Popularity rank 43 #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 44 #134. Lopsided recommendation relationship

July 31, 2006

GREG: Brett, what's a new band I should listen to?
BRETT: No way, man, you know, our whole recommendation relationship is lopsided.

BRETT: In just the past month, I've introduced you to Hinkley, Okkervil River, the Thieves, Food Will Win the War... what have you ever recommended to me?

GREG: I... sent you that video of the dancing baby.

BRETT: That was in 1997, Greg.
GREG: Oh, AND! AND... I turned you on to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
