Evil. Sparkly evil.

Oh Nick Cave. Your sense of humour is one of the more appealing things with you. But you also got a keen sense of design. Take a look at this Record Store Day exclusive 12" of Evil, from the latest Grinderman album. The cover looks soo good. Matte black and then reflective big red EVIL. Nothing else on the front, just some tiny label-info on the back. The vinyl kept in another matte black cover sleeve.

The vinyl itself? Red. But not just red. SPARKLY red. Is this Nick Cave taking a subtle dig at Twilight? Very possible. Photos can't capture the full sparkliness of it, but trust me when I say it sparkles like Bowie in the morning sun.

And the the final touch is the catalogue number. 12MUTE666. Because what other number could it be? None, I tell you. None. And a bonus CD with all the tracks is included as well. Good consumer service, goood consumer service.

The video is cool too. Very very simple. There is a vampire squid (yes, that is a real species) and a yellow bird. That is all needed for Evil.
