Go-Betweens singer dies in sleep

May 7, 2006 - 11:28AM

Legendary singer-songwriter and frontman of The Go-Betweens, Grant McLennan, has died at his Brisbane home, aged 48.

McLennan died in his sleep yesterday, The Go-Betweens website reports.

The Go-Betweens became heroes of the Queensland music scene with songs such as Bachelor Kisses and Through the Streets of Your Town.

McLennan and Robert Forster formed the band while attending university in Brisbane during the Bjelke-Petersen days of the 1970s, when McLennan was arrested for participating in protests.

The Australian Performing Rights Association (APRA) recently voted his autobiographical song Cattle and Cane as one of the 10 greatest Australian songs of all time.

McLennan also won an ARIA award for Best Contemporary Album last year for the band's most recent offering, Oceans Apart.

"McLennan was a passionate supporter of the arts, extremely well-read and maintained a keen interest in all contemporary music, cinema and visual art," the website said.

"He was an exceptionally charming and polite man who endeared himself to everyone who met him and was one of the rare individuals worthy of the epithet larger than life.

"His singular contribution to music and his commitment to his craft simply cannot be understated. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him."

McLennan was raised by his mother on a cattle-station in Rockhampton in central Queensland.

He is survived by his mother, sister, brother and girlfriend Emma.

Una gran perdida, siempre es jodida la muerte, pero cuando se tiene esa edad, la cosa

Les Très Bien Ensemble: Viajan a Inglaterra

El grupo liderado por la pequeña Suzette acompañó hace pocos meses al mítico grupo británico WOULD-BE-GOODS en las tres fechas de su gira española. Elefant y Fortuna Pop!, los sellos discográficos respectivos, aprovecharon la ocasión para editar un exclusivo CD -"Que Viva Le Pop!"- con lo mejor de ambos catálogos, que se regalaba con la entrada a dichos conciertos.
Por fin ha llegado el momento de devolver la visita y llevar a cabo la misma acción conjunta en el Reino Unido. WOULD-BE-GOODS y LES TRÈS BIEN ENSEMBLE actuarán a finales de junio en Londres, Nottingham y Oxford, en una serie de conciertos donde también compartirán escenario con THE CUT-OUTS y THE CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENT. Y, por supuesto, con la entrada se regalará a los asistentes su ejemplar de la recopilación "Que Viva Le Pop!".

Estos no son los únicos conciertos internacionales de LES TRÈS BIEN ENSEMBLE, que el próximo 13 de mayo actuarán en el Fairfield Café de Toulouse (Francia), acompañados por el grupo local MOMOTTE.

Vaya puta mierda de día.

Estoy estupefacto. Junto a Bowie y Joy mi grupo predilecto.

22 temazos seguidos.

…Everything's fresh at the source in this land

And I wish him luck
I hope he get's it right
As he lives my life...

De Australia y del mundo Maurici, quizá una de las bandas más infravaloradas en la historia de la música contemporánea, melodias eternas, nunca morirán, resito en llorar, me ha conmovido.

Descansa en Paz Grant

Me cago en la Virgen.

_What would you do if you turned around
And saw me beside you
Not in a dream but in a song?
Would you float like a phantom
Or would you sing along?

Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where it’s flowing
But I know it’s finding you

What would you do
If you saw me driving by in a car
The quickest you’ve ever seen me spin?
Would you smile and wave
Or would you bow and get in?

Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where it’s flowing
But I know it’s finding you

But then the lightning finds us
Burns away our kindness
We can’t find a place to hide
Come the rainy season
Surrender to our treasons
Can we even find our tears?

Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where it’s flowing
But I know it’s finding you_

[hansen]

Pues si una lastima…

BLACK SABBATH's 'Iron Man' Tops VH1 List As the Greatest Metal Song of All Time
BLACK SABBATH's "Iron Man" reigns as the #1 song in the definitive metal count down "40 Greatest Metal Songs" airing on VH1.

The countdown, which began Monday, May 1 will culminate on Thursday, May 4 at 11 p.m., with the top ten songs of all time. Hosted by Sebastian Bach (who can be seen on VH1's "SuperGroup" beginning May 21 at 10 p.m.), "40 Greatest Metal Songs" kicks off its metal month and brings you the 40 most notable metal songs of all time in four rockin' half hour episodes. Whether epic, political, scary or downright silly, these tunes have one thing in common: they will rock your friggin' socks off.

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian steps up to the metal month plate by writing and recording the show's original theme music, which is a first in VH1 history. Never before has an artist written and recorded the music for a VH1 show that they also appear in.

The top 10 greatest metal songs of all time are:

01. BLACK SABBATH - "Iron Man" (1971)

JODER! Me acabo de enterar de lo de Grant. Que lastima.

Descansa en paz.

[Gallo Negro]

Acabo de enterarme ahora mismo de lo de Grant McLennan y todavía estoy alucinando. Con la de malnacidos que pueblan el mundo, va y se muere quien no debería.

Y por cierto, perro pachón, me cago en tu raza. El puto poster ese a 8 megapíxel que has puesto me ha obligado a estar más de diez minutos cargando la página.

Jódete maricón, he estado llamándote para decirtelo y no contestabas. Si no dejaras el ordenador encendido durante dos meses seguidos no te pasaria. A cascarla con tu pc a la montaña.
