The Noise and the Light

The other night, I mentioned to Jess that Nick Cave was a Christian, and she was surprised to hear this, given his persona. I repeated a simplification I've heard in interviews: that his early recordings were Old Testament, and the more recent, New Testament.

I searched the net for articles on this topic and found a fantastic article on him, reprinted from salon. Even if you're unfamiliar with his music, or uninterested in religious matters, it is a striking piece and worth ten minutes of your attention.
