Luister naar Karen in the library

Formed in Brisbane, Australia in 1977, The Go-Betweens featured the twin talents of singer-songwriters Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. The group released 9 albums between 1981 and 2005. The Forster penned hymn to a librarian named Karen was the b-side to the group's first single 1978's Lee Remick. This song is the only one I know that praises a librarian's readers advisory skills. Forster sings: Helps me find Hemingway Helps me find Genet Helps me find Brecht Helps me find Chandler Helps me find James Joyce She always makes the right choice. You see what I did there? We just can't help ourselves!
