Hop inside my coat… As you’ll read in this new magazine, the last 30 years have seen an incredible transformation in the career and public persona of Nick Cave. If it was Russia we were talking about in the same period, then we’d be speaking of glasnost, openness. Weirdly, it’s a quality we can see registered through the medium of another Australian performer: Kylie Minogue. We find the pair of them (she the girl next door pop star; he the gothic scarecrow junkie) at the start of this magazine, appearing on “Where The Wild Roses Grow”, Kylie’s contribution to Murder…

It was just too… refined.”But if Gimme Back My Bullets sounded a little slicker than the band’s previous albums, it was still a great rock’n’roll…
