Sorry matey, been really busy. How about a couple of Nick Cave duets. There's obviously the Kylie and PJ Harvey songs, also the Shane McGowan - all from the Murder Ballads album but instead I'll offer these two:

Two of my biggest musical heroes here, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash covering Hank Williams "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

I'm not sure this counts as a musical collaboration or not but here's a scene from Johnny Suede with Nick Cave singing to Brad Pitt. Check out the haircuts.

Here's an absolutely brilliant pairing: Billy Mackenzie, lead singer of 80s indie darlings The Associates and electro-rockers Apollo 440. It comes from the Apollo 440 album "Electro Glide In Blue" which is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest albums of all time. There's not a single track on it that's not a bona fide classic. This particular track is also the best track on it by a country mile. The song is beautiful, the lyrics are pure evil. Epic doesn't begin to describe it.

It's also the last song Mackenzie ever recorded. He took his own life shortly afterwards

One of the dullest gigs I saw was santana at Earl's court (76). Eric Burdon, supporting, was good though. I saw McL at Reading in 75. The original Mahavishnu Orchestra but with Jean Luc Ponty in place of Jerry Goodman (I think)....TBH a long way from anything I listen to today....:lolol:

Gonna have to pick you up on this one. The Miley Cyrus / Flaming Lips collaboration isn't so unusual when you realise that it coincides with Wayne Coyne's mid-life crisis and it's made him a very pervy old man. He seems obsessed with getting people (especially women) naked. There was a gig that he proposed, I don't know if it ever came about, where he wanted everyone naked. And he also has form with female musicians. A couple of years ago he did a few songs with Erykah Badu and then with Amanda Palmer. Guess what, the videos have them each stark naked in a bath of blood (or something like that if I recall).

Maybe I'm doing him a disservice but it does look an awful lot like it to me. It's also coincided with an appallingly bad and lazy string of covers albums. Nick Cave went through a similar phase, the nadir being that God awful moustache that he grew.
