@Popdivision You might like my channel, then. You'll find some of the best of both tucked away in faves and/or playlist - indeed, I just dragged this song from early in my prolific favourites for another airing; it is quite possibly the most 'mature' stuff they made - may I also commend the first Bad Seeds album, From Her To Eternity, to you...☺t
@locomotifx I looked at your channel and saw New Order (major thumbs up), but I'm a little overwhelmed by the huge amount of material by Nick Cave, so thank you for making my searches a lot more easy and convenient!
Surprise Surprise! A little known band from Greece was doing exactly what the Birthday Party were doing at the same time. Unfortunately I no longer see the friend who gave me a copy of the tape. And I lost the only copy I had.
I'm way past the age when *this* band or *that* band is the BEST and those suck etc. But, TBP truly holds a special place in the list of bands that have had an impact on me. Beautiful stuff. Wish I had seen them live back in the day.
Exactly. The web address of the picture, if you still remember where you got it. If you don't, that's OK, cause when I feel like it I can come here to take a look at it :) (And hear a good tune on the side.)

@rozedarque The person who turned me on to them so many years ago said, "They grow on you.... like mold." She was right. They sound better than ever.

@wrs6565 It's so much more than Goth, They too hated that term.

What can you tell me about this photo? Where/who is it from?
Oh and, thanks for uploading the song. The Birthday Party has been my favorite band since forever and a day.

I found the photo at some random website showing abandoned places. This is an abandoned cinema in the middle of a forest in Russie, I think...

Thank you for putting on YouTube - I was looking for excactly this one!
And I agree - very sexy song! But quite twisted, really!

Wow, so glad to hear that people actually thanking me for putting good stuff on YouTube.
This was exactly my purpose!

Dude.. My sister if using my profile.. haha
She also have a taste for the "artistic" music..
kekle3 3 years ago 2
Wait wait..."artistic" music??
Kinda got me confused with this adjective.
Which kind of music is not artistic, and why did you meant by saying this on BP? I'm surprised.
MipKouta 3 years ago
Oh, well if you feel upset by what I said let me explain. All music is an artwork yes yes.
But some of it is more "difficult" to understand yes? Some of it you have to hear several times to "understand"
So, if I played this music to a random person, I don't think they would like it immidiatly. Maybe after a few spins they would get drawn into it.
kekle3 3 years ago
Oh, yeah, I totally agree with about this.

Oh yeah...about my fave of Birthday Party.
Heard it the first time in 1989 when I was 15 and it deeply impressed me...the atmosphere it creates....love it, till this day.

I love The Birthday Party and old Nick Cave albums, before he lost his head up his own arse. Honestly, I can't stand to watch him anymore.

It does. Kind of haunting image. Is it somewhere in the Web or is it yours? Have an URL by any chance?
skeleto 3 years ago
No, it's from the web...
I beg your pardon, but what is an URL [did you meant this really long adress of...a pic?]
