Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.On their reunion as The Go-Betweens after a decade apart, it was decided that the compilation of highlights from Robert Forster and Grant McLennan's solo careers should be titled Intermission, an indication of the importance they placed on their Go-Betweens career. Sadly, the resumption was cut short by the death last year of Grant McLennan. With an album apiece, Intermission highlights the differences between the two songwriters' styles - Forster is typically elegant but can be ruthlessly analytical in songs such as " Cryin' Love" and "The Circle"; and McLennan wields a nice line in regret in "Haven't I Been A Fool", but reveals a darker edge in "Black Mule", where a man saved from thugs by a nun's intervention is nonetheless killed in the next verse by a car-bomb. McLennan's songs are more generously endowed with catchy hooks, but neither of them are well served by their bland voices.
