Note misquoting of lines from "Darlinghurst Nights": http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/g/go-betweens/oceans-apart.shtml   Graham Twyford Member Username: Graham_twyford Post Number: 8 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Tuesday, May 17, 2005 - 08:43 pm:    Yeah I saw that. Unbelievably lazy review. 'Gone are the masturbatory Coldplay-sized string arrangements that plagued the previous two albums'. What strings? I can only think of 'He lives my life'. Did he actually listen to the last 2 albums??? Christ.   Mark Leydon Member Username: Mark_leydon Post Number: 3 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2005 - 12:09 am:    Adam Moerder is a nitwit. If you are going to slam a song for poor lyrics, at least get the lyrics correct. Its 'Gut rock cappuccino etc.' not 'Got rock cappacino....'. Especially lazy considering the lyrics are included with the CD.   Mark Leydon Member Username: Mark_leydon Post Number: 4 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2005 - 04:34 am:    umm - I meant 'Gut rot cappuccino etc'.   James Member Username: James Post Number: 9 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2005 - 10:21 am:    The man is an arse   Donat Member Username: Donat Post Number: 44 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2005 - 02:07 pm:    I don't think that Darlinghurst Nights has a shout-out to Died Pretty. I guess he didn't realise that Frank Brunetti was (is?) a music journalist and if he did, the lyric would make a lot more sense- maybe. Interesting humour in his review, though.   Enrico Bongiovanni Member Username: Boil Post Number: 3 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Friday, May 20, 2005 - 07:50 am:    uhm, anyway, for not anglophones, what does "gut rot capuccino" mean?   Graham Twyford Member Username: Graham_twyford Post Number: 11 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Friday, May 20, 2005 - 08:06 am:    I think it's probably an Australian way of saying 'bad' capuccino.   William Member Username: Weesam Post Number: 5 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Friday, May 20, 2005 - 04:44 pm:    gut rot means stomach ache. It's a British English expression. "that ruby murray gave me gut rot" - that curry gave me stomach ache   William Member Username: Weesam Post Number: 6 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Friday, May 20, 2005 - 04:47 pm:    further for the non-English: gut means stomach, rot is from rotten
