The track listing of that best of comp leans towards the less abrasive Cave material, perhaps understandably. That said, even though the piano balladry of Cave's recent work is largely dull, the guy cranked out some beautiful love songs. "Straight to You" is like wo.

Murder Ballads is overrated. I like it, but the shock-and-gore occasionally borders on parody.

It looks like I'm chewing on a foot, but I swear that I'm not.

I went to the Glamour Shots at the mall. Shaving my beard changed the whole dynamic of my face, I think.

Agent of Oblivion said this board is like the scab you can't stop picking. Sounds about right.

The live version of the title track to From Her to Eternity (the one affixed to the album itself, not the one from the live album, which I haven't heard) is so, so, so awesome.

Let Love In and Tender Prey are my two favorites. Lots of people seem to love No More Shall We Part, but that one bores me, mostly.

Whenever I hug her, my hands get soaked.

My best friend is mexican, you know. Did you hear I'm dating a Mexican girl now?

SWORDFISHTROMBONES goes live at 10pm, EST. I'm hoping to capitalize on all the scrawny indie kids who don't like sports.

There's a thread in Hardcore Discussion about it, actually.

I'm sure justsoyouknow has a lot to say on this very pressing issue.

Mine just has the album proper. And, curiously, "Dalliance" is misspelled on the back cover.
