Nick Cave just released a special edition skateboard with some help from Australian board company Fast Times. The deck includes the following inscription from Cave's 2004 song "Nature Boy":
She moves among the flowers
She floats upon the smoke
She moves among the shadows
She moves me with just one look
Check out the somewhat-NSFW artwork -- including tropical foliage surrounding a naked woman with a bowlful of spaghetti for hair -- below (via Pitchfork):
The site also put up this skate video featuring the song, though Cave's special deck design is nowhere to be found:
Cave, 57, has been recording since the late 1970s with multiple bands, but has released records with The Bad Seeds since the '80s.
It's taken awhile to get mainstream respect: Their albums have been trending up on the charts for some time, and 2013's Push the Sky Away finally reached No. 1 in several countries.
Cave's skateboarding venture wasn't the only non-music project he's pursued in the past year; he also starred in a fake documentary about his life, 20,000 Days.
"The only fly-on-the-wall stuff in the movie is the recording studio," Cave said of the film, which was created by Ian Forsyth and Jane Pollard. "The idea was that everything in 20,000 Days on Earth was filmic. We used sets. Nothing is real. We felt I would be able to be more free and myself in a constructed scenario than I would be if they came bursting into my house with a camera, which never would have happened. I would have no interest in doing that. I just don't see the point."
