Nick Cave, who would be touring the world in support of last year’s Ghosteen—one of our favorite albums of 2019—if not for this global pandemic, is doing his part to keep people indoors.
As NME points out, the beloved singer is using the Bad Seeds YouTube account to offer a continuous stream of rare live performances, music videos, promos, interviews, and even some previously unseen content.
Throughout the course of writing this article, this writer’s watched videos for “Animal X” and “More News From Nowhere,” as well as an immersive live performance of “Red Right Hand” that highlights the singer’s explosive showmanship. But don’t take our word for it: Cave himself took to Twitter to laud Bad Seed TeeVee as “Pure non-stop joy.”
Per NME, the 24/7 stream will continue “for the foreseeable,” and will cycle through its wealth of content on “a continuous random shuffle.” .

“But I’m not going to tell you about a girl. I’m not going to tell you about a girl…”
Dear God, seeing “Red Right Hand” live is damn near a religious experience.
“Stagger Lee” too. I was unfortunately in the seated section of the Sydney Opera House when I saw the Bad Seeds, and that song made you feel like you were in the front row getting crushed by the entire crowd. insane
This is one of my favorite videos on YouTube, the band (and Cave in particular) is barely keeping it together except for the lewdly professional Tracey Pew, fucking away at his bass:
GODDAMN was that band such a JOY
Live 81-82 is one of the greatest live albums ever made. Fucking unstoppable.
