You've inspired me to hunt down that Current 93 song (just found an mp3 of it)... not a bad tune for an afternoon in Sydney which threatens to be rainy as well.

Anybody that can find common ground between Nick Cave and The Bee Gees is cool in my book!

well, maybe it was a bit of a stretch between old nick and the bee gees, but not really much of one between them and say, the lucksmiths or the magnetic fields.
