“NEW 20-track compilation chronicles Nick Cave (above) and The Birthday Party from 1978 through

1983. :

Northcott returns. ;
The Birthday Party — Hits, 4AD

1992 .

’ This is it — a fine, fierce and
messy madness. Clattering bits of
the work spin away to upheave.

~The centrifugal whirl of creative
force disintegrates from the core.

There are no neat packages

here...

Lo it’s prickly rock:’n’ roll as it is

. essentially meant to be, doomed,

‘sexual and dangerous. There is the
raw push to the limits, the ag-
gressive testing of boundaries and
formes. :

“The hits are body blows.

_This 20-track compilation con-
firms The Birthday Party’s status as

~. "one of the few bands that manag-

‘, ed to extend the energy unleashed
in the 1970s.:. | .
Originally from Melbourne,
Australia, Nick Cave and his nihil-
istic cohorts went on to define and
eventually destroy themselves as a
band in London and Berlin.
* | Cave's ironically humorous and
despairing musings are grounded
by a sonic excrescence equal parts
country, cabaret and shock rock.
-. The Birthday Party hits bother
and bewilder. ~

He left the music business for
about two decades to fish and
practise law, but his career was
rekindled three years ago when

. This year’s release brings us
Northcott folky-fresh with relaxed
whimsy, a touch of soul-searching,’
and carnal flights of fancy. © -

Northcott and friends play the
Vancouver East Cultural Centre

available at the VECC and Tick-
etmaster outlets.
Paul Shaffer & The Party Boys Of

Dangerous Party, SBK Records

Watch your step, don’t trample
the cheese bits into the carpet.

This disc is kind of like finding
cigarette ashes in your glass of
beer — despoiled effervescence
and disappointment.

SASKATCHEWAN RESTAURANT |

Dangerously, Paul had some
time on his hands while Dave
moved his desk over to another TV
network,

The result is a double-disc dos-
age of full-blown versions of the
instrumental fillers Paul and the
boys crank out to help Dave go to
commercial.

There are lots of cameos as Paul
welcomes guests such as Lou
Reed, Eartha Kitt, George Clinton,
Leonard Cohen, Mike Myers, Bill
Murray, Joan Jett, James Coburn.
Tony Bennett proposes a toast at
Paul's behest: ‘Let's all get
high,” Tony says.

Chattering crowd sounds are -
laced into every track to inject

_authentic party ambience.

We are given shwinging cover
versions of songs including Led
Zep's Black Dog. ;

Happily for him, Paul is well-
connected. Unhappily for us, this
denatured shmooze music is
pointless.
