A True Hipster : Remembering Grant McLennan by Robert Forster

Ed Kuepper of The Saints and Laughing Clowns talking about GM...

After Grant died in 2006 I got approached to contribute a song to a tribute album being put together by a small American label . Initially I was hesitant because I thought the songs he and Robert did were maybe too idiosyncratic for me to be able to do anything worthwhile with. I didn't think a straight cover would be much of a tribute to a songwriter, I didn't want to do one of the older well known songs and I wasn't familiar with the latest album at that point.

It was important to me to do something relatively recent of his if I was going to be involved in the project. You see we'd bumped into each other at a film preview in Brisbane a couple of days before he died and we'd made informal arrangements to meet up at my place later the next week to try something musically. Anyway I got hold of a copy of Oceans Apart , listened to it a couple of times and always came back to ''Finding You''. I supposed this would be as close as it could get to doing something new with him.

But it also reminded me that back in the early 80's when the Gobs first moved to Sydney Grant crashed at my house for a while . I was out most of the time so it wasn't an inconvenience.
I came home one afternoon to find him in the small lounge room playing a Laughing Clowns record, after telling him to turn that rubbish off we had a bit of a chat about music and Grant telling me quite earnestly ''Ed, you'll never have a hit record if you keep writing songs in minor keys'' I laughed and let it pass because he was a young country boy in the big smoke for the first time and I could vaguely remember what that was like.

I mention this because even though I like the lyric the main thing that attracted me to ''Finding You'' was the fact it had been written in A minor. Anyway here it is 8 years on now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkfjZVJQerY

Thanks for sharing that. Brought a tear to my eye though.

Lori's mum went to school with the Gobs' drummer... #truestory

Saw it this week via a tweet by Luke Haines. Luke's on that same tribute album.

wut

is that his own urine?

Weissbier? A German I know leaves a little bit in the bottle and shakes it around to get a similar result.

Though I suppose that might also be his urine.
