Last night I was lurking about the message boards of the Go-Betweens' website, like I am wont to do from time-to-time. I never actually post anything though...I just read what people have to say. A lot of it is interesting, but what I mainly look out for are posts from people close to the group, such as ex-members Lindy Morrison and Robert Vickers, and author David Nichols.
So last night I notice a thread created by Vickers called 'Myspaces,' which was interesting, because one does not think of Robert Vickers and Myspace at once. But there it was...he'd written that he's recently gotten into making Myspaces for his old bands, and he'd made a couple for the Colors and, of course, the Go-Betweens.
So I logged on to my account, which had been idle for ages. Actually, I only created it so that I could comment on Steve's (who sometimes leaves usually hilarious comments here) blog. I added the two bands to my friends list, and now...the Go-Betweens are my friends! Robert Vickers might actually know I exist! OH MY GOD!
Check them out--they've got great songs on both spaces. The Go-Betweens one has live versions that aren't to my knowledge available commercially.
