With Janet Weiss leaving Sleater-Kinney, the old confusion about Sleater-Kinney's role in the Go-Betweens seems to be on the rise.

This from Rolling Stone (US): "Like the rest of Sleater-Kinney, she(Janet) backed up the Go-Betweens on their 2000 reunion The Friends of Rachel Worth." https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music -features/janet-weiss-drum-goddess-sleat er-kinney-855098/

Unless I'm completely misremembering, the extent of Sleater-Kinney's involvement was Janet playing drums on Rachael Worth. There wasn't any other "back(ing) up" of the band by SK.

Do I have this right or am I confused?

Wow! For a self-described Go-Betweens know-it-all, this has me rethinking my "know-it-all"-ness!

The Jetset CD single for "Going Blind" says guitar by Carrie, vocals by Corin and Janet on drums and vocals. However the single also features "Woman Across the Way" and "The Locust Girls" and doesn't specify lineups for the individual songs. The Jetset "Rachel Worth" CD gives the exact same information, also not specifying lineups for the individual songs.
