I'm surprised not to have seen any reviews putting comparing/contrasting Grinderman and the new Stooges.

iggy is teetering on the brink of self-parody at this point. nick cave is still a cool motherfucker.
― chicago kevin, Thursday, 2 August 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link
The main difference seems to be that Nick Cave writes songs from the perspective of the (dirty, crazy) old man that he is, while Iggy Pop still seems to be trying to write as a teenager, which is sad.

Nick on point. I love the part of "No Pussy Blues" where he's talking about combing his hair and hiding his gut to get with this younger girl. So awesome. I haven't heard anything else off that album yet though, sounds like I should.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 2 August 2007 19:08 (seventeen years ago) link
The album is like half awesome, the other half is fine but not especially memorable. My faves are "Get It On," "Honey Bee," and "Go Tell the Women."

Somehow I don't think Nick Cave has that trouble IRL. No pussy, I mean. Maybe he does have a gut, but he's still Nick fuckin' Cave.
― kenan, Thursday, 2 August 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link
Kelsey, it's the Grinderman record, which is supposedly Nick Cave's new rock band but is really just him and most of the Bad Seeds playing more noisily than they usually do. It's good though.
― n/a, Thursday, 2 August 2007 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link
also, I love "Depth Charge Ethel"
yeah, kels, Grinderman is Nick Cave's new band, and it's fairly off the hook.

Jesse: You inspired me, and I bought a watch today. It is this:
http://www.swissarmy.com//images/ProductCatalog/sa/sa_24656_sol_a03.jpg
The band is actually leather wrapped in cloth, for maximum durability. I figure, I'm not buying another watch for a long, long while. It's not like shoes or something.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link
There is a dude at work with a nerd watch. It's in binary or something. What kind of asshole wears a watch that no one else can read?
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link
Wait, why in the WORLD would you wear a watch for other people to read?? It's like the most basic thing about a watch that it's turned to face you when you hold your arm up. If it was for other people, it would be upside-down. Or something! If you want to know the time from someone, YOU ASK THEM.
― Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link
I guess I was thinking of when you ask someone for the time, and they hold out their watch for you to see. Which I guess is kind of rude anyway? I don't know, I haven't worn a watch since high school.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, anyway...
thanks to jesse for the "buy a watch" idea and jeff for the big-ups of the swiss army brand... I am very happy with my purchase. I believe I got something attractive-yet-practical enough for any occasion.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link
heh... there's a thread somewhere where I go off on how stupid it is to have a watch. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link
The real reason to have one is that it's a classic accessory. And a handsome one.
I don't like accessories. I tried wearing a watch for a couple of days in like 6th grade, but I couldn't get used to feeling something on my wrist. I wonder how I'd do with a wedding band.
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link
Cell phones are fine, but it's like the difference between a pocket watch and a wrist watch. Except that the cell phone isn't as aesthetically pleasing as a nice pocket watch.
Even so, a watch is more of a wrist accessory for me. A functional one.
My ex-bf used to wear his non-functioning watch when he would go out or dress up.
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link
I have to wear a watch because I'm really anal about time.
