Does Nick Cave ever stop? This his 4,5670 side projects second album Grinderman, is a very good album. The first track off of this very good album, is the very good Mickey Mouse and The Goodbye Man. It slowly builds up from sparse distant sounds into a sudden howling, heavy whirlwind that pulls you in and doesn’t let you live until it’s beaten the living shit out of you. Cave’s distinctive baritone sits very comfortably over the screeching guitars, groovy bass and powerful drums. The wonderful thing with Nick Cave is he’s never tempted to sell-out so to speak and continues producing such distinctive and awesome songs. He and his band epitomize and ooze cool which isn’t bad for a band over 40 and this song is so rock and roll it hurts.
