Laura Veirs - Where Gravity is Dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GqO0Rvf rP8 Mainly because it's fantastic! All the best for 2024, fellow Go-Betweens fans. The planet may be going to hell in to a handcart, but we'll always have the Go-Betweens! | ||

Talking Heads - Girlfriend is Better from Stop Making Sense. I went to see the remastered film yesterday, and it's as good as it ever was. I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair And nothing is better than that (is it?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r7X3f2g Fz4 | ||

New Radicals - You Get What You Give. It's 26 years old and still brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j91RZ01P ZwA | ||

Sherry Rich & The Grievous Angels - Wild Dogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLqjoyLf rY4 Any song that opens with 'Darling please listen 'cause I've got a gun and I plan to use it before the night is done" has to surely be worth a few minutes of your time ? A friend had put this song on a mix CD he made many years ago, but I never knew that the singer is Australian ! | ||

Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. The greatest French-American cross-pollination since the Statue of Liberty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvXeeus9 4GY | ||

Liam Gallagher & John Squire - Just Another Rainbow. The collaboration we didn't know we needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG3OUDq3 yJ8 | ||

Richard Hawley - Some Candy Talking. This fantastic cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain song was recorded for a CD that came with Q magazine in 2006. I would have included it in Hawley's best of that I mentioned in another thread, but I didn't get to pick the track list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4M6ix9b bw0 | ||

Five Year Plan - Martin Bramah By Tim Rippington's youthful band from the 1980s. My current degenerate method of listening to music in a huge random shuffle of over 5,000 songs that meet one of several criteria in my iPod means that I keep finding new favorites on releases I bought several years ago. Back in the 80s I had no idea of the existence of clever bands like the Go-Betweens, much less the uber obscure ones like Five Year Plan. My personal hierarchy of important bands from the era is totally different than it was back then. https://thefiveyearplan86.bandcamp.com/a lbum/peacetime-broadcast | ||

Jess Williamson - Time Ain't Accidental https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jati994b BEU Any song that mentions Raymond Carver is worth a listen  | ||

Sneaking in a second if I may ? Adrianne Lenker - "Sadness As A Gift" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmycsQ30 obg Songwriting of the highest order ! | ||

Soft Covers - The Real Housewives of Porpoise Spit https://softcovers.bandcamp.com/track/th e-real-housewives-of-porpoise-spit or video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HUjv9yS NQk This is found on their newish (October 2023) first album Soft Serve. Yet another lovely, understated Melbourne band. | ||

Divine Comedy - Absent friends Hannon gets several mentions in the Linehan memoir mentioned elsewhere. I sometimes briefly forget what a great songwriter he is. I wonder why this particular selection of friends? Woodbine Willie is a bit of an outlier, worth research. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdL4D1TZ tI4 | ||

I like some of Neil Hannon's story telling in song. 'A lady of a certain age'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU_bGYaa 3FY | ||

Another fine lyric and a rousing version of The Divine Comedy – Tonight we fly at: 1:42:47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTuTFXkJ xNI | ||
