Listening again, as I have been a lot lately, to various Robert rarities. | ||

Cattle And Cane. It's good to remind yourself of its genius. | ||

How about one I don't play often enough....Before Hollywood. They sounded great as a three piece, and I generally don't like three pieces. | ||

Crooked Lines is a great song. Fantastic vocal from Grant. | ||

I don't know how well-known this 1984 Peel Session is, but it was just posted before the New Year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNfwZ6D9a nQ | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5438 Registered: 05-2005 |
I have it on CD Stuart. iTunes is selling it pretty cheap. Nice to be reminded of its existence. I'm listening to it through the YouTube link now. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5439 Registered: 05-2005 |
Really wonderful to hear that again. It's a great session. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 786 Registered: 10-2006 |
Wasn't it a strange choice of songs for that particular moment? I'd've thought they'd be pushing SHF, with stuff like Bachelor Kisses, Draining the pool, Part company... | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5444 Registered: 05-2005 |
They were odd choices alright Stuart. All the better for it I think. | ||

Track list, for those unfamiliar with it. The Power That I Now Have Secondhand Furniture Five Words Rare Breed | ||
| Richard May Member Username: Richm Post Number: 15 Registered: 07-2010 |
I've always loved the versions of Five Words and Rare Breed on that Peel session. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 788 Registered: 10-2006 |
Sire must have been delighted - pack the buggers of to France to record the album, book them into a Peel session, and get a ten minute version of a b-side...it shows independence of spirit, of course,but a little bit of salesmanship mightn't have hurt them! | ||

Bachelor Kisses, Acoustic Stories DVD version. I hope this set gets a proper CD release one day. Maybe on the box set we all hope will eventually come? | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5474 Registered: 05-2005 |
Cleopatra Wong - Baby For You, from the Cleopatra's Lament EP (1993). A great pop song. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5475 Registered: 05-2005 |
Cleopatra Wong - Dangerous Girl, from the Egg EP (1992). A haunting, brilliant song. Somewhere, on cassette, I have a Triple J acoustic version of this too. | ||

Right now, a self-compiled 20 track Go-Betweens compilation (also including one track each from Grant, Robert and Far Out Corporation). It's a great joy to hear Careless, which is playing at the moment. | ||

I'm listening to Jack Frost's Snow Job right now. I've not heard it in years. It sounds great. I bought the CD today, having previously had it on cassette. You very rarely see it for sale so I got it despite the fact it was $28. I'm glad I did. | ||
| Richard May Member Username: Richm Post Number: 17 Registered: 07-2010 |
Jack Frost's Snow Job is a really good album. I especially like "Little Song". | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5868 Registered: 05-2005 |
Yeah, that is a great song. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5873 Registered: 05-2005 |
Adele Pickvance - The Light That Guides You Home. Just a brilliant pop song. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5884 Registered: 05-2005 |
Sarah Blasko's version of Bye Bye Pride is on my iPod right now. And very good it is too. I love her voice. | ||

Listening to 1978-1990, the double CD Japanese version which includes all 28 tracks from the original vinyl release. I'd forgotten what a scratchy version of Karen this is, taken, as it is, from a needle drop. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5941 Registered: 05-2005 |
I just bought a Go-Betweens double 7", whose existence I'd been previously unaware of. It's a beautiful thing. A Right Here B When People Are Dead C A Little Romance D Don't Call Me Gone | ||
| Matsrep Member Username: Matsrep Post Number: 119 Registered: 10-2005 |
Great, the same songs are on the beautiful 12" single as well (if I remember it the right way). | ||
| C Gull Member Username: C_gull Post Number: 217 Registered: 05-2005 |
The Friends of Rachel Worth. Is it really 13 years since it was released? I remember the excitement of it coming out some 12 years after 16LL. It feels a bit of a forgotten gem to me now. In fact just listened to it as a whole for the first time in years - it sounds amazingly fresh. Surprising for an album (which I guess is not generally rated as high as many of their others) how many of the tracks became regular live tracks for the GBs and latterly Robert. But, Heart and Home - now there's one I'd completely forgotten - simply fantastic on a Sunday afternoon while working! | ||
| Richard May Member Username: Richm Post Number: 18 Registered: 07-2010 |
It's hard to believe that it was 13 years ago. I remember the excitement of a new Go-Betweens album (the first since I'd been a big fan)and rushing into town on the day of release to buy it. I still love it - in fact, I'm going to play it now :-) | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 6020 Registered: 05-2005 |
Hold Your Horses. Grant's solo version. | ||

Cattle And Cane. Nicky Wire of the Manics just played it on a show he's presenting on ABC Dig. Very cool. | ||

I HAVE THAT DOUBLE 7" single Padraig got it when it first came out-in the loft with my other singles I think, it is beautiful sleeve as I remember and added to their mystique with People Are Dead which I remember playing constantly in my basement room in Manor House | ||
