It’s not available in an easily embeddable format just yet, but really, you owe it to yourself to watch the video for Nick Cave’s “Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!” in the widescreen format provided by his (and the Bad Seeds’) official site. Because it’s just our man Nick, with his hair slicked back and his moustache wide, vamping it up while in front of a green screen blaring “traveling” footage–so it looks like he’s taking a trip around the globe, although in reality he probably moved about four feet during the whole time. (Note to Janet Jackson: This is how you make a video on a budget.)

Shades of the Adam West BATMAN.
Is that the official release title, BTW - with three exclamation points?
Even though he’s had it for over a year now, I still can’t get used to the mustache. He looks like a Carlito’s Way bit player.
I want that strut.
I though Billy Bob Thorton already had a band…
Some of my favorite parts of this are when he flubs the lip-sync. Does that mean I’m getting a crush on Nick Cave that?
Wow, great song and video. Let’s see that again.
