The set must have sounded pretty different.

It didn't sound like the Bad Seeds any more. We didn't know if it would be a good or bad idea, but we ventured into the studio for five days improvising in Metropolis studios [in 2006]. We made it up on the spot, but we were emboldened to go on and make a proper record.

How did Grinderman originate?

We had this other venture that never had a name and we were playing a lot of concerts around Europe. Nick and Warren [Ellis, guitar] had been doing that for a while with Jim White [drummer from the Dirty Three] but when Marty [P Casey, bass] and I joined it rapidly turned into a rather tumultuous, raunchy and raucous affair! Prior to that it had just been an intimate evening with Nick Cave at the piano with light accompaniment.

Never a man for a pipe and slippers approach, Nick Cave's early musical expression came in the form of the bugged-out punk screech of Aussie bad boys

The Birthday Party. But in 1983 he

hit on some languorous piano magic and launched a 25-year-long career with new band the Bad Seeds, who soon became the elder statesmen for a black-hearted take on religion, politics and the classic sex and death combo, the murder ballad. Following
collaborations with Cave's then girlfriends PJ Harvey and Kylie, and composing the odd film soundtrack along the way, in 2006 an opportunity to return to the wild side of gothic exploration presented itself. Cave, guitarist Warren Ellis, bass player Martyn P Casey and percussionist Jim Sclavunos started a risque blues-rock alter ego that would infect the Bad Seeds' blood too. Here Jim takes us down the dark alley leading to the Grinderman lair.

Apple vs Adobe fight is over

Adobe draws line under row over Flash but defends approach

A dobe CEO Shantanu Narayen has drawn a line under his ** company's very public row with Apple over the lack of Flash on the iOS platform. In a recent interview in The Wall Street Journal, Narayen was asked whether Adobe and Apple were "done having the argument" over Flash. His response: "Absolutely".

Last year, Apple CEO Steve Jobs blamed Flash for being the most common cause of crashes among Mac OS X systems and said that it was unsuitable for mobile devices. At the time,
Narayen responded by saying Mac OS X was the

more likely cause of most Flash-related crashes.    ^^tm

Despite drawing a line under the row, he argued that Adobe's approach is still very much multiplatform and said that applications compiled in Adobe AIR can be easily converted for iOS. He has also said that Apple's dominance of the tablet market will soon come to an end, with tablets based on Google's Android coming to the fore.
