Surprised no one's beat me to this, but here's Robert in discussion with New Yorker pop music writer Sasha Frere-Jones.

A nice way to wake up on a sunday morning.
I remember someone here writing about "Songs". I went into JB the next day, not really looking for it in particular and came out with "Verses". BIG mistake!
Can anyone find it on Amazon or iTunes?
Try searching for it...impossible task!
One of the Songs songs (off "Songs") on the myspace site sounds very Go-Betweens - no wonder Robert liked them.

Watching it right now. Thanks for the link Rob.

Geoff, Songs were great. I saw them live supporting The Chills. It's probably me who wrote about them here previously.

Thanks for that link Rob ! Shame in the sense that I didn't feel much empathy between the two.

Next time get Pádraig in there...

PS Wonder what song Robert played ?
