July 24, 2006

DAN: So the chorus is E, then A, then "The Eliminator."
JOHN: "The Eliminator."

DAN: Yeah, it's a new chord I invented.
JOHN: How do you know it's new?

DAN: Well, it's not in the book.
JOHN: The little laminated pamphlet that came with your guitar? C'mon: be professional about this shit, Dan.

JOHN: You have to look on Wikipedia, too.
DAN: Anyway... then it's E, Bminor, "The Buzzard's Gambit," and back to E.

Popularity rank 57 #130. The Ninth Encore

July 21, 2006

DAN: Hey... the first encore was pretty good, right?
JOHN: Oh sure. Our acoustic cover of "War Pigs" was transcen-friggin'-dental.

DAN: The ninth encore was a little much though, huh?
JOHN: Hard to say.

(The lights go out.)

DAN: I mean, I sort of liked playing with the house lights on.
JOHN: Hey, when d'you think someone'll be back to unlock the place? Noon?

Popularity rank 58 #128. Putting Names In A Love Song

July 17, 2006

DAN: I dunno, John. I think if you're writing a song about someone you love, you gotta put her name in the song.
JOHN: Yeah.

JOHN: Man, but NOTHING rhymes with "Goldfrapp."

A pause.

DAN: "Mole... plaque"?
JOHN: Slant rhymes are for pussies, Dan.

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 60 #110. MySpace blog

February 23, 2006

RONI: Why do we need a MySpace blog? We already have places on MySpace to post shows and announcements.
JOHN: The blog is where I post about current events.

RONI: Who the hell cares what you have to say about current events?
JOHN: I'll have you know my first post has already inspired some very spirited user comments.

RONI: This is just Dan and you posting back and forth, idiot.
JOHN: Well... you gotta prime the pump, Roni.

DAN: By the way, you never responded to my post about why Hamas sucks dick.
JOHN: I do not respond to flame-baiting, Daniel....
