Re: (TV) Go-Betweens



Yes, the "reunionalbum" was a very pleasant surprise. Also check out Forsters solo stuff, I really love "Danger In The Past"! Seeing Go-Betweens for the first time back in the mid-eighties I was really shocked seeing Forster. Hadn't expected to see one of the singers in this "friendly" little popband dressed up in Madonna Like A Virgin outfit. He seems to be the opposite to McLennan, long, comic and really odd.

i actually think the new Go-Betweens album "The Friends of Rachel Worth" is
the best one yet ... especially the Robert Forster songs like German
Farmhouse and Spirit.

| To respond to Micah's query on Pontrelli's Masterpiece of the week:
"Liberty
| Belle & Black Diamond Express" is my all time favorite Go-betweens album
| (and I love them all).  Same year, different band, same island continent:
| The Triffids album Sandy Born Devotional. If you like them, check out Paul
| Kelly & the Coloured Girls album "Gossip" (changed to Paul Kelly & the
| Messengers here in US; the Aussie moniker is in reference to a line in the
| Lou Reed song "Walk On the Wild Side) . Absolutely wonderful ear candy.
| Along with The New Christs, Chris Bailey's verion of the Saints, Mental As
| Anything, The Hoodoo Gurus, that was one hell of a year over in Oz.
|
| And on Phillip's request that new members provide their history
| (observations, etc.): I first heard the Verlaine/Lloyd interlinking
guitars
| in an independent record shop  when Marquee Moon blasted from the
speakers.
| I grabbed that, the Little Johnny Jewel single and the Ubu 12" EP
Datapanik
| in the Year Zero and ran out the door.  Never been the same since.
