"It was hard work loathing everything all the time"

Good Christ.

Nick Cave's "The Secret Life of the Love Song/The Flesh Made Word" is incredible. Two "lectures" about religion, art, heresy, and the union of all three -- read by the man himself, in his rumbling, achy brogue.

One could drown in a voice like that.

And now you can drown, too: here

...really?

I love Nick Cave, but...

Yup! Goofy personal reasons.

I can't argue with another's choice of words to put on their body. Far too personal. Really I'm just showing everyone that I shy when it comes to getting a tattoo.

Besides, if anyone's lyrics are to be chosen, Nick Cave isn't too shabby a choice. Not by a long shot.

I could be worse, and put Staind or something. Or a butterfly! Or a dolphin! Or a dolpin with butterfly wings quoting Staind.

Holy fuck.

A girl at school has her name written on her tramp stamp area, with butterflies on the S at the beginning, and the N at the end.

Y'know, in case she ever has a Memento moment.

Staind makes Keef's ears bleed.
