Nervous Flashlights
Encyclopedia
Nervous Flashlights is the eighth album by Mornington Peninsula
, Melbourne
indie band The Fauves
.
The band noted on their website: "The song 'Clive of India Curry Powder' earned us our first ever sponsorship deal when the makers of the iconic spice blend sent us a box of their products as acknowledgment of the brilliant job we had done in promoting their brand. It wasn’t until writing this synopsis that we finally noticed, a year after its release, that track 3 – 'I’m Jim Fixx And I’m Dead Now' is misspelt on the rear cover where Fixx’s name shows only one X rather than the two required. This continues a long tradition of erroneous information on Fauves’ track listings and highlights our appalling proofreading skills."
