December 14, 2009

CHRISTINA: See? I posted mp3s of our demo last week.
DAN: Hey, that's a cool picture of us!

CHRISTINA: I put that up months ago... Do you guys EVER check the site?
DAN: No, checking your own website is like wearing your own T-SHIRTS.

CHRISTINA: NO! And we SHOULD wear our t-shirts, too...
RONI: We have T_SHIRTS?

DAN: Is our band, like, more successful than I thought?
CHRISTINA: No. We have a LOT of t-shirts...
RONI: Oh GOD... all these BOXES...

Popularity rank 17 #320. Amie Street

December 7, 2009

RONI: Look, no one's pirating the demo. We'll just post it on Amie Street.
JOHN: Ugh, that's that "pay what you want" 99-cent site.

RONI: It's "pay by demand". It starts cheap, but the more it gets downloaded, the higher the price goes. What do you want to charge anyway?

JOHN: At LEAST $25 dollars...
RONI: 25 DOLLARS?

RONI: For a shitty 4-song demo recorded in a Kinko's breakroom?
DAN: My boss is still mad about that mug tree you broke.
JOHN: He's a DICK...

DAN: This band needs to be gettin' cashflow positive. QUICK.
RONI: Why don't we sell our demo on our web?
CHRISTINA: Well...

JOHN: No no NO... DANGEROUS... That demo'll BitTorrent in MINUTES!
RONI: I don't think you understand BitTorrent.

JOHN: And we'll be SUED for infringement! And PIRATES will sell FREE COPIES on the STREETS!

RONI: Nor do you understand copyright law, piracy or... basic COMMERCE.
JOHN: Within DAYS we'll be in PRISON selling APPLES for CIGARETTES!

December 3, 2009

DAN: C'mon, John, I had to WORK, man...
JOHN: NO EXCUSE! Put a dollar in the "Late For Rehearsal" jar!

JOHN: We are a nation of LAWS! Not of MEN!
RONI: We're... not a NATION.
DAN: John, you don't underSTAND...

DAN: He doesn't even WORK... He gets to live off that settlement money from G.E.

DAN: I wish MY dad would run his lawnmower over a loose power line...
CHRISTINA: We are late to rehearsal a LOT...

June 9, 2009

RONI: Music theory is like a... BEAUTIFUL MATH PROBLEM. Music and math are a lot alike actually.
DAN: But... I'm TERRIBLE at math.

RONI: Well...

RONI: You're not really great at music either.

DAN: Oh yeah, so that actually makes sense.
RONI: Yeah.
