Some interesting observations, (but all a bit trainspotterish ?) and I take umbrage with "The other development was that The Go-Betweens gradually became huge on the live circuit." on page 24 (talking about the period after the release of "Springhill Fair").

Like as huge as support act to Aztec Camera ? I saw them many times and the biggest venue was the Town and Country Club in London. Hardly an arena !

I have been slowly working my way through this. It's got a LOT of information and is entertaining but it's written as if the author is using methamphetamine. He can't seem to stick to an idea and develop it to save his soul without wandering off on yet another tangent. I keep expecting him to write "now, where was I before I started talking about x?" I am literally only halfway through. I think I'm going to explore some of his (her?) writings on British soul acts. That's been an interest of mine for many years and this blogger obviously favors the uncommon and unknown.
