Get it on with Grinderman 0 comments Added on 04/13/07 by

Got a referral from Anti this morning for an interview that I did with Jolie Holland . . . I checked to make sure the link was still relevant and the album art for Grinderman got my attention.
Being an eMusic user and Anti fan meant that it was time to pay a visit and sample Grinderman. Did so, dug it and downloaded the album.
Grinderman is a Nick Cave project full of filth. I love it. Loud, distorted, poignant for old men, ridiculous noise that makes me yearn for a new Tom Waits album. I've never been in to Nick Cave but when an musician makes something with this much energy and art they've got me as a fan. It reminds me of Morphine but a harder edge and a touch of free-from jazz.
