card and the glass box with the lyrics is a poem from Saint John of Cross.

The other side of the world (lamp) is his telling us about meeting and singing with Johnny Cash. On another pink card is "I had been in the studio for an hour waiting for Johnny to arrive... Rick Rubin with his beard... But the door open and Johnny was led in and looked old and very sick, the diabetes maybe... when he went from sunlight to interior he went blind for a few minutes... his arms stretched out saying 'Are you there Nick? are you there?' and I was wondering how is he going to sing anything, so old and frail but he sat down in front of the microphone and started humming Hank Williams and the band started playing the song. I'm a musician... long enough to know the restorative powers of music but never seen anything like what happened next. He became younger and wonderfully visibly energy started to pour off him." I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry on his album American IV: The Man Comes Around which was to be his final album.

Here is a great photo of Nick Cave (looking a bit worry) with Johnny Cash in the studio recording from Unearthed box set. Also if you didn't know Cave and Cash do a great version of old folk song called Cindy on this box set too.


As a footnote here Johnny sung I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry previously with Bob Dylan. Here is youtube clip from his No Direction Home film


A bit shorter than the last two but still heaps to write look out for part four soon.

Nick Cave - The Exhibition is now on in Perth at the Western Australia Museum. The website here: http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/exhibitions/nickcave/
and I'm going to write a journal about it so I remember how unbelievable it is/was and if anybody reading this can go or if you can't well you can read my ranting and raving here. Thanks for reading this too, I'll say that first before you read it all, well if you get though it all or not thanks anyway for looking.

If you don't know the W.A. Museum there is a space for temporary exhibitions downstairs which is painted all black not just for this show but works so well. I go in there and stare at the walls some times even if the exhibitions are totally shity but enough about me.

When you are walking into this exhibition you hear it before you see it because of all the songs playing but all at the same time in some kind-of fucked-up, Nick Cave mash-up. What you see first is a huge photo of him kind-off like on the poster but standing up. Next is one of his 90's suits on a dummy with an animal mask on it face. There is also these little framed photos of all sorts of people like Ned Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, St. Francis of Assissi, W.H. Auden and others. I'll have to note down all of these because their is so many of these all over the place. Like this one of Ned Kelly the day before his execution.


I'm going to write about The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party room. There are all these fake walls up painted with dark colors and words from his lyrics pasted on. In the corner of this room there is a stand-up lamp with a white lamp shade with WOOF! written all over it.

In a glass box (well everything is in glass boxes) is a 1979 diary opened on the week of March 26th to April 1st. On Monday is "Buy oil paint" and "Make a tape with Andrew". On Tuesday is "Crystal Ballroom" at the top and in red pen is "Dole form to be Handed in" for the rest of the week there is a gig every night something called "Bombay Rock" is on Wednesday and Thursday with The Radiators. Friday is "Bananas" off course and April Fools Day in 79 is "Crystal Ballroom" with The Radiators again.

Under his diary is a few flyers for the same time and it seems they're playing with Teenage Radio Stars, Jab and X-ray-Z and never on top of the bill. All these bands were on the same record label, Nick's first, called Suicide Records. As a side note here Lethal Weapons album (not the Mel Gibson movies) was reissued by Aztec Music a couple years ago if you haven't got the first songs ever recorded by them: These Boots Are Made For Walking, Masturbation Generation and boy hero you can get it here: http://www.aztecmusic.net/ it's a classic Aussie punk record everyone should have but seems again it's not on last.fm.

Anita Lane bit is next up with a crazy shirt design by her and wore by Cave but no photos of him wearing it. Above the small photo of Nick Cave & Anita Lane together is one these little framed photos this one is Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter with his LOVE knuckles showing like this:


Under all this is the hand written lyrics to Dumb Europe which on Die Haut's Burnin' the Ice which seems to be written together with Lane but on the album liner notes only credits Cave. Nick Cave Man or Myth poster framed hung next to the band is listed by name which is Barry Adamson, Mick Harvey, Tracy Pew and Hugo Race with the Painters & Dockers supporting for only $8 and it's a New Years show too.

