"The clothes make the man."

The above line, if I remember correctly, which I probably don't, is spoken by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, resplendent in a red suit, as he stands behind a hotel desk in Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train". It is a sentiment that has clearly been taken to heart by Warren Ellis, hirsute Dirty Three violinist and Nick Cave's present (red) right-hand man, according to this highly entertaining, albeit woefully edited, piece at The Quietus. We could all learn a thing or two from it.
