Popularity rank 17 #137. No James Blunt on the iPod

August 4, 2006

GREG: Why'd you throw my iPod across the room?
BRETT: That James Blunt song was starting to play. I could hear it through your earbuds.

GREG: "You're Beautiful"? It's harmless hooky pop.
BRETT: Greg, for the past year, our entire culture has tried to make me listen to that song.

BRETT: But I've resisted! I am Blunt-free! And I won't have your iPod end my self-imposed Blunt-ginity!

GREG: Well, fine... but you could've hurt "Li'l Stevie".
BRETT: I wish you wouldn't call it that.

Popularity rank 18 #31. Time estimates for the concert tonight

July 19, 2005

GREG: OK. So. Doors open at 7. Opening band starts at 8.
BRETT: They're done at 9:30. The main band goes on at 10.

GREG: They play all the crappy songs off their new album for an hour.
BRETT: They play old, crowd-pleasing radio hits until 11:30.

GREG: We get there at midnight, to catch the encore with the heartfelt acoustic number.
BRETT: ...and the showstopping cover of some Kinks' song.

GREG: OK, great... hey, which band are we seeing again?
BRETT: I forget. I think they were big in the 90's. Or 80's.

BRETT: Like sex?
SMITA: No. No, I had sex with him. It was great.

SMITA: But you... you'll LIE to me.
BRETT: Yes I will.
