Considering the RPS climate right now, this one's Friends Only - I suspect this is gonna be something I play with for a while and drop anyway. This sort of thing is fun to speculate but I'd feel very funny about actually writing RPF about anyone, especially ol' Nick ;-) It would just feel wrong.
But if I wanted to...
1- "The Weeping Song" video clip. Cuddly much? Aside, Nick and Blixa are both looking fucking good in that vid ;-)
2- Nick's comments re said clip. "I like the dancing in that one. I think we look like two old, gay businessmen at a disco".
3- Nick's comments on his and Blixa's early friendship "We moved to Berlin together and were very good friends...very good friends. We spent a lot of time together...waging the war against sleep, as Blixa would put it. We didn't go to sleep much, basically". Later on: "The time in Berlin changed my life, taught me not to care what other people thought of me". Hm. Might be talking about the drugs. Might not be.
4- "Stagger Lee" lyrics. "Furthermore I'll fuck Billy Dilly in his motherfuckin' ass...I'll crawl across fifty good pussies just to get to one fat boy's asshole" (I never said he was couth!)
5- "Stagger Lee" videoclip, complete with two glorious male dancers and vague homoerotic behaviour from a few of the band members, mainly Thomas and Mick. And who knew Nicky could wiggle like that? One of the most homoerotic video clips I've ever seen. And fuck! Mick is built!!
6- Blixa's eye makeup. He looks like a pixie sometimes. Nice when juxtaposed with that *deeeep* voice. Adorable ;-)
7- Nick's going drag every once in a while, and his laconic description of the experience shooting the "Do You Love Me" video in Sao Paulo. "I had only about ten minutes to get myself looking good, which I didn't really succeed in doing. The transvestites were all highly offended and called me an 'ugly bitch'. That's why I'm sulking".
8- Blixa singing Kylie's part in the duet when Kylie's not available.
9- "Cocks and Asses"
10- "The Garden Duet" lyrics, and the fact Nick sings both parts. It does things for me, hearing that voice sing: "I'd open my legs for him..."
11- "Henry" lyrics.
12- That pic of Nick and Thomas Wydler.
13- That pic of Nick and, oh damn, that bloke who was in the Birthday Party. Name's curently escaping me.
14- That pic of Nick and Blixa I have as my LJ pic.
15- That pic of Nick and Blixa full-on *kissing* (thanks Nige!!)
This is damned difficult to articulate. One of the cool things about LJ is being able to worry at these things til they make sense. I'll see if I can hammer this out in my head. I actually see N as a het boy, and *like* it that way and sort of see the slashiness as something that rounds his character. Nothing cooler than a straight guy who's cooler than cool with the gay thing, and I kind of get this impression. Could be utterly wrong. The songs about dysfunctional sexuality and dysfunctional relationships, child abuse, rape, murder, substance abuse - I get a picture of a pretty hectic personal life, not, of course, knowing which, if any, elements of the songs are autobiographical and which aren't.
