* CompleteMonster: ''Music/MurderBallads''' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1eSP8emrgg The Curse of Millhaven]]": [[VillainProtagonist Loretta]], better known as [[AxCrazy Lottie]], is a [[TeensAreMonsters psychotic 14-year-old]] whose sadistic, prolific murders are mistaken for some sort of curse upon her hometown. First, she [[WouldHurtAChild murders a young boy]] by bashing in his head, and hides his body in a creek. She then [[OffWithHisHead decapitates]] a handyman and leaves his head in a fountain, and stabs her neighbor to death. After getting caught, she happily describes the rest of her crimes in detail: on top of the murders, she had taken down warning signs around a lake in late winter, resulting in the deaths of 20 children, and committed arson around a slum, burning it and its inhabitants to the ground. When captured, her only regret is that she couldn't do more.

--->"I understand that ChatGPT is in its infancy but perhaps that is the emerging horror of AI – that it will forever be in its infancy, as it will always have further to go, and the direction is always forward, always faster. It can never be rolled back, or slowed down, as it moves us toward a utopian future, maybe, or our total destruction. Who can possibly say which? Judging by this song ‘in the style of Nick Cave’ though, it doesn’t look good, Mark. The apocalypse is well on its way. This song sucks."

** In response to one question about Nicolas Cage and another question about whether he ever adds an untrue component to a story to make it seem more interesting than it actually is, Cave weaves a probably-made-up yarn about visiting a zoo and purchasing a didgeridoo and happening to run into Cage on the way.
** Cave is forced to admit that he and his wife, Susie, have accidentally adopted a squirrel and named it Chaos. Or rather, the squirrel has adopted them.

** As for specific tracks on ''Skeleton Tree'', "Distant Sky" stands out as especially tear jerking. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Rk5gRVvf4Yc During one live performance of the song]], Nick visibly tears up while singing the second verse:
--> They told us our gods would outlive us
--> They told us our dreams would outlive us
--> They told us our gods would outlive us
--> But they lied
