There's a lot to him. In my mis-spent youth, I found myself particularly fond of The Birthday Party, in particular "Mutiny In Heaven" and "Blundertown".
Actually, the idea of Nick Cave planting his roots in Brighton did remind me of a lot of Blundertown, although it lyrically based on a river rather than the sea. In the movie there was mention of how many of his diary entries were based on a psychoanalysis of Brighton's stormy weather. One very amusing entry was "I can control the weather with my moods. I just can't control my moods".

It was very J.G. Ballard...
