The Lemonheads are like a cross between Gram Parsons and any cool American Indie Rock band from the 90's. Over the years the band became more of an Evan Dando (the lead singer/songwriter) project as founding members left. By 1992 he was an Indie Rock god. A drug problem in the years following, probably stopped him from crossing over to the mainstream completely, after he had a taste of it with their cover of "Mrs Robinson". This song "Outdoor Type" is a confession from a city guy that actually hates the outdoor lifestyle.... a bit like an Aucklander moving to Taupo for the lifestyle but realizing nothing has changed, you are still a city boy and climbing mountains or tramping through forests isn't really you after all. Fuck! is this song about me? No way, I've even got some waders and a rod now.... somewhere in the.... where are they again?
