Popularity rank 27 #9. Watching your friends on VH1

February 8, 2005

RONI: Man. Hard to believe. Kevin Edo, our bassist just two years ago, started "Jumpstart Malady", the most successful rock band in twenty years.
KEVIN EDO: (silent)

RONI: And here we are, still in Brooklyn, watching the "Behind the Music" about him. About Kevin Edo. So weird.
DAN: Shh! It's back on!

VH1 NARRATOR: "For several years before forming 'Malady', Edo toiled in several small unsuccessful N.Y. bands..."

DAN: Oh my God, John, get in here, they just mentioned us on TV!!
CHRISTINA: I... I gotta call m-my mom....

Popularity rank 30 #155. Which Song Will We Play?

November 6, 2006

JOHN: We can play ONE song in this contest. I say we do "Cathartic Target Practice".
RONI: "C.T.P." is not a SONG, John. It's a mass of unrelated words and notes.

JOHN: It's... it's a GOOD song!
DAN: How about that song that went so well last weekend?
RONI: (sigh) No, Dan.

DAN: What? Why not?
RONI: Because we're not playing a WEDDING this week, Dan.

RONI: I don't think this'll be a "Chicken Dance" kinda crowd.
DAN: Well, at least CONSIDER it....
JOHN: You all just... don't understand microtones.
CHRISTINA: (turns page)
