Bumping into him can cause serious injury (well, a very painful funny bone, anyway). Mick Harvey rules. One of the funniest things I've ever seen is the bit in the Bad Seeds video collection where the band are talking about one rather pretentious video (can't remember what song it was for) and Nick Cave is talking very seriously and quite flowerily about why it didn't work, when Mick Harvey says, in tones of pure exasperation, "it was fuckin' stupid!"

Have to say though, I thought it was quite a disappointing gig. He had a double bass player and a guy on keys and he just needed a fuller band. Edel, Una - guess what? Whelan's wasn't ready. The gig had to be moved to the Village and apparently there's another week or so of work in it. But I hear that freaky man statue is gone! Donagh, I haven't heard that so I must try and pick it up.

I didn't know it was being refurbished either, but then its a long time since I've been, although there was a while when I never seemed to be out of the place. Mick Harvey has an excellent Serge Gainsbourg tribute album, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Intoxicated-Man-Mick-Harvey/dp/B000003Z44" rel="nofollow">Intoxicated Man</a>. Worth checking out.
