Live From KCRW is distinguished not just by its loose, casual vibe—with Cave good-naturedly honoring audience requests, provided they’re “on this very short list”—but by its welcome variations from the standard Bad Seeds script with a healthy selection of deep cuts that don't get aired out that often. It begins with Push the Sky Away’s hazy-headed pocket history of modern civilization, “Higgs Boson Blues”, whose Miley Cyrus name-drops elicit audible giggles from the studio attendees. Its appearance here underscores just how perfectly Cave predicted her year, with the line “Hannah Montana/ Does the African Savannah” standing as an almost biblical prophecy of twerk-gate. And the song establishes a marked contrast here between the playful audience interaction and the solemnly reverential readings of some of the most understatedly devastating songs in the Cave songbook. The four Push the Sky Away selections find complementary counterparts in the sublimely sinister Your Funeral My Trial standout “Stranger Than Kindess”, the hymn-like title track to 2001’s No More Shall We Part, and two selections from Cave’s other “quiet” album, The Boatman’s Call: the bittersweet anti-anthem “People Ain’t No Good” and an absolutely stunning “Far From Me” that allows more room for Conway Savage’s funereal organ lines to shine, transforming it from a simple break-up song to a requiem for the ruined relationship chronicled within.
