March 3, 2006

GORDON CRANWICK: What? On TOUR? What-- where do you come off, Kevin? Fuck you. You treat me and Peter like SHIT. We have ZERO artistic control anymore.

GORDON CRANWICK: Not until we become a BAND again, and not some Kevin Edo promotional machine, will I even CONSIDER standing on stage with you, you fucking... FUCKHOLE!!

SOUND EFFECT: SLAM!

GORDON CRANWICK: OK.... That felt good. So, first date's in Chicago?
KEVIN EDO: Yeah, on Friday.

Popularity rank 17 #44. Fixed mix

October 5, 2005

GORDON CRANWICK: This mix sucks, Kevin! You purposefully made a crappy mix of the one song I have on this album!
KEVIN EDO: That's not true.

GORDON CRANWICK: It's a fix! You fixed the mix!
KEVIN EDO: (sigh) I did the best mix I could with that song, Gordon.

GORDON CRANWICK: The best mix?! I told you Peter's drums were lame, why didn't you turn them up?!

KEVIN EDO: I can turn up the drums, Gordon, but I can't turn up the heart!
PETER WELD: My drums were lame. You know, I don't think I get your song, Gordon.

Popularity rank 19 #311. Malady hears about Mega-Tune

November 18, 2009

GORDON: Kevin! I have some really bad, really WEIRD, news!
KEVIN: Not now, Gordon. I'm playing Brutal Legend with Jason Mraz.

GORDON: The label developed this process called Mega-Tune. It bastardizes our songs to these commercially-acceptable one-note versions!
KEVIN: OK...

GORDON: Kevin! Our songs... our life's work.... they're homogenizing it. They're massacring it!!!
KEVIN: Let's not overreact, OK? I'm sure the label has its reasons.

GORDON: On a side note, due to this process, we'll be losing a tiny amount of royalty money.
KEVIN: We must STOP this, Gordon! We WILL stop this! Though the heavens fall!
