I don’t have much of an opinion of the Vines. I thought they had a catchy song or two, but for the most part they’re not really swimming inside my thoughts.
But they have a new album coming out soon, and with that comes an interview with The Guardian. Here’s a few of my favorite quotes from the band:
“What do I get mad about?” says Nicholls. “Like, if I’m wearing jeans and Patrick is wearing jeans, it’s like fuck you! I’m wearing jeans today! And we have fights with Hamish because he wears T-shirts with four-letter words on them and we don’t think that’s appropriate. Also,” he says, warming to his theme, “he’s taken a lot of acid and he’s always talking about it. Hamish is the weirdest, but it’s not his fault. He’s done something to his brain and he can’t get back.” He laughs uproariously. “Great drummer, though.”
“I always say to the other guys, if you want to throw a TV out of a hotel room window, then do it just before you leave the hotel, because there might be something you want to watch.”
“We’re all as messed up as each other. Yeah.”
The full interview is here. It’s a pretty good interview, even if you’re like and don’t give a toss about the band one way or another.
