On The Air: Secondhand Furniture

On The Air: Secondhand Furniture The Go Betweens: Secondhand Furniture [ purchase ] On a pair of Autumn days in 1984, The Go Betweens appeared on John Peel's BBC radio show and performed four songs that would become available on an EP. They'd just completed Spring Hill Fair, their third album. Their single "Bachelor Kisses" was getting some airplay and the band was in terrific form--bouncy, edgy, tight. You can hear early Talking Heads and Gang of Four, I suppose, but the band's songwriters Grant McLennan and Robert Forster also approached lyrics [...]

Cloud Control: Bliss Release

Cloud Control: Bliss Release Turnout Records, 2011 Australians have always seemed to run a strange horse in the race of the hipster-driven aughts. Though arguably having a heavy hand in shaping and defining modern indie pop with acts like Architecture in Helsinki , most Aussie bands since then - whether by systematic design or their own disinterest and ineptitude - have failed to make any significant splash on our end of the Earth. Even local legend Nick Cave - boasting a revolving-door band of Bad Seeds that hail from so many different countries that Australia is often nothing more [...]

Cut Off Your Hands – Hollow

Cut Off Your Hands – Hollow Rating: 4 out of 5 stars With their first album, You & I , you sort of had the feeling that New Zealand outfit Cut Off Your Hands might have been yearning for the British Isles, but with their release of Hollow , the band has completed their maturation, giving fans a full-on venture into the sounds of the Oceanic region of the world. "You Should Do Better" begins with a rolling drum beat, and chiming guitars, [...]

Love goes on

The Go-Betweens - Was There Anything I Could Do?
Today marks the fifth anniversary of the death of Go-Betweens co-founder Grant McLennan at the age of 48. On May 6th 2006, preparing for a party at his home in Brisbane, Grant complained of feeling unwell and went upstairs for a rest; he died in his room shortly afterwards from a heart attack. Grant was one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation and one of my all-time musical heroes, so I think it only right that I use this blog to commemorate him and remind people of what an exceptional talent we lost on that shitty [...]

Music Review: The Black Watch - Led Zeppelin Five

Jingle-jangle pop from a great and veteran indie rock band.

Right Here

Right Here Right here - The Go-Betweens I submit that the Go-Betweens were less in love with and an embodiment of the city of Brisbane than Brisbane wanted/wants them to be. Especially at this point in their career. Take that.

The Radio Dept. covers The Go-Betweens

The Radio Dept. covers The Go-Betweens Friendly Noise Sweden's Radio Dept. have a pretty singular sound when compared to the rest of the pop music landscape - making static and melancholy gleam and glisten as they do is easier said than done - but their musical genome is actaully pretty easy to map. That they use take texture from Jesus & Mary Chain and balance it with Belle & Sebastian's soft, open heart is most obvious but the swooningly sophisticated pop sensibilities of, say, The Go-Betweens might be overlooked at first - or at least [...]

Love Goes On

Love Goes On Love goes on - The Go-Betweens Maybe it's the circles i run in, and the pitiful amount of time i spend socially in any circle, but i've never heard anyone refer to the person they kiss a lot as their "lover". I know this song was released in 1988, but does it still happen? Is "lover" the proper pet name to use in sophisticated company, and the use of any other epithet grounds to shun further? Something tells me it might be. If i'm [...]

Song of the Day

Song of the Day The Go-Betweens go country and western - with outrageously catchy consequences. As Grant explained in the sleeve notes of The Go-Betweens 1978-90 : "I've always liked country music. This is a typical mix of pathos and sentimentality in the tradition of George Jones and Tammy Wynette. It comes close to pastiche but The Go-Betweens seldom genre-hop so this is what it is."

FP Top 5 International: Bands from Australia

FP Top 5 International: Bands from Australia (Our Weekly Wednesday Countdown) Most American music fans are intimately familiar with the history of popular music in their home country and that of Great Britain. Occasionally a popular act will surface from less familiar shores ( Sweden , Iceland, France ), but for the most part we Yanks remain musically isolationist. Whether this is a result of the complexities of record importation, a general unfamiliarity with other languages, or a vague American preference for familiarity, it remains an unfortunate fact. We at [...]

Nada Surf Recorded a Covers Album?

Nada Surf - Bright Side (Soft Pack Cover)
Yes, yes they did. In fact, If I Had a Hi-Fi dropped two months ago and was on sale even earlier than that, exclusively on their recent Spring tour should you care to know. They covered the likes of Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Spoon and The Go-Betweens. Above is one cut thereof, the one-time "Buzzworthy" trio freshening up The Soft Pack's "Bright Side." It's good. Real good.
