Popularity rank 21 #152. Contest For New Bands

September 25, 2006

JOHN: So guys: gig this Friday. A contest for new bands.
CHRISTINA: We've been a band for 8 years, John.

JOHN: We've got to bring 10 people, so plug this bitch.
RONI: A bringer show? Jesus....
DAN: How much money is the prize?

JOHN: The prize, Dan, is a whole lot of the most valuable currency in the music business: EXPOSURE.

RONI: And of course, the title of "City's Most Gullible Band".
JOHN: Oh, hey, the entry fee's $150, so... pony up.

Popularity rank 22 #111. Shutting off the MySpace page

February 24, 2006

JOHN: OK, band meeting. I'm shutting off our MySpace account.
RONI: Thank GOD.

JOHN: It was tearing the Ambulance Men apart. And distracting us from more important things.
RONI: Like, actually practicing ever?

JOHN: Also... this 15-year-old sent us a... photo of herself, and I got really creeped out.

DAN: What was she--
JOHN: I don't wanna talk about it.
CHRISTINA: MySpace IS creepy... feels like the whole site's covered with a clear, sticky film....

Popularity rank 23 #97. The “Next Level” Talk

February 6, 2006

JOHN: OK, band meeting, guys. Right here, right now...
RONI: (sigh) This is a practice, John... it IS a band meeting.

JOHN: Look... guys... we need to step it up...
DAN: What's going on?
RONI: Oh, it's the "Next Level" talk.

JOHN: It's time we become the band we're destined to become.
DAN: Oh, man, Roni, I hate the "Next Level" talk.
RONI: Yeah....

JOHN: The Ambulance Man... NED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
CHRISTINA: Still... better than the "Put Up or Shut Up" talk.
RONI: Sure.
DAN: True.

Popularity rank 24 #61. Rehearsal day solution

October 28, 2005

DAN: OK, so it's settled. We'll keep band rehearsal on Wednesday nights. Except when there's a new "Lost" on. Then we practice on Mondays.

DAN: Unless it's the first Monday of the month. Then we go on Thursday. But if Roni's little sister has a soccer game, we do Friday.

CHRISTINA: If I'm not out-of-town.
DAN: Yeah. If you are, we either cancel, or we do three separate half-hour rehearsals the following week.

RONI: Wouldn't it have just been easier to break up the band?
DAN: We also voted 3-to-1 that "Cathartic Target Practice" is a totebags lame song.
JOHN: It's a GREAT song.

Popularity rank 25 #59. Married people can’t do weekends

October 26, 2005

CHRISTINA: I... I can't rehearse on Fridays.
RONI: You married people are so protective of your weekends.
JOHN: Heh. Maybe that's when their sex is scheduled.
DAN: Heh.

CHRISTINA: N-no... the only scheduled sex we have is after these band rehearsals. Playing drums sort of... sort of "gets me going."

DAN: Christina.... Ew.

DAN: Well, rehearsal on any day feels weird now....
CHRISTINA: I think it's that double foot pedal.
JOHN: Roni.... Does she stare at my butt while I sing?
RONI: No one EVER stares at your butt, John.
