Does anyone actually give a shit about the Go Betweens at ALL?

demonrail666 · 06.26.2007, 07:17 PM

I mean honestly.

porkmarras · 06.26.2007, 07:18 PM

I like all of which I've heard. I tried asking around for some Go Betweens vinyl but everyone seemed to think that it was a silly question.

demonrail666 · 06.26.2007, 07:51 PM

Was that because you meant you wanted vinyl specifically?

Norma J · 06.26.2007, 08:14 PM

I was in a secondhand store that specialises in vinyl.

Toilet & Bowels · 06.26.2007, 08:15 PM

i've got one of their albums and it has some nice songs on it, i ought to look into their other records really

demonrail666 · 06.26.2007, 08:18 PM

It's just weird that they're almost famous for being unknown, but I thought they'd had some kind of indian summer of success, or something. But now they seem even less popular than ever. Truly one of the great musical mysteries of our time.

Norma J · 06.26.2007, 08:20 PM

In what country do you live, demonrail?

demonrail666 · 06.26.2007, 08:22 PM

Iceland. It's all fucking Bjork and Sigur Ros around here.

I actually found Bellavista Terrace: The Best of the Go-Betweens, today.

Fine band.

demonrail666 · 06.27.2007, 01:53 AM

What's their reputation like in Australia? In Europe they have this massive (almost obsessive) cult following that can never quite understand how they never really made it bigger. I don't think they have much of a following at all in the States.

Norma J · 06.27.2007, 01:57 AM

They don't have much of a following here. I'm sure alot of people into music in the 80s would all know of the Go-Betweens, but as a whole these days, I never hear about them from people. Although a bunch of musicians here all got together and put on a Go-Betweens tribute gig which was pretty fuckin' cool which was aired nationally.

demonrail666 · 06.27.2007, 02:04 AM

That's sort of what I meant when I said they used to famously obscure. Now they're just obscure.

Norma J · 06.27.2007, 02:12 AM

In the cover of this album Robert Forster says something similar. I could quote it but my cat's laying on the case so I won't disturb him.
