Raise your hands up to the sky
When I think of dancing on film, a longtime favorite music video has been NICK CAVE AND THE BADSEEDS' unholy dance party with FIFTEEN FEET OF PURE WHITE SNOW. The unsettling and darkly comic cinematography is reminiscent of DAVID LYNCH, but the attitude is pure CAVE.
When I saw his punkier outfit GRINDERMAN perform in Chicago last year, the electric antics of NICK CAVE's lanky frame served by the mid- to upbeat music were the highlight of his performance. Here, we are also treated to a cameo appearance from JARVIS COCKER of PULP.
