haha.. Exactly my point.
And it's not that I've got willpower, its more or less, I just need to hear is at the PERFECT moment, and no interuptions, and stuff. haha

But.. You have to PROMISE me.. When you are sitting in the parking lot, listening to that album, you have to have it cranked up so EVERYONE can hear the wonderfullness of it.

Plus, it's funny to see people's expressions, on whether they like it, or not, or just think your crazy. And, if you singe along, it would be even more great. hahaha

haha that's me!! And basically every post will be the same thing but I won't be able to shut up about how much I love the album

that's not a promise i have to make because i always do that anyway! i can't tell you the number of times i've turned off my car, the soundsystem the last thing to kick off, and it's blasting - you'd think the vines were actually in my car performing the songs. and yeah, i get a lot of these looks...

i don't care, i sing at top volume with them too - the dogs in surrounding neighborhoods really appreciate that. but the first time i listen to the new cd i'm sure will be more quiet and reverant because i will be in such love and awe. then i'll come here and spaz with the rest of you.

haha.. Yes, the rest of us, and the millions of other fans who will magically flock to the forum. haha

Maybe thats another reason I'm going to stop comming here, until I acctually hear it.. haha (kidding. )

god bless google news alerts...here's a little more from that nme article from the nme site - they expound a bit on the sound of the songs. not much...but something.

shame they can't get wayne connolly's name right...

The Vines 'back on track'
'Edgier and wilder' third album in the bag
The Vines have overcome the traumas of recent years and completed their third album.

The band have just completed a four-week stint in Sydney's BJB Studios with producer Wayne Connerly, and made an album he says is "edgier and wilder".

The sessions mark a return to action for the band, who looked on the verge of collapse when frontman Craig Nicholls was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome.

"There's a bunch of different styles on this record," Connerly told NME. "He's kind of got a little bit of that space rock stuff but he's also got some really intense wild punk rock, there something very primal about it."

He added: "Then he's got a couple of great Beatles kind of punk rock songs, a bit of sixties beat garage stuff, a couple of really good indie slacker tracks and a bit of soaring pop stuff like that. A few strings. He's always been a really big fan of that lush production, whether it's been obvious in the past."

Working track titles include 'Nothing's Coming', 'Any Sound' and 'Take Me Back'.

And relations within the band are good, says Connerly. "The morale's been really good because they do enjoy recording. It kind of makes it easier for everybody. Craig doesn't really devote himself to the serious issues of the day, he pretty much devotes most of his energy to hiding behind doors and scaring people. It's great to see his eccentric playful side."

However, bass player Patrick Matthews has played a minimal role in the new album, since his side project Youth Group took off.

The album is expected to be released next year, though management have previously gone on record saying that the band will "never" go on a traditional tour again.

I love you.


And that picture is brilliant. haha

If I get to go out soon, I'll buy the magazine.

Since when is Youth Group Patrick's side project?

I used to do that, before I was homeschooled. Except, it was in English 'cause I love Maths.

You're homeschooled? Lucky.

I think I might be, soon, though, because I seperate school and home so much, that if when I get homework assignments, I can't do them, unless I do them at school, because in my head, school is work and home is home, so I can't mix them.. lol

So they figure they'll just combine them for me, so I can just do it all, and be in a comfortable environment all the time. Or something. lol I think they think the seperation, and the environment in school is whats making me most unhappy, but I like riding on the bus, so I don't know what they are talking about.


Sorry. I just decided I felt like talking about random stuff, and branching off of what you said about being homeschooled. lol

Is it me or doesn't that say much?

I guess so. lol
Why shouldnt it..?

A punk rock beatles song? what the heck is that? sounds rockin to me! cant wait!

"indie slacker tracks " ... eurghhhhh

Someone name me a punk rock song by the Beatles please.

Thankyou. Yeah, I hate my voice. lol. I think it's annoying, most of the time. haha It's kind of like monotone, in that there's only like one level to it (though it doesn't sound like dull or boring or anything.. just on the same level.. lol) Well, I think you are intellegent, too, and very nice, as well.


