The Election Selection - Second Single?
Hmmm. When I announced that I’d be recording an album called The Election Selection, I thought I had plenty of time to write and record the album before October 9 - but bugger me, there’s only a week and a half before we go to the polls! And I’m going to be away for five days without a computer to record on! And I’ve only written three of the songs! Buggerfuck!
Anyways, I figure by tomorrow night I can at least attempt to finish one of the singles and put it online for your listening displeasure, so allow me to ask all you wonderful people who left kind messages after hearing Latham’s Lament - and those of you who thought it was a pile of shit - which single would you prefer I put up next? Below are the titles of the two songs ready to rock’n’roll and a brief excerpt from the lyrics. Beware - it could be rubbish!
The Ballad Of Bob Brown
Bob was born in Oberon in 1944
Became a doctor, moved to Tassie, and joined the greenie cause
No closet could contain Bob Brown, he was cool with being gay
Campaigned against the Franklin Dam, and Bob Brown saved the day
Ain’t Nobody Seen (No Children Overboard)
Ain’t nobody seen no children overboard
Ain’t nobody see-ee-eeen no children overboard
So I would just ignore
Everything you’ve ever heard from our PM
Yeah yeah yeah!
The first one is a slow… erm… ballad, and the second one is a more boppy nonsensical affair. Which would you like? Alternatively, you can choose to ignore the entire election album debacle and continue defending the honour of Craig “Spackerface” Nicholls in that ancient article’s comments.
PS: Vines fans - I am loving the death threats. More, please! They’re hilarious!

Let's hear the one about the lanky loony.

Are there any articles where you full on pay out the vines? Are death threats posted there? Please direct me to it!

The death threats... or at least what I guess could be death threats... are on the vines mesasge board somewhere.
Perhaps they're posted by band members themselves? I don't know.
Personally I've always found the vines completely uninteresting but then my musical tastes are normally considered bizarre by bizarre standards.

Ha!
Well, the original article was written in early June - you can find it here.
The thing I find most amusing is that these Vines fanatics is their completely inability to admit ANY fault in their beloved favourite band. I mean, I love loads of different bands\musos as well, but if someone's being a cock, I'm happy to admit it!
Personal fave recent comment had to be the "Famous people aren't accountable for their actions!" statement (or something to that effect). While I'm sure they think they're defending their idol adequately, they're simply doing a terrible job publicising the intelligence of your average Vines fan.
