This repost of our two Nick Cave episodes is a mess of grief, awe, love, and aspiration.

Part 1: Nick Cave's Lament

In anticipation of the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album “Skeleton Tree” and its accompanying documentary “One More Time With Feeling,” we discuss the tragedy of losing a child and its effect on art, performance and persona.

Part 2: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Skeleton Tree
