These three videos for Nick Cave's new project Grinderman all follow the same basic template: Gritty performance mixed with prominent placement of the band's logo and the spider monkey that serves as the album art. "No Pussy Blues" adds sleazy tawdriness to the mix with lots of dirty, violent, literally animalistic sex. "Electric Alice," meanwhile, is basically the come down from that frenzied high. "No Pussy Blues" has the most cheap thrills, so I assume you'll jump right there, but all three are worthwhile if you want to see that even the most respectable and literate post punk legend can still slum with the best of them. --> watch "Grinderman" and "No Pussy Blues" and "Electric Alice" via Epitaph's Video Player (which lets you view streaming Flash versions or download MPEG or iPod formatted versions)
