...Verlaine's employer is actually a powerful Nephilim (Trussoni uses this word as both singular and plural, which I'm not sure I buy) named Percival, who suffers from a disease that has rotted his once glorious wings into gross little stumps. He's searching for a divine lyre that could cure him. Evangeline, meanwhile, turns out to be from a family of angelologists, a secret order devoted to studying angels and opposing the Nephilim...
...many people in the Bad Seeds. I kept trying to make songs that were leaner, had less going on in them. But it was difficult, there was a whole bunch of people in the studio and everyone had some idea of what they wanted to do. The Lyre of Orpheus record was this massive juggernaut of sound because we had eight people playing each song. I wanted something rawer and leaner so I got a few members of the band together and we did this record, Grinderman, which loosened the whole thing up. And now we're making another Grinderman...
...Emperor'' was recorded in Dresden in late 1984 and is vintage Arrau. Like Schnabel, Arrau believes that the best interpretation is the one that lets the music speak most directly to the listener.

In the interim, Cave composed two soundtracks alongside perpetual collaborator and Bad Seed Warren Ellis, and his side project, Grinderman, recorded their eponymous debut in 2007. An album of visceral, uncouth guitar-thunder, “Grinderman” eschewed the theatrical...
...understand why pundits, shock jocks and political-action committees own the message. In an age when conflict passes for entertainment, we have come to expect journalism to point out the car crashes for us. Please excuse my complaint - who am I to disturb the sweet music of the lyre? Who am I to point out that Rome has begun to burn? Sarcasm - isn't it lovely? Gregory Behan, Alexandria...
