Burning mics full-time

Reported by ben

It is with a heavy heart that I report some truly sad news. The end of an era has come for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as Blixa Bargeld has parted company with the Bad Seeds. Blixa had this to say, "My leaving has nothing to do with artistic or personal differences with the band, I just feel it is time to concentrate on other creative areas in my life." Blixa has been a core member of the band since around the time The Birthday Party melted into Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. That's about 20 years for those counting. Blixa will continue to work in his other legendary band, Einstürzende Neubauten, as well as various other interesting thingies.

I am in denial.
