Although following all these rules would leave Nick Cave a bit stuffed for songs, really, wouldn't it? Or bouncers. They would have ruined it for him too - you think you're coming in here with that gun, Mr Stagger Lee, and blowing holes right in anyone's motherf*ckin' head. Not in my gaff, sonny.

I went to see Nick Cave at the end of last month, in Alexandra Palace in London. It was great - he played lots of old hits (no album to promote), and he played them loud and raw. The venue was also rather lovely - wouldn't mind going back there some time in daylight, with a camera.

Then, the next week, I went to see Iggy Pop at the Hammersmith Apollo. He and the Stooges played through FunHouse, then did some of their old hits. And they were surprisingly good. Iggy has more energy than a bloke half his age, and as usual, spent most of his set tormenting his minders by hurling himself off the stage, and dragging half the audience up on set at the end.
