[edit] Song references?

Is a "song references" section appropriate? For example, the song Halfworld refers to the practice of drinking nightshade to attain a hallucinogenic effect, as well as the consequences of such an action (nightshade is a deadly poison). --Easterlingman 16:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I would absolutely say "Sure! What the hell?", but I don't know if they have enough references to warrant said section. If you can explain what in the world an "Ironspy" or "Elvis Sunday" or a "Mayan Pilot" is, then be my guest- but I can't do it! I don't think the section would be substantial enough, but that's just my opinion. If you think it should exist, then... exist it! -- Kicking222 07:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

In the case that song references are created, here are some notes I've collected in my Splashdown Primer (many taken from Symbion's page). If fans are interested in the lengthy Primer I've constructed, or any of their songs (which are open to the public, at the request of the band itself), leave me a note.
- "Need Versus Want" is lyrically about a hitman.
- "Running with Scissors" is sung in Maori and based on a traditional love song.

[edit] Photos

Does anyone have a free use photo (i.e., one that they took at a concert some years ago)? The article used to have a picture, but I believe it was deleted because it was fair use when a free use alternative was available. -- Kicking222 21:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redshift BEFORE Blueshift?

I've actually read on a reliable fan site that Redshift was released after Blueshift was shelved. The article makes it seem that Redshift was released, and Blueshift was to follow it. In reality, it seems that Redshift was the compromise between the band and the record company. Any thoughts? WiiAlbanyGirl 06:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Albums available on iTunes

I just added a reference to the fact that Stars and Garters is available now on iTunes. Does anyone know if their other albums are available? Has anyone heard from the musicians themselves about how they feel about the songs still being available for free? --Animatorgeek 22:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
