Nick Cave of the Day

Nick Cave belongs to a secret society that goes by the not-so-secret name The Sons of Lee Marvin. Naturally, to gain entry you must possess a similar cut of jib to the late, great Mr. Marvin. Members include:

Jim Jarmusch: Founding Member ~ The Limits of Control ~ released today, May 1st, in selected theatres

John Lurie
Tom Waits
Iggy Pop
Richard Boes

They reportedly get together to watch Lee Marvin flicks. And I would like to believe that Lee Marvin would have totally been in a movie by the name of this Nick Cave song. If only it were made by someone. Which it should be. Someday.

Happy May Day.

In the Heart of the Beast: a puppet and mask theatre group.

These Minneapolians parade, ceremony and festivalize the unity of pagan and labor traditions. Perhaps you just have to be there... 35,000 people can't be wrong. Well, they probably could be but I love me a puppet show.


Prince Rogers Nelson
is from Minneapolis. I bet he goes to the festival. He seems like a puppet kind of guy. Although he is a Jehovah's Witness. Not sure how that plays out.
