Red Hand Files today is my favourite so far. Genius stuff.

In response to Elettra of Berlin (Issue #8), you said you'd "freak the fuck out" if the world were about to end in 72 hours. Great answer. But would that be for the whole 72 hours?  JAMES, SKIPTON, ENGLAND

Dear James, Okay, good point. First off, I would investigate the person who was making the claim to see if they were a reliable source of information and not some lunatic on the street with a cardboard sign. If the person making the claim seemed credible, I would look at the reason why the world was going to end. If it was scientific in nature such as an impact event with an asteroid (which would make sense since we had been given 72 hours notice), rather than say, a random nuclear attack (where we would be given no such warning), or AI undermining us to the point of non-existence, or over-population, or all humans losing the will to live at the same time (a distinct possibility), or a catastrophic fungal pandemic, or extreme weather (all of which would happen incrementally, not in exactly 72 hours) then I would go to the appropriate channels and check out the science. If there was a consensus among scientists, who, after all, are in the business of knowing stuff - stuff like, for example, climate change, the mother of all apocalyptic fears, where 97%of scientists ascribe the cause to humankind - I would probably take their word for it and not be so negligent as to deny their projection. I would then proceed to do everything I could to stop it. I would make a call to my friend Bono. If even Bono couldn’t stop it, and there was simply no hope - with annihilation absolutely and unambiguously inevitable - I would gather my family together, hold them tightly and speak some comforting words. I would take their hands and pray quietly for a moment, because collective prayer can have a calming effect, and I would pray to the possibility of a god, and that the afterlife was a Christian one (where my family and I may have a slim chance of getting in) and not a Muslim one (where we wouldn’t) or a Hindu one (where we may all come back as cockroaches) or a Jewish one (which, as far as I can make out, is pretty much bad news for everyone). I would ring my mother. I would pet the dogs. I would then turn to my wife, look into her lovely eyes, push a strand of hair from her face and quietly tell her that I loved her, have always loved her and would continue to love her till the end of the world. Then, and only then, would I, with great force of meaning and extreme prejudice, freak the fuck out. Love, Nick

Lick this old toads back and embrace sweet oblivion, dearest Nick.

I'm now convinced Nick posts on here after reading that rambling. Get some prose recognition on the job.

Or the start of his road to headline the Pyramid. Glasto getting the BBC to start planting the seeds now imo.

Edit: Nick Cave the surprising solo act replacing Macca. Blimey!

I'd have just blocked you don't worry.

Just watching this program called Wind River and thinking to myself, "Man, this sounds like the Bad Seeds". Turns out Nick and Warren soundtracked it. I think that gets me a special badge. Oh yeah, also, Cave to headline 2019.

You won't believe me now, but I did exactly the same thing with that film! Said to my other half that it sounded like Cave and Ellis and then checked... sure enough...

Special badge for you too!

So I get the even better badge where I actually recognised the music from Nick’s arena dates and was all like “ah Nick, we meet again”.

One of the songs was played on repeat before his shows in 2017. I remembered it. Although it was probably at the end of the film or something so a shit brag, all things considered.

No, that's fair enough. Badge for you.

I can't wait to see them headlining in 2020.

Fs I just came here to post that.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

He is apparently playing London in the not too distant future, although looking at his website it looks like he is doing a speaking tour, so its probably just that and not a live music show.

It's occurred to me there's been no sight of @russycarps in a while and it looks as though September was when he last graced us with his wise / poetic words of misery and disgust.

Now we're getting near lineup time and Nick Cave hopefully gets announced will he return?
