Popularity rank 61 #30. Buying a CD/consumer revolution

July 12, 2005

GREG: Do you know why I'm here in this damn Tower Records buying this album? Because I support this band. Because I believe in this band.

GREG: Because I want to be part of a full-scale consumer revolution that brings them to their rightful place as the kings of God damn rock n' roll!!!

CHLORIS: That'll be $18.99.
GREG: Do you take credit cards, my friend!?

BRETT: Can I burn that from you later?
GREG: Sure, man... make a copy for Kim, too.
CHLORIS: This is coming up as declined, sir.

GREG: So who are we seeing tonight?
BRETT: The band's called "Underbelly". You know them. They're the guys who work at the Panera bread on Franklin.

GREG: OK, right.
BRETT: And then I'd like to get to Ninth Street to see "Dangerlouse".

GREG: Those're the guys who work at Pepper's pizza?
BRETT: No that's "Tagliaboo". These're the guys from Burrito Bunker.

BRETT: Yes, and a thriving food service industry.

Popularity rank 64 #249. Out of nowhere

August 17, 2009

BRETT: I can't believe she left me. This is so out of NOWHERE...
THE CLOUD: ACTUALLY... 4 weeks ago you fought after seeing "Away We Go".

THE CLOUD: Her tone in emails, texts and tweets since then CLEARLY indicates a building resentment that you've done little to counter.

A pause.

BRETT: Can I opt-out of your hindsight?
THE CLOUD: Certainly. Would you mind taking a short survey before you unsubscribe?
