NICK CAVE - WILD GOD - WATCH THE ALBUM TRAILER

By @rybazoxo ll Sunday APRIL 7th 2024 ll

My first-ever Nick Cave gig is lined up for November at Manchester Arena, UK. Alerted to the tickets via Instagram, I excitedly joined a pre-sale (for the first time) mailing list, and with that, I’m now on the nickcave.com website. All this Nick Cave PR is because he has a new album due out in August and a trailer for the album has been released on YouTube. I got a pre-listen link and gave it a whirl. 

Having watched the 2.14-minute teaser, I can tell you that Nick Cave is clearly in a recording studio and is being filmed in a documentary-style format. Is this teaser going to be a full documentary 'making of'? I do hope so. Watching Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds jamming, vocalising, and the whole creative process itself is quite a treat and the vocal refrain on ‘Bring Your Spirits Down’ isn't much of a lyrical clue to any of the album track listings, which have also been released (below)

The ten-track album listing is as follows; 

1. Song of the Lake

2. Wild God

3. Frogs

4. Joy

5. Final Rescue Attempt

6. Conversion

7. Cinnamon Horses

8. Long Dark Night

9. O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)

10. As the Waters Cover the Sea

Coronation Street - The Tour - Photography April 2022

As a huge fan of TV's iconic Coronation Street, and of taking photographs, I thought I'd share a few pictures from my recent day out visiting the ITV studios tour, viewing the wonders of Weatherfield, and the magic of British television! 

I'm sharing these images for pure aesthetics; the attention to detail within this fictional suburb is superb, and the glorious April sunshine was a wonderful bonus. Although I have visited these studios several times, in my capacity as a writer for the Coronation Street Blog, I hadn't seen the most recent additions to the set (Victoria Gardens, Seb's Memorial, Shuttleworth's) and ended up taking about 70 shots. I share just a few, so don't be afraid to scroll! 

All photos were taken on the 30th of April 2022 on this Digital camera and are (c) @rybazoxo  2022

Dev's Corner Shop on Coronation Street

Dev's Chip Shop. Does Chesney still work here?

The Victoria St Set Extension - Very impressive! 

Victoria Gardens, The 'girder' makes it look very authentic

Shuttleworth's on Victoria St. The attention to detail is awesome

The red sign on the front says 'dressed set' 

Mawdsley St. You do walk past those shops on the set tour! 

These are just a few I'm sharing. Ideally, I plan to visit again soon and take a more extensive portfolio. Ironically, I took very few of Coronation Street itself!

More information about Coronation Street - The Tour can be accessed here. I do recommend buying the Tour Souvenir Guide - it's a real treat!
