Like most people currently in their mid-to-late twenties, I arrived late to the Nick Cave party. Unless your parents were older hipster elite (and mine weren't), most of us first heard Cave's menacing growl on "Red Right Hand" midway through Wes Craven's pop horror flick, Scream.

With a relatively sparse four-man set-up that features Bad...

Shane MacGowan's known for having had (he got new ones last year) extremely bad teeth, Johnny Depp's played a pirate with atrocious dental work and Nick Cave sings about baring one's teeth, so perhaps that's the common bond that brought these three together to record a charity single for Haiti. Of course, all three celebrities also have...

Anybody else think "The Ship Song" is absolutely amazing?
