.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: After the advance rls with a small error and a cut of :
: track couple of weeks ago this is finally :
: the retail version of highly acclaimed aussie band The :
: Vines. Tracks have been placed in a different order and :
: sound a bit different after some additional remix work :
: apparantly. :
: 'Highly Evolved' :
: "That's a fairly new song. It's all Craig's. It's got :
: the line 'If you feel low/You can buy love/From a :
: payphone', it reminds me of that Richard Ashcroft lyric :
: 'I talked to God on my way home' [from 'Come On' on :
: 'Urban Hymns']. I think Craig had just been sitting at :
: home watching those 1-800 numbers on TV." :
: :
: 'Autumn Shade' :
: "Craig wrote all the words on that as well. It sounds :
: like it comes from when he used to sit at home for days :
: on end and never leave his room apart from to get a can :
: of Coke from the fridge. He just used to look out of :
: his window. His backyard isn't as nice as he makes out. :
: You'd think it was this verdant paradise, it's actually :
: just this buzzcut lawn with a fence at the back. He :
: likes it, though." :
: :
: 'Outta The Way' :
: "It's got a Motown beat at the start. I just like it, :
: because it's got the best bassline. Ha ha." :
: :
: 'Sunshinin' :
: "It was a bit of toss-up whether we were even going to :
: record this one. We had a list of 17 songs that we were :
: going to record, and even when we went into the studio :
: we were unsure about this one. It's got a really cool :
: groove to it, though." :
: :
: 'Homesick' :
: "That song's totally self-explanatory. Craig's not :
: ironic at all in his songs. If he says, 'I'm highly :
: evolved', he means it. Well, at least as long as the :
: song goes on. Some people thought that 'Highly Evolved' :
: was some cynical commentary on modern life, you know :
: that we're all so highly evolved but we've fucked up :
: the earth. It isn't at all." :
: :
: 'Get Free' :
: "This one sounded really good as a demo. We were :
: talking about this being a single when we didn't even :
: have a deal. People say it's a bit like The Stooges, :
: but we never really used to listen to them." :
: :
: 'Country Yard' :
: "This is similar to 'Autumn Shade' in terms of subject :
: matter. Craig lives close to a river. I think you can :
: see it from his front porch. This song always reminds :
: me of "Animal Farm" on [The Kinks'] 'Village Green :
: Preservation Society'. It's got that sort of vibe to :
: it. It's a nice clever melody.' :
: :
: 'Factory' :
: "I think this is a sparkling song. The words are fairly :
: literal. Craig worked in McDonalds for quite a while, :
: just because he needed some money. This is an anti-work :
: song. It's sarcastic and bitter." :
: :
: 'In The Jungle' :
: "That's pretty much the first song we ever wrote. It's :
: the most complicated song on the record, it's got the :
: most parts. What's it about? I think it's got a little :
: bit of acid in the lyrics, Craig wrote them while he :
: was on a trip." :
: :
: 'Mary Jane' :
: "Is it about marijuana or is it about a girl? I don't :
: think even Craig knows for sure..." :
: :
: 'Ain't No Room' :
: "This was a real last minute inclusion. Pete Thomas who :
: used to drum for Elvis Costello And The Attractions :
: plays on it. I don't think you get the full effect of :
: this one when we play it live, it sounds better here. :
: Pete was so into it, he just kept on drumming. I think :
: the original version was six or seven minutes long, so :
: we had to cut it down." :
: :
: '1969' :
: "David [Oliffe, the band's first drummer] originally :
: wrote this about a Vietnam vet, and I think Craig's :
: changed some of the words so it's not so overtly about :
: that. 'It's 1969 in my head/I just want some place to :
: go...' Fuck, I can't remember the other words. It used :
: to mention Vietnam anyway. There's that line about when :
: he gets home, he's going to get himself a Buick 6." :
