So it’s even more Aussie 80’s music for this Sunday and making it back to back this and last weekend! I just did finish reading Robert Forster’s wicked book about them called Grant & I which I should post a blog about it too but I still haven’t done the one about The Triffids yet, which was before or was it after? Maybe I will try to blog something about both of them before the end of this month, OK? Once again I’m not tell you any bio details just some books that I might blog about later! I don’t think I will tell anything more, if you don’t know about them? Just listen to these songs which I hope you enjoy them?
Karen – non-album single (1978)
Hold Your Horses – Send Me A Lullaby (1981)
Cattle And Cane – Before Hollywood (1983)
Draining the Pool for You – Spring Hill Fair (1984)
The Wrong Road – Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express (1986)
The House That Jack Kerouac Built – Tallulah (1987)
Dive for Your Memory – 16 Lovers Lane (1988)
Surfing Magazines – The Friends of Rachel Worth (2000)
Darlinghurst Nights – Oceans Apart (2005)
Here Come A City – Oceans Apart (2005)
Well, it’s one from 70’s, six from 80’s, three from 2000’s reunion and if I did had to pick just one The Go-Betweens album it would easy be Oceans Apart, no joke!
So what are your own fave song/s by them? If you got them? Why not share, please?
Cheers 🙂

Four of those make my list, including Darlinghurst Nights which is easily my favourite song from Mark II.

Have you noticed how similar ‘Karen’ is to Patti Smith’s ‘Dancing Barefoot’?

My blog has pages and posts – you wouldn’t get notified when I make a page. I’m actually working on that page at the moment, going through Robert Forster’s solo stuff (although I only have a couple of albums plus Intermission). The Evangelist from 2006 is pretty good – it’s the most balanced of the solo albums since it’s got some songs that Grant was working on before he died.

You should catch ‘The Sandy Shores’ (featuring a couple of Go-Betweens) next time they play, William. http://www.sandy-shores.com.au/

I’m sorry to be so repetitious …. I tend to keep flogging the offerings of friends. To be honest,I was never a great go-betweens fan, but always acknowledged their unquestionable talents.
