Thanks for liking the piece, I was scared it read like something from a school magazine. <BR/><BR/>Before Hollywood might be my favourite Go-Betweens album, actually. It's the only one apart from Send Me A Lullaby that holds together, and it marries the sort of... musical elasticity? of that album with the pretty bits from the other ones. <BR/><BR/>Gillian W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698535316195586943.post-79486161884511025232008-02-21T22:20:00.000-08:002008-02-21T22:20:00.000-08:00holy shit todd.holy shit todd.kiss out the jamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227176850337042299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698535316195586943.post-74993511296139516922008-02-21T21:57:00.000-08:002008-02-21T21:57:00.000-08:00Well shit - the stuff I wrote when I was 16 makes ...Well shit - the stuff I wrote when I was 16 makes me want to die, so I'm rather seethingly jealous of this.

I've owned SMAL for, oh, 20 years now, and your essay has inspired me to pull it out for the first time in, oh, 18 years now. <BR/><BR/>Just curious, Gillian -- what do you make of Before Hollywood? That's always been my favorite, primarily because it still had that roughness from the first, but less studio polish than the later days. <BR/><BR/>Also, FYI, not to embarrass you, but I sent your essay to Robert Vickers, former bassist for the GBs and all around wonderful guy.hutlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383359405494669997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698535316195586943.post-61795692135090818852008-02-21T15:09:00.000-08:002008-02-21T15:09:00.000-08:00Gillian, if that really is the first thing you've ...Gillian, if that really is the first thing you've ever written about music, it's phenomenal. <BR/><BR/>I'm sourcing a copy of Send Me a Lullaby now.Ally Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780008599840992097noreply@blogger.com
