video: nick cave & the bad seeds. stagger lee.

this song from nick cave & the bad seeds' murder ballads has everything in a great gratuitous manner: "motherfuckers," murder, sexism, and rape. the video is great because they could've copped out and done a really bizarre narrative sequence, which would have been really literal and awkward (esp. considering the story here - i don't think people really want to see that). instead we've got the bad seeds jamming the fuck out while nick and some male go-go dancers prance around in a great homoerotic fashion. it's pretty goddamn mind blowing.
