Amanda Brown's soundtrack to Son Of A Lion. She made it with Sydney-based Afghan, Persian and Lebanese music. Streets Of Your Town, it ain't. | ||

That should have said musicians, not music, above, of course. Robert needs to make an album with Brisbane-based African musicians in response. Actually, I could just about see that happening (not sure there are that many African musicians in Brisbane though. Most Africans coming to Australia seem to be in Melbourne and Sydney). | ||

Amanda definitely wins. Incognito, too, is very bluesy and un-Go-Betweens sounding, although not Lebanese! The closest the GBs ever came to "world music" might have been in "a picture of her at the pyramids," or perhaps in the "valley of Tin-Pan." | ||

What about the least Go-Betweens-sounding Go-Betweens songs? I nominate "Don't Call Me Gone." | ||

I would love to have heard them do more Don't Call Me Gone-like moments. I know a lot of people hereabouts hate that song, but I've always thought it was an enjoyable bit of fun. | ||

I'm one of those people hereabouts who hate that song, and I'm happy it was relegated to a b-side and that they never dabbled in that again. |