A Happy Birthday 7" single is framed which was a give-a-way at the last show before moving to England. The Boys Next Door is on it but after moving there they changed their name to The Birthday Party. A TV is playing some very old bootleg videos of songs from this time, some of this is so bad you can't see some of it really but it's amazing to see anyway. The Birthday Party poster and some of Cave's hand drawn artwork is hung up here too.

Hand-written lyrics to Sonny's Burning and Wild World are here but is more interesting is following Mutiny in Heaven's hand-written lyrics on hotel note-pad to the typed out final version with half a dozen different hand written versions. With more photos of the band around this time, a little photo Leadbelly is above all this but what is more interesting is an artist statement on a pink piece of paper which is Cave talking about recording, writing and recording the song Mutiny in Heaven. Which goes something like (for my notes, this is not all of it just bits I noted down) this: "...demarcation point between The Birthday Party and what would be Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds... people have said there's bad blood between me and Rowland S. Howard but I don't remember it like that at all... I didn't want to sing his songs... even his great songs. I couldn't exactly work out what some of them were about... There was this bass groove, no guitar or words and no one knew what to do with it... I remember sitting up there all night, writing not sleeping then going back to the studio... this torrent of wacked-out words... shit all over-layed, multi-tracked, over-lapping vocals... and loving it. There was no room for guitar and Roland hated it... then Blixa Bargeld picked up his Fender Stratocaster saying "I Can"... Mutiny was the last song Birthday Party recorded. Unbeknownest to anyone at the time. The Blueprint of the Bad Seeds was stamped upon it."

In Mojo Magazine last year, the one with The Clash on the cover on the very last page in Hello/Goodbye bit Roland talked about this totally differently, it was something like, Cave didn't like his guitar playing on the same song and Blixa started to play on it and Roland packed up his stuff and left because he thought it was the last day and didn't come back but there was a week left recording. Roland said they played some shows after this in Australia but it was already over for him."

Anyway whatever happened I love that song so I spent forever looking at these lyrics. It's kind-off like a long vomit of words which is how Bob Dylan talked about writing Like A Rolling Stone, I know all the Dylan nutters will say you can't compare the two songs but well Mutiny in Heaven to me looks like a long vomit words on paper, I haven't seen Dylan's.

More of his drawings and then on the last wall in this room is more Birthday Party photo's. One is Nick wearing a black and white striped t-shirt above this photo is another little photo of a penguin like this one:

Cool, eh?

Just outside this room is a huge photo of early Boys Next Door up not under glass and someone's circled a photo of Anita Lane which is hung in the background and written her name so I guess that is why almost everything is under glass.

The next box has the hand-written and typed-out lyrics to From Her To Eternity which is one of the first classic Bad Seeds songs. On the first small piece of paper has one small black hair attached to it. More photos, then Cave's film synopsis for Ghosts...of the Civil Dead quoting Jack Henry Abbott, this was re-written by everyone in involved before it started filming but good to read his original. If you never seen it here is Cave's performance, I've found his opening scene on youtube


On another pink piece of paper is Cave talking about making this film "...well that was a trip ...is a miracle it got made... filmed in a aircraft hanger... the script that reads like it been thrown up in the air and picked up at random... film director straight out of film school... punch-ups, meltdowns, walk-outs, overdoses and somehow this raw, brutal beast of a movie got made, a bloody miracle." On more papers there's Cave's notes of his dialogue or what his character "Maynard" was going to scream in his scenes. Above all this, is another little framed photo, this time of Elvis Presley in his late period, he's got those flower necklaces you get in Hawaii around his neck so my guess is he's in Hawaii.

To finish off this journal (I'm going to have to write two or three more of these to cover everything) with more photos but this time it's of The Birthday Party's final concert in Melbourne on 9th June 1983. With little frames of Ludwig van Beethoven's portrait by Joseph Karl Stieler, 1820 and black and white photo of John Coltrane from his A Love Supreme album cover.

