Popularity rank 26 #189. A higher standard

December 26, 2008

BRETT: I stopped listening to Of Montreal because of that commercial. I disown ANY band who licenses their songs. Stereolab, the Feelies, Santagold... All DEAD to me.

GREG: I just don't see WHY...
BRETT: WHY, Greg? Because I... I hold myself to a HIGHER standard...

GREG: Oh no, Brett, PLEASE don't-
BRETT: It was the Fall of 1992 when I first met Ian MacKaye, Greg...

GREG: ...tell your stupid Minor Threat story...
BRETT: Leaves lined the gravel driveway of the Dischord House...

Popularity rank 27 #188. Different paths

December 24, 2008

GREG: So I first listened to of Montreal because of an Outback commercial. And you found them through some hipster blog.

GREG: In the end, does it matter?
BRETT: Yes.

BRETT: Because my path to them was based on a complex cultural conversation.

BRETT: Yours was based on a "Bloomin' Onion".

December 22, 2008

GREG: There's tons of cool bands I never would've heard of if not for commercials. Like those dudes who do that OUTBACK song!

BRETT: They're called OF MONTREAL, and I tried to get you to listen to them 3 years ago.

GREG: Well, yeah, but...

GREG: You weren't on TV.

Popularity rank 29 #186. Letting your taste be defined

December 19, 2008

BRETT: Just realize that between Free Credit Report.com and iPod ads, you now let your music taste be defined completely by random marketing executives.

GREG: Hey!

GREG: It's also defined by Grey's Anatomy soundtracks!

BRETT: You do not grasp the crux of my point.
GREG: No... I definitely don't grasp your crux.

December 17, 2008

BRETT: And I just hate the Free Credit Report.com singer. He's just too-
GREG: ERIC.
BRET: Huh?

GREG: The singer, his name is ERIC VIOLETTE. He's a 27-year-old Montreal-based actor, singer and songwriter.

BRET: WHATEVER. So I heard him in this interview, and-
GREG: OOO, probably his 11/21 appearance on Cleveland's Uncensored Net Noise podcast.

GREG: He's sort of low-energy in it, which is actually SOOOO Eric...
BRETT: YOUR BRAIN SHOULD NOT CONTAIN THIS INFORMATION!!
