Going to MTV Hell With Nick and Blixa
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Nick and/or Blixa post, innit?*
Nick Cave & Blixa Bargeld announce 120 Minutes for MTV, recorded early 1994.
If anyone here can decipher Blixa‘s sinister whisper divulging the 4th circle of MTV hell (“sea of burning lead of … hippie …” something?) please leave it in comments.
*For those of you just tuning in, we three Coilhouse editors share a breathless, bone-deep predilection for all things Nixa. The depth, power and futility of our combined/confused longing easily eclipses the paltry obsessions of even the most twitterpated Twilight tween. (Say that three times fast.) Fear us. Pity us. We are lost.

it sounds to me like he said “a sea of burning lead of hippie dung hell”

Mer, this definitely made my night. Thank you!

I too am a totally helpless Nixa addict.
My favourite is Blixa’s dramatic gasp and then: “U2 are in HELL!”

A sea of burning lead and hippy metal?

I think he’s saying “hippie metal hell”

thanks for this Nixa moment. You may be lost, but you are not alone.

They would have made a great 1930’s radio show duo.
Kinda miss MTV after midnight. Prior to them having crappy reality shows to pimp out till dawn it use to have that “Ah, screw it let the weirdos play on TV…” vibe.

Oh, Nixa. *swoons* Yeah, you aren’t alone.

I’m hopelessly devoted to Nixa. count me as lost, too.
