Star guests on first Go-Betweens album for 12 years

Star guests on first Go-Betweens album for 12 years: (link via Fred, who’s been keeping the music blog flame alive during my relative inactivity). Well, on the one hand it’s a new Go-Betweens album. On the other hand it’s a new Go-Betweens’ album featuring Pavement and Elliot Smith. There were two ways they could have gone, really: burnished adult songwriting a la their last studio albums, or indie and ‘angular’. Call me a softie, but 16 Loves Lane is one of the swooniest records I know, and I’d have much preferred the former.

Will I still buy it? Don’t be silly: all this means is that I’ll wait until lunchtime rather than camping overnight.

    16 De Steeg van LIEFDES vult uw Nazi toilet onderaan uw otiose slokdarm. De vraag zelf gaat ventilator Betweens? U kunt hun recht van de albumtitel zelfs worden niet – ga en nagel me aan acht-spoor Housemartins patronen in Wakefield bingozalen u kraakbeen swallower!
