    • I didn't realize there was even a censored version of "Some Girls." I'm curious as to what they changed the offending lyrics to.

    • I can't see why they wouldn't record it as an actual song and release it, despite it being for a commercial, they have to know the song kicked ass. So why not record a full length version and release it as a single, or on an LP? It's got a TOTAL Velvet Underground influence to it, that's for sure.

    • so little of a slice of a song. it's a very early track. probably on ABLE records? there is a double LP comp of early Go-Bees (before they ventured to England), that you may be able to find the track on. check Amazon or Ebay for it. good luck...

    • DAMN IT! Hahaha. I'd love to see the page, thank you!

    • That's possible, which makes this search even more difficult. I emailed the group asking them, so I'll hopefully be hearing back. Plus I asked Henry Weld over at Collectorscum being as he's from Australia and is very knowledgeable with Aussie and NZ Punk Rock. If I do find out, I'll let ya know, unless someone else on here cracks it first! This has been bothering me for YEARS, I've seen the docu before I saw it on YouTube and I've been wondering since.

    • You're not going to like this. It's a television commercial they recorded for a record shop - The Toowong Music Centre, Nelson. It's on page 67 of the David Nichols Go-Betweens book. It was a song they appear to have made up on the spot. I'll transcribe the page if you're interested.

    • Ooh, interesting. It's nothing I recognise. I've had a quick scoot through the 78-79 lost album and the extras on the Send Me A Lullaby set and it's not on there. I'm wondering if it's Robert Forster (it is him, isn't it?) guest-fronting another band?

    • I"m gonna say Man o' Sand Girl o' Sea without seeing any video, haha.

    • April 12, 2013 12:25 PM CDT
    • Which video, Sean? I can't see anything. I should be able to help you once I can access the footage.

    • April 12, 2013 12:32 AM CDT
    • Hey, does anyone know the name of the Go Betweens song that plays at 3:31 in the vid below??? This has been driving me nuts for a while now. It's a bad ass track.

    • Radio What Wave Playlist April 11/13

      Back after a week away due to illness and this was some of the show that would have aired one week prior.

      1. Manitoba....The Party Starts Now...from their....And Now CD. Manitoba comes to London Apr 18th at Call The Office...first night of 3 Canadian shows.

      2. Suckerpunch...Cheetah Drive...from the Dead On The Road compilation CD on Raw Energy from 1993. 3 piece outta Toronto that took some cool influences and had lots of fun.

      3. The Stinkies...Boogie 72...from the SFTRI CD, It's Fun And Easy To Put Together. Another of Craig Daniels (Leather Uppers) many cool combos.

      4. The Deadly Snakes (featuring Greg Oblivian)...Rock Candy...recorded live at Call The Office 6/199/2000. Betcha didn't know that an Oblivian came to London Ontario. Now you do and you shoulda been there!

      5. The Midways...See That Girl...from the Pay More And Get A Good Seat CD. More Toronto garagepunkers, and there's a member of Suckerpundh (see above) in this combo.

      6. UIC...Lockjaw Bay...from the Wiseman Sessions CD...goes out to Chuck, as he gets mentioned in this song and he said some nice things about me on facebook recently. And it's a fucking great song!

      7. UIC...Do You Wanna Go...from the Johnny Hanson Presents...Puck Rock Volume 1 CD circa 1994. One of those tracks you rarely hear from our good pals UIC.

      8. The Supersuckers...Poor...from a white vinyl 7" on SFTRI. Way before these guys went with SubPop...think i mighta picked this one up when The Supersuckers opened for The Dwarves at Call The Office June 1992. The Supersuckers blew away the Dwarves and NO, the singer of the Dwarves did NOT get his throat slashed by someone in the crowd as he likes to brag. The singer swung the mic stand over top of the crowd and it hit a beer bottle that someone was holding up. What was left of the beer bottle was tossed at the Dwarves singer and it just happened to hit him in the throat and cut him. Myth dispelled.

      9. Mad Anthony...City....from their latest CD, which just happens to be self titled. Cincinnati combo who are on tour right now as we speak. Go see them live if you can!

