For some reason, all of a sudden, my google image results don't allow me to see the jpg link, so here's a video instead. Lately I've disappeared down the rabbit hole of a single band's discography, which I sometimes do, and have been playing nothing but The Go-Betweens, a fantastic but perennially unsuccessful Aussie band who had twin singer-songwriters, influential arrangements and playing, and who in their early days split the difference somewhere between The Beatles and The Birthday Party.

This is from their debut, Send Me A Lullaby
I went to school with David Jackson’s kids & he used to occasionally turn up and give us music lessons or talk about weird music instruments, like the autoharp. Top bloke and an insanely gifted musician.

Indeed he is, saw them a couple of times back in the day.
The Old Grey Whistle Test retrospective on BBC4. One hour out of three in and I'm bored stupid already. Whspering Bob Harris is dull as f***. I have to switch off and put The Prodigy Experience on instead.

Aye, been ****ing tedious, hence why I’ve resorted to cracking out some legit classics.
