I'd love a copy, is that the one with Man O'Sand To Girl O'Sea on Disc 2? I only have that track on a vinyl compilation right now, and love it. I believe it is also on Spring Hill Fair, but have never picked that album up

Thanks, how will we manage that then?

Well LaLa is treating me well today… Someone is sending my way a Jack Frost CD with Grant and Steve Kilbey of the Church. Was described as psychedelic Go-Betweens which could be very cool indeed…

First Bon Scott, then Michael Hutchence, then Grant McClennan. What's up with the Aussies? Who can it be now?

I played Horsebreaker Star Sunday and Monday and enjoyed it, in spite of my wife calling it "mediocre" and "boring" and asking me who the Go Betweens were, and how would anybody know who they were.

I guess the moral of the story is that it's evil to sign with major labels.

According to somebody on the GBV listserv, The Go Betweens had just signed a deal with EMI and were having a celebratory party, McLennan went upstairs for a rest and died in his sleep

Excellent Brennser. My girlfriend raves about that video show Rage.

Cattle and Cane is such a damn good song.
