Nick Cave’s Influences

An article at the always-interesting Brain Pickings website caught my attention a few days ago. It shows us a list drawn up by musician and author Nick Cave of important influences on his work. I have to admit that I’ve only heard a little of Cave’s music, although I really liked The Proposition, the very violent quasi-Western film set in Australia for which he wrote the screenplay (and music). But after looking at this list of influences, clearly I need to become more familiar with his work!
