Although this conversation took place on Facebook it could easily have happened on Twitter. And I'm wondering. Perhaps that guy was right after all. Perhaps you can (quite easily) review bands via brief sentences of 140 characters of less.

Bumped into Robert Forster in the supermarket two days ago. He complimented my French guest on his mustard-coloured T-shirt

I still find it strange that Grant McLennan is no longer with us.

As for "bad" Go-Betweens records:still preferable to many band's best efforts. Miss ya, Grant!

The records before they reunited were better but even the records in the 2000's were solid - very good (F.O.R.W. is my least fave).

Agreed, F.O.R.W. is the sound of Forster at his most awkward and tentative, but came brilliant again by Oceans Apart.

Um, surely the sound of Forster at his most awkward and tentative is when the genius of Forster shines through?

"He Lives My Life" is very fine indeed for that very reason.

A fair point, agreed. But 'Surfing Magazines', 'German Farmhouse' and 'When She Sang About Angels' are not amongst RF's best. 'Spirit' is excellent though. I interviewed RF around the time of Bright Yellow, Bright Orange and he said he found TFORW difficult to make because it had been four years since he was in a studio.

She's a darlin' and looks oddly blind but beautiful.
