When the band is happening it's all happening.

Thanks so much for listening! Comparing me to The Go-Betweens, even just the vibe of Robert's tunes (he is also a brilliant author, just quietly), is high praise indeed. I'm going to ride that compliment all the way to my next songwriting session.
Regarding the vocals at the start... guilty as charged! I seem to have gone full 'naked vulnerability' a little too early. Clearly, I need a vocal sweater until the band arrives to offer a sonic hug. And the pitch, oh the pitch! Those darn BIAB tracks are sometimes possessed by tiny, out-of-tune gremlins (see joke below). I'll wage war on them, I swear.
But "when the band is happening it's all happening" basically made my week. Glad to hear that finally the sonic machinegun starts firing on time!"

Corny Joke warning.........

A Dude goes into a music shop (remember them?) and buys a guitar.

A few days later he returns it complaining that it keeps going out of tune.

The salesman and the store manager play it and it sounds great,

Dude says _ "Well every time I sing it goes out of tune" .........ouch
