Mar. 25th, 2013 05:11 pmI would be remiss in not mentioning that I went to the completely mindblowing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds show, courtesy of the awesomecakes ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_axel and the_siobhan, last Saturday. Because, amazingness. Probably in the top three concerts I've ever seen. (Albeit amazingness tempered with the unfortunate realization that I will probably never get to see Blixa Bargeld in the line-up*, but that in itself is tempered by the exciting notion that his absence in the band means more Einsturzende Neubauten. Hopefully?)
The coolest bit for me as a Nice White Lady was that Grade 5 and 6 students from a St. Jamestown public school sang back-up, adding a really gorgeous and haunting dimension to what's already gorgeous and haunting music. (Yes, they were off-stage during "Stagger Lee." As an educator, I can assure you that the kids have now Googled the lyrics to that by now and are singing it in class.)
Speaking of which (NSFW):
* Everything is better with Blixa Bargeld. The Bad Seeds, hardware store commercials, romantic evenings with your significant other. Seriously, though, his presence is utterly mandatory for "Weeping Song."
