Good For A Larf

Spotted by a Go-Betweens-lovin' colleague:

Courier Mail obit of Grant McLennan (May 13):
"McLennan's sister, Sally McLennan, spoke of the family growing up in central and far north Queensland and McLennan's early years in the UK, living in a flat in London visiting Nick Cave, The Birthday Party and various nudists."

Courier Mail Letters To The Editor (May 15):
"I THINK you will find that Grant McLennan was visiting various Moodists in London not "nudists'' (CM May 13-14 May). The Moodists were a Melbourne band that moved to the UK in 1983 and were friends of the Go-Betweens. The band's lead vocalist Dave Graney is well-known as a snappy dresser.

I hate that rag. To the point where I refuse to even write or say its name. How embarrassment.

[timothystevens]

Now there's a coincidence. That's exactly the way I feel about your state, and its capital city. (No embarrassment, though.)

[ladylex]

I couldnt agree with you more :lol: Hence me visiting Melbs as often as possible. :lol:

But still.. you have really shit weather ;D

i won't have to keep writing this crappy verse
or writing bad poems, a crime which is worse!

you can catch Tim Stevens annual gig at Bennetts Lane
or go to Crown next year for some Jazz Italian

BWAHAHAH Gosh Glen. How can I possibly not larf? *smooch. *teehee

Did someone say melbourne coffee? *gah. Ive made a pledge: no coffee at all, until Im walking down Lygon Street. 25 days to go... and counting...

PS Dont fry your brain cells with the aforemention upstart rag. Dont do it people. That sensationalist rag is full of krap and can only bring harm to your brain. ;D

[glean]

[ladylex]

Yes.
