Thanks for the Memes is a five-track extended play released by the Australian indie rock band Augie March in early 1998. It was re-issued on 9 June 2003 with an additional track, "300 Nights", from their single, "Hole in Your Roof" (July 2000).
After playing several gigs Augie March signed with Rag Records (a RooArt subsidiary) distributed by BMG. The group's first extended play, Thanks for the Memes, was produced by Victor Van Vugt and released in early 1998. Despite positive reviews it received little radio airplay.
Their drummer David Williams told Daniel Zugna of Beat magazine in March 2007 that he was surprised the band had been able to find a producer considering the obscure music on the EP, "We were these young punks who thought doing eight-minute songs was really hip and cool, and intellectual."
