So now tractorgirl has settled into her second week of holidays at the beach with her family. More music is always on the agenda, listened to whilst travelling between rockpools and fishing spots and bushwalking spots. The tempo has changed to something more introspective and gutsy. Herewith more of the special tracks that have caught my ear over the last year or so, chosen for their sounds (and sometimes for their lyrics – although not always….).

 

Nick Cave. Well, he’s been on my playlist since the Nineteen EIGHTIES.  Perhaps that says enough.

Nick doesn’t need much, just a nice suit and a flower for his lapel.

(BTW, you should also check out the artist Nick Cave, who does wild things with costume, textile, sound and performance and is most definitely NOT Nick Cave the musician.)

(These items chosen from my Pinterest boards.)
