Love, Nick...

Thank you everyone from Bournemouth, U.K. to Tel Aviv, Israel for making this tour the most extraordinary transformative and communal event. You helped us more than you can know. And thank you all for the beautiful pictures. Quite incredible. You are the new rock ’n’ roll chroniclers. Thank you to crew and the lights and the sound and the management and all the rest for making these massive venues appear intimate and true. And, of course, thank you to the Bad Seeds for their pure unadorned brilliance. Much love to you all and see you next time. I’m going home, having a party, then shutting the door and disappearing for a while!

Much love,

Nick

Tori Amos, The Guardian interview, 2017.

“Listen, we have all heard men being called a certain female body part when they cry. And we all know the real power of that body part; talk about a multitasker! Emotional vulnerability takes bravery. Great male leaders through the ages have understood this.”

From the letter to the late husband (Chris Cornell)...

...I’m broken, but I will stand up for you and I will take care of our beautiful babies. I will think of you every minute of every day and I will fight for you. You were right when you said we are soulmates. It has been said that paths that have crossed will cross again, and I know that you will come find me, and I will be here waiting.

I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in the history of loving and more than anyone ever will.

Always and forever,

Your Vicky

The Love and Terror of Nick Cave, GQ interview, 2017.

“I mean, I was never a depressed person,” he says. “I've always been basically optimistic. I see great beauty in the world. You know, I look around and it's a fucking awesome beautiful place. That's how I've always felt. I'm not saying this is some kind of thing at the moment—I've always looked at the world in that way.… Writing is basically an act of love, and a kind of joyful thing to do. That quickening of the heart that comes when you're onto something. I mean, I get all kind of shaky and stuff like that. It's an immensely positive act, nothing to do with sadness or depression or any of these sorts of things, no matter what you're writing about.”

Feist, NY Times article, (2017)...

...climbing rocks in Central Park, she recalled the “shanty hut” on a raw Canadian island where she spends weeks during the summer, isolated and without electricity.

“Being on that island, I found really concrete poetry,” Feist said, comparing her moods to the storms that passed over the exposed landscape. “I could see it coming, I would experience it, and then it would be gone.”

nipplepeople FRKA

grickam nokte i za tobom žudim htjela bih poprilično da s tobom danas bludim noć je ova tako lijepa a u meni silna zbrka kada krene naša frka otkrila sam travku u šipražju otkrila sam sebe u metežu otkrila sam lice i suzicu otkrila sam ljubav i guzicu slušala sam uobičajene pizdarije pa radije znam pobrojati zvijezde koje se gnijezde gore iznad oblaka što hitro nailaze

Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) - ‘Music is the Answer’

I find it difficult to pluck up the courage to speak out about the political climate, and I find it equally troubling to stay silent. I realize that in reality all I really do is make pretty whimsical pop music, but I do that to the best of my ability. I try to invest this music with emotion and humanity and hope that that effort comes across to the listener. Pop music isn’t much to believe in, particularly at a frightening moment in our history, but I feel that it has some importance nonetheless.