How to Buy... NICK CAVE! blog


Nick Cave
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Grinderman
The Birthday Party
The Boys Next Door
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis

I went to something on Thu 6 Nov – SONIC SESSIONS hosted by Lucky Oceans and staring Kim Salmon. It was presented as an intimated conversation and jamming performance. Lucky Oceans lives in Fremantle and is on ABC radio and Kim Salmon is the godfather of Australian Indie Punk Rock. Kim Salmon never really hit the big time like some other singer-songwriters from around the same time. He’s like a hidden treasure or secret gem which a few people know about but once you get into him a lot of Australian independent music makes much more sense. He’s also from Perth so he’s from my home town that is special to me. Like the Western Australian equivalent to Queensland’s The Saints, Sydney’s Tex Perkins, Adelaide’s Dave Graney and Victoria’s Nick Cave.

I read a lot of stuff about early Aussie independent music there are some great books around but there could be more really. This was hearing it straight from his mouth without editing or anything, questions from Lucky and Kim’s side of the story of what happen at that time in Australian music.

They started with Frantic Romantic from early The Scientists from Pissed on Another Planet with Lucky playing slide guitar. Then Lucky started asking about early music. Kim started playing guitar at 13 and spent a lot of time in his bedroom playing. The early music he talked about was T.Rex and Deep Purple but he was looking for something else, then he found punk rock around 1976. There really was not much music at home growing up. His Mum was there talking about him asking for a guitar and it came out of nowhere, she went to K-Mart with him to buy a really cheap one. My girlfriend said his Mum was sweet and she was obviously very proud of her son.

His first band was called Trouble Waters and played at a strip club six nights a week at four hour long night (with breaks). How he got the gig was he auditioned that afternoon and rehearsed with them and started playing that night with 200 songs in the set list.

Next was the Cheap ‘N’ Nasties the earliest Perth W.A. punk band, Kim’s getting some recordings together and would like to release, hopefully. At this point he talked about going full circle with his new band called Salmon which plays one of their songs called Cheap ‘N’ Nasties, this is on the album which came out last year. He also mentioned AC/DC because he liked their riffs but it’s not very punk rock to talk about them. Next he played Pissed on Another Planet which is another early The Scientists song, then Drop Out, which was a The Scientists song but Beasts of Bourbon ended up recording it on their first album. Drop Out was one of the only originals on album Axeman’s Jazz, the rest being covers. Kim mentioned The Cramps at this point which was early 80’s. This was getting close to the break so he played Cool Fire which you can find on a Beasts Of Bourbon album too. Kim also recorded it for his first solo album called E(A)rnest which he talked about being his acoustic folk conceptual art album. He talked about his new band with Ron Peno from Died Pretty called The Darling Downs as being country and western concept album. Then he said a lot of his music is like that, he was going to art school which is like you come up with a concept and you go about it the best way you know to executed it. Kim didn’t finish his art degree and now thinking about going back and finishing it off.

The Scientists got talked about and how there are two different line-ups and two totally different bands really. The early more poppy The Scientists and a later Evil grunge The Scientists that were over eastern states then over to Europe in the mid-80’s. At this time he was also doing Beasts of Bourbon but didn’t really talk about them. The first time The Scientists went over east they played with The Boys Next Door and they blew them away. The second tour over east they got on Count Down which if your not from Australia you don’t know that if you were an Aussie band in the 80’s and made it on Count Down you should have made the big time but when The Scientists came back to Perth no one believed they where on it. Perth bands didn’t go over east back then playing Count Down.