      10. Drums Along the Gardiner... Fish...from their only 7" from 1988. This is the start of a DATG set as someone requested a song by them and i just couldn't play one. These guys were a step outta time or they woulda caught on with people that appreciate cool music. Toronto via Vancouver and always entertaining!

      Drums Along The Gardiner...probably back stage at Key West Cafe

      11. Drums Along the Gardiner...Vagabonds...from Mr Garager's Neighbourhood on OG Records 1989.

      Drums Along The Gardiner on the stairs leading to The Key West Cafe

      12. Drums Along the Gardiner...75...the flip side of the above single.

      Drums Along The Gardiner....watch that hand!!

      13. Drums Along the Gardiner...Nuclear Plant...a demo that i think was on a What Wave cassette many years ago...I should know, but am too lazy to check it out. Request by the Ultimatemost High stick handler.

      14. Avery Island...Lock Me Up...from a new compilation called Broken Arts Presents Half-Built Horizons. Oshawa based label that shows there's still lots of life in Oshawa besides Star Records.

      15. Danny Laj...Queen Street...from a new 4 song CD on Boppa Do Down Records. Toronto powerpoppper and this will probably be released on vinyl on Boppa Do Down.

      16. Bang 74...Hi-Flying Dreams...from the CD of the same name. 70's influenced powerpoppers from Spain.

      17. B.B. Guns...Bang...recorded live on Moondog's Ballroom on CIUT (every tuesday at 5PM with host Daihbid James). This session was also videoed by Aldo Erdic and you can find it on youtube. Got this song and the next one stuck in my noggin' for a coupla days and just had to play it. Killer, isn't it?

      18. B.B.Guns...I Killed My Baby In Mexico....as above. 

      19. Heimlich Maneuver...In My Head....from a demo cassette from the late 80's. Toronto combo and another one of those songs that often gets stuck in my noggin'. Request by James Ghostkeepper.

      20. Driven Beats...Beach Girls...either these guys found me on the garagepunk hideout or vice versa, but i'm sure glad we connected. Way cool garage sounds from today!! You'll be hearing lots more of these guys.

      21. Sheep Look Up...Civil Disobedience...from Slippery's Club Hits, the cassette that comes with WW 24, in stores now.

      22. Deja Voodoo...Raised By Wolves...from the Worst Of LP on OG Records. Drummer Tony's wife found me on facebook this week.....we haven't seen Tony since the last time Deja Voodoo played London Ontario around 1990.

      Deja Voodoo at the Victoria Tavern 1984

      And that's a wrap. Thanks for all the phone-ins, emails, messages, and facebook threats! Back again next week with some Dictators as Manitoba will be in town and lotsa records as April 20th is Record Store Day...and earth day and almost my birthday.

    • I shit you not! I found this online. A Syd Barrett colouring book. Not widely available, but you can buy direct from the artist. pipergatesdesign@hotmail.co.uk Theres apparently a Joy Division one as well. WTF?????? Genius! With this in mind. What other bizarre and out there merchandise and stuff has anyone found or heard of that takes our minds and music to another level, haha This is just amazing. Waiting for my copy to come through the letterbox.

    • People are living longer , these days. Each year sees at least a few people checking out at age 114. I just saw an interview with Lux Interior where he maintained that while Rock'n'Roll IS teenage music , it's scope is'nt limited to any specific age group . Anyone who wants to play it , can , and he sure lived to prove THAT. BUT "ROCK" music , he added , is for older people who no longer feel the Teenage Rage. A good friend of mine lost his Mother at the age of 93. A few years earlier , she bought us each a Johnny Thunders T- shirt. She even requested they let her wear a Ramones T-shirt under her hospital gown , when she was nearing the end. It's not so much that she was a fan , as that's how she wanted to keep her Son close by when he could'nt be there . So , you see , despite our best combined efforts , Rock'n'Roll has bridged the generation gap.

    • Damn right! I'm 55 and rippin' thru "Journey To The Center Of The Mind" every time The Shreds Of Evidence hit the stage. As if that ain't enough, we tac "Ride My See Saw" on the front of it and rip seamlessly from one to the other. It's just under 8 minutes of psychedelic thunder. It's become known as the showstopper. Starts of with spot-on Graham Edge "Departure" poetry intro. Looking for that outdoor festival gig!
