I knew then that he was not up to the task of blogging Nick Cave. I am not as talented a writer as Tracy, but I own all the Bad Seeds LPs (and CDs). So, I&#8217;ll practice on these.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first Nick Cave &amp; the Bad Seeds album after the break up of The Birthday Party. Three EPs preceed &#8220;Your Funeral&#8230; My Trial&#8221; and they are all a bit louder. With this double EP the music calms down, but it isn&#8217;t boring. &#8220;The Carney&#8221; is surely the most memorable. It reminds me of a gory movie scene I would watch with one eye peeking between my fingers. I don&#8217;t want to see it, but I can&#8217;t stop watching it. I&#8217;m not the only one who can&#8217;t let that song go, &#8220;The Carney&#8221; reappears on &#8220;The Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds&#8221; CD. &#8220;Stranger Than Kindness&#8221; is another song I&#8217;ll be humming the next few days and also makes the cut on the &#8220;Best Of&#8221; CD. I also really like the title track and &#8220;She Fell Away.&#8221; Well, I really like the entire double ep. And a double ep? Why not just one album? But the packaging is clever! It&#8217;s always two things playing off one another. Your funeral \/ my trial, eyes closed on the front cover \/ open on the back, right side up \/ upside down, and virgin \/ whore illustrations on the two liners.<\/p>\n<p>Rating this is hard. When I compare it to all the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds material, it&#8217;s a 9. However, if there is ever a fire in the Sigler house, the entire Nick Cave discography will be saved right after the dog.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nick_Cave\">at Wikipedia<\/a> and check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nickcaveandthebadseeds.com\/\">the offical band site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Title: Your Funeral&#8230; My Trial Year: 1986 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