They had a little break and Kim came back on stage wearing a tape recorder round his neck and with the thing recording what he was playing, then he rewound it and played it back while playing something else. Lucky asked if he recorded that and Kim said Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth had for one of his Mixed Tape projects. Which lead into talking about America and all the bands who he influenced. Going to America and playing and working with Mudhoney on an album which never happened. Some of the songs ended up on Kim Salmon’s Record and he was asked to play I’ll Be Around the single which got air play on Triple J Aussie radio station but after the 1st verse he started to forget the words because he had not played it since the late 90’s.

He asked what people wanted to hear next and played Swampland. This was a later The Scientists song from Blood Red River album. At this point some of the old punk rockers got a bit rowdy. Someone was shouting out Belly Full Of Slugs all night which is from Kim Salmon & the Surrealists 1st album called Hit Me With the Surreal Feel but he really couldn’t play it without a bass player and drummer. Somebody was shouting out stupid questions but he did answer one about the first album he bought. When he was on Aussie TV show Rockwiz he answered with Hawkwind but tonight corrected it to Creedence Clearwater Revival. Jodi Phillis & Kim Salmon did a great cover duet on that show. It Takes Two which is originally by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston.

To finish off the night he talked about another band which was in the late 90’s called Antenna and a song he wrote for the album which ended up being the single and getting air play on Triple J and being used in Burke’s Backyard (Aussie garden show). He was writing this song when he just met his then girlfriend, now wife. The song was inspired by Serge Gainsbourg’s Je t’aime…Moi Non Plus which finally ended up being the closest thing to a hit single. It is off course Come on Spring. It was a great night and wonderful idea getting songwriters to talk about the process, I think some people wanted more songs but it could have gone on all night talking and playing.

Quote of the night: “I’m like a salmon swimming up steam, going against the flow.”

To finish off with three things I wanted to write about is Nuggets album, Wave Aid and Covers of Kim songs which has nothing to do with this night I’ve written above. In Mojo Magazine a couple years ago Salmon was asked to pick one record in 100 Records That Changed The World, he chose to talk about Nuggets by Various Artists. An album from the late 60’s and early 70’s which he said proved punk had been around a lot long than Sex Pistols and if you knew about this you felt like you were getting it straight from a secret source which is how I felt when I discovered Kim Salmon so I should find Nuggets somewhere.

Kim Salmon played with Nick Cave at Wave Aid at the S.C.G. a few years ago, on the DVD The Ship Song was the only one on it but they played Red Right Hand and Jack the Ripper. I can’t find these and I’d really love to hear Kim playing guitar on these Nick songs, the rest of the band that day was Marty P. Casey on bass and Mick Harvey playing drums. This was just a year or so before Grinderman. If anyone knows where I can get these songs from please let me know. I always thought Kim would be a great Bad Seeds member but then again one gig is fine, if only I can find them. People who work with Nick their own song writing and albums suffer anyway, just look at Warren Ellis since hooking up with Nick we only have two Dirty Three albums. But please if you know where to get Wave Aid recording of Red Right Hand and Jack The Ripper drop me a line.

And to finish this epic journal I’ll leave with 5 Kim Salmon covers from other Aussie bands and artists to check out:
#1.You Am I – Drop Out
Find it on: on some deleted Aussie movie soundtrack called Idiot Box, I don’t know where to get it please let me know if it is on something that is not out of print.
#2.Magic Dirt – We Had Love
Find it on: hard to find self titled E.P. but I’ve seen it on iTunes
#3.The Drones – Words From a Woman To her Man
Find it on: Aussie Radio Triple J’s Like a Version #2 covers album
#4.Dirty Three – Obvious Is Obvious
Find it on: Shark E.P. or Touch and Go Records spilt single with Low
#5.Mick Harvey (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) – Come on Spring
Find it on: His solo album called One Man’s Treasures

A Kim Salmon tribute album would be cool, wouldn’t it?

Or he could record all his great and wonderful songs on a solo album you know all on one album with him and his guitar like something like: Kim Salmon Plays or Re-records some of his Best Songs altogether on one album. That would be cool too.

Pretty cool tool to generate a chart like mine below - http://ilo.gda.pl/filip/cover/.
