Any Nick Cave fans out there (one of our most illustrious Aussie 
countrymen
I'll have you know (: )? 

Yes it was good to read the interview with Nick Cave. And also 
interesting to hear about some of the things he has been doing 
lately : visiting poetry lecturer in Vienna, religious commentator.

The use of religious/sacred themes in Nick's songs heightens the 
dark quality that they all seem to have. Dark yet powerful. 

The whole ' not run with the herd' thing is evident in both jds and 
nc's work. Except jds visits this theme maybe in not such a dark 
way. The quality of tension within the individual is present - and the 
religious allusions. I think initially I'd be happy to encounter a 
character of jds's. Some of Nick Caves characters and I might feel 
the need to cross the street. Nick Cave's well worth a look if you 
haven't already

p.s.caio everyone, this is the first mail I've sent to bananafish - 
mention of Nick Cave moved me to act.
