Monday night, Nick Cave’s sludgy blues-rock outfit Grinderman took a break from its ongoing U.S. tour to stop by ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,’ where the band of occasional Bad Seeds ripped through ‘Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man,’ the lead-off track on this year’s ‘Grinderman 2’ album.
This week’s new CD releases include new albums from Lloyd Cole (‘Broken Record,’ his first full-band effort in a decade), The Vaselines (‘Sex With an X,’ their first album in 21 years), Nick Cave’s Grinderman side project (‘Grinderman 2’) and James (the 2CD ‘The Morning After the Night Before’).
