The old numbers sounded pretty fresh... http://www.flickr.com/photos/55867717@N00/sets/998453/ Speaking of David Thomas, I heard an amusing anecdote about him last night, related to me by Gavin Friday. The rather well connected producer Hal Wilner recently convened a bunch of top notch singers and players like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, David Thomas, and Gavin amongst others, to produce an album of work songs, sea shanties and such like. Hal Wilner, some people will remember, produced a Mingus tribute album in the early 90s called Weird Nightmare, with another choice lineup. Anyway, during one of the sessions, David Thomas had just done his ditty and was sitting with very large pizza spread out on a box, and Gavin says to him "Give us a bit of your pizza". "No" says Thomas. "Go on give us a bit" Gavin tries again. "No". And so on for a few exchanges, till Thomas finally says, "No. Do you know what I'm gonna do ? I'm gonna go to ma hotel room, get naked, eat pizza and watch football !!" and stormed off. Keep chewing the vaporub David...

Came across this on another list. Not a huge fan myself, but even so, terrible news. On the official Go-Betweens site today. 6th May 2006 Grant McLennan On Saturday 6th May, legendary Australian singer songwriter Grant W McLennan died in his sleep at his home in Brisbane. McLennan was one of Australia's greatest songwriters who created an outstanding musical legacy as a founder member of The Go-Betweens and as a solo artist. He was enjoying enormous acclaim for the band's most recent album Oceans Apart, which has received five star reviews around the world and won had a prestigious ARIA award. McLennan was born in Rockhampton, Queensland on 12th February 1958. While attending university in Brisbane he met fellow student Robert Forster and together they formed The Go-Betweens. After releasing a string of singles the band recorded their debut album, Send Me A Lullaby, in 1981. The Go-Betweens recorded a series of exceptional albums that achieved widespread critical acclaim and were fundamental in bringing Australian music to a global audience. He was an unparalleled lyricist and a prolific and meticulous composer. His auto-biographical masterpiece 'Cattle and Cane' was recently voted by the Australian Performing Rights Association as one of the ten greatest Australian songs of all time. In 1989 The Go-Betweens took a ten year sabbatical and McLennan recorded four powerful solo albums including the vivacious debut Watershed and the epic Horsebreaker Star as well as forming satellite groups like Jack Frost with Steve Kilbey of The Church and The Far Out Corporation with Iain Haug of Powderfinger. When Robert Forster and Grant McLennan reformed The Go-Betweens in 2000, the band was greeted with adulation by a new generation of musicians like Belle and Sebastian for whom, their songs had been an inspirational teenage soundtrack. The three albums the band subsequently released were universally acknowledged as containing some of McLennan's greatest compositions. McLennan was a passionate supporter of the arts, extremely well-read and maintained a keen interest in all contemporary music, cinema and visual art. He was an exceptionally charming and polite man who endeared himself to everyone who met him and was one of the rare individuals worthy of the epithet 'larger than life'. His singular contribution to music and his commitment to his craft simply cannot be understated. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his mother, sister, girlfriend Emma and lifetime musical colleague Robert Forster.
