setlist mania(c).

what follows is my setlist from last night's Monday Night Drinking Club at Club Foot. you may notice that my set was particularly short...this was due to me being 45 minutes late (damn CTA). also, can you tell that i have not unpacked my record bags since Nick Cave night? always the procrastinator...:

My first (hopefully) annual Nick Cave-themed night at Club Foot went quite smoothly. Of course, my anal and obsessive-compulsive tendencies led me to bring about 15 hours worth of potential Great Songs to Play, but i was able to whittle it all down once the night got going and the requests started pouring in (requests were mostly for 'the hits,' of course).

If you are a huge Nick Cave fanatic,
check out this insanely comprehensive website.
It hasn't been updated in a while, but there is so much information that it doesn't even matter. This site helped me a lot in researching songs that Nick has covered and bands that have covered Nick songs!
