[edit] track and album names

I have been doing a bit of trawling for background information & references for this page. There are a few interviews with some or all of the group around the web. Here are some interviews I have found:

• Lloyd Swanton - The Music Show, ABC Radio National, 5th February 2005 http://www.abc.net.au/rn/music/mshow/s1422593.htm
• Lloyd Swanton & Chris Abrahams - The Music Show, ABC Radio National, 5th February 2005 http://www.abc.net.au/rn/musicshow/stories/2006/1699319.htm but this contains no transcript of interview I can see.
• The Necks (all 3) - All About Jazz (in London) 2003 http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=584
• Chris Abrahams 2003 http://www.abc.net.au/arts/adlib/stories/s857576.htm (mostly about his own playing, not Necks)
• Compilation: http://www.segnalo.it/TRACCE/MUSICA/The%20necks/necks.htm A page in Italian that seems to have ripped interview and biographical information from other places on the web (including some of those I just listed).

Is it worth collecting any info behind the track and album names? I don't know if there are any documented interviews on this. Some are nice surprises and some are self-evident, but it probably qualifies as original research, not encyclopaedic. e.g. Silent Night has a melodic fragment which sounds like the opening bar of the carol - near the end of White I think; See through has big holes in it; Mosquito has couple of zzzts from a guest artist.
