Exciting news from Anti- Records. Grinderman, consisting of Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey and Jim Sclavunos and described as "foul-mouthed, noisy, hairy, and damn well old enough to know better," will drop their self-titled debut album in North America on April 10, 2007. A sample track, "No Pussy Blues," has been streaming on MySpace for several weeks now. As I recall, and as a re-liste...

While my 2007 best of the year movie list will appear in the first Maroon of the quarter, I will not be submitting a music list this year. I have admittedly weird tastes, yes, but this year, my weird taste has been validated more in the press than in past years.

Glad to see ol' Nick's lost none o...

Ever hear of Nick Cave? Well, if you haven't, he's one angry aussie. Grinderman is a side project for him and his original band (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds).

They play a fusion of blues and garage rock that is deliberately dirty, raw and unprocessed. They're lyrics ...
