Entry #10 – The Lyre of Orpheus (a.k.a: The One with the song used in Harry Potter)

If you’re just joining us you may want to read the previous entry where we delved into the first part of this double album from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Ok and now that you have done that here we are on disc two of Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. So far so good,Continue reading “Entry #10 – The Lyre of Orpheus (a.k.a: The One with the song used in Harry Potter)”

Entry #9 – Abattoir Blues (a.k.a Primary school assemblies could’ve been so much better with Nick Cave)

Entry #7 – Head Music (a.k.a Suede’s Be Here Now?)

Entry #6 – Feelin’ (aka Lillywhite v Leckie)

For this one I want to mix things up a little bit. I’ve been having creative spurts lately that only seem to happen just when I’m about to go to bed and the latest one came when I was listening to the La’s the other night. I’ll say off the bat that their one andContinue reading “Entry #6 – Feelin’ (aka Lillywhite v Leckie)”