(Sorry I replyed so far behind, but I was just looking at it, and saw I didn't reply to it.. haha So, Im sorry. lol)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
i'm sure it will be prodigious!! i'm so excited!!!! (moreover, it's the first time that i'm waiting for an album of them)

I LOVE THE VINES (shut up..lol)

'revolution' or 'helter skelter'? i think they mean pop songs with a bit of 'edge' ala 'fuck the world' or 'get free' - poppy but not all goodness and light.

it sounds like a good mix of songs like all other vines albums - and that variety is one of the reasons i love them the way i do.

Yeah, Wayne's descriptions of the songs really kinda confused me Oh well, I'm just happy to hear something! and I've always loved Craig's variation in songwriting, it's amazing and it shows true talent when someone can do such a wide range of styles. That's what actually got me into the vines. When I heard the whole record I was like... wow... such a nice variety of songs brilliant songs may I add!

"The morale's been great. Craig doesn't really devote himself to the serious issues of the day, he devotes most of his energy to hiding behind doors and scaring people. It's great to see his eccentric, playful side"

i can imagine him very easily, i love this part

I wish he would hide behind a door and scare me.




Well, then I would have to scare him, too. That's like my hobby; scaring people. But I've already said that (When I said I especially liked scaring my 2 year old cousin, kelsie, because she loves it and thinks its funny.. haha)

You must be the 'Scariest Queen' of Halloween

These update posts never seem to get old as once again it had made my day. I am excited to get this new album when it is released and by the sounds of it the direction the band is going in is good. Also a shame that Patrick hasn't been their.

Oh yes, you know it.

It's not to scary, though, when I scare people, then start cracking up at them.. haha It's funny. And Kelsie, she just laughing and goes "Again! Again!" haha. Shes great.

I worry about her, sometimes, though. But, yeah. We are too much alike for my liking..

My kid likes to jump out and scare me. The other day I almost hit him because it was dark and he made me scream.

When I grow up and have kids, I'm going to scare them all the time. haha

Reminds me when i was little when my dad jump out of the woods at me. Almost crapped my pants but when i look back it is really funny.

I don't know if this was really worth making a whole new thread for, but the Vines have finally completed their 3rd album!

The Ultimate-Guitar Article

Australian rockers The Vines have announced that have just completed their third album. Following a four-week stint in Sydney's BJB Studios with producer Wayne Connerly, the band say that the new record is "edgier and wilder".

The sessions mark the first return to the studio for the band since frontman Craig Nicholls was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. "There's a bunch of different styles on this record," Connerly told the NME. "He's kind of got a little bit of that space rock stuff but he's also got some really intense wild punk rock, there something very primal about it."


He added: "Then he's got a couple of great Beatles kind of punk rock songs, a bit of sixties beat garage stuff, a couple of really good indie slacker tracks and a bit of soaring pop stuff like that. A few strings. He's always been a really big fan of that lush production, whether it's been obvious in the past."

Relationships and morale within the band are also said to have improved according to Connerly, though bass player Patrick Matthews has played a minimal role in the new album since his side project Youth Group took off.

The record is set to be released next year, though Nicholls' condition means uncertainty over any potential tour, according to GIGWISE.com.



PS. the article doesn't mention the album name, has anybody heard of it?

It's way to early for album names - I dunno if the guys would even have thought of one yet - then again, knowing Craig he's probably already decided . I don't think we'll be finding out for quite a while yet. Probably not till a few months into next year, that's my guess anyway.

whoaaa

but... "edgier and wilder"?

it seems that many fav bands of mine'd like to turn into 'hard rocking'... The Strokes, Jarvis, and now The Vines (?)

Isn't this old news already?

what i feared before i posted this thread

that's okay, cotrines. we appreciate you sharing, but since this is a rehash of the nme article, i'm moving it here. eventually it will find it's way to the articles thread.

the album title will probably be one of the last things they announce - it's a craig thing.

Maybe it'll be called Three's a Charm.

I'm so glad !
Thanks for this good news !

"Craig doesn't really devote himself to the serious issues of the day, he devotes most of his energy to hiding behind doors and scaring people"
awwww!! isn't that cute?!?! i have mental illustrations of that quote but i guess seeing craig scaring people for real must be hilarious

^ That is really cute. I love it.
