So yeah. There ain't gonna be any Friday Farce this week, so I thought I'd leave you with a tune for Tuesday.
The Go Betweens - Cattle and Cane (5.99 MB mp3: right-click and Save As to download)
I posted about the wonderful Aussie band The Go Betweens before; since then, Grant McLennan has passed away (and here), a turn of events that saddened me greatly.
Cattle and Cane, from their early album Before Hollywood, is described as McLennan's "autobiographical masterpiece" and was recently voted by the Australian Performing Rights Association as one of the ten greatest Australian songs of all time. It's not an unreasonable call.
See ya next week!
