When I think about making Gimme Fiction I think about going to sleep every night with my headphones on listening to Revolver. I think about writing songs sitting cross legged on the floor in an efficiency apartment in Austin in the summertime. I think about knowing that for the first time a good number of people were looking forward to one of our records, and catching a bit of writer’s block off that, and driving down to Galveston to write in a little house next to the Seawall. I remember recording the guitar part to I Turn My Camera On through a reverb tank and putting a dance beat to it and suddenly this bizzaro little falsetto and xylophone tune becoming one of the most immediate things we’d ever made. Today that record turns 20. Long may it burn. There are a lot of stories about Gimme Fiction and @thatseanoneal collected a bunch of them a few years ago into a great oral history that you might like to check out at the link in bio. —Britt
