Popularity rank 1 #250. Greg and the Cloud

August 18, 2009

BRETT: Hey Greg. Smita broke up with me. She's dating this guy now, "The Cloud". He's the embodiment of all Internet knowledge.
GREG: OK...

GREG: Why're you're hanging out with her new dude?
BRETT: Well, I want to hate him, but he keeps analyzing me and recommending awesome music.

THE CLOUD: Hello.
GREG: Uh... hi.

THE CLOUD: Based on your greeting I think you might enjoy "Band of Bees".

Popularity rank 2 #31. Time estimates for the concert tonight

July 19, 2005

GREG: OK. So. Doors open at 7. Opening band starts at 8.
BRETT: They're done at 9:30. The main band goes on at 10.

GREG: They play all the crappy songs off their new album for an hour.
BRETT: They play old, crowd-pleasing radio hits until 11:30.

GREG: We get there at midnight, to catch the encore with the heartfelt acoustic number.
BRETT: ...and the showstopping cover of some Kinks' song.

GREG: OK, great... hey, which band are we seeing again?
BRETT: I forget. I think they were big in the 90's. Or 80's.

Popularity rank 4 #236. I have to hate MGMT

June 10, 2009

BRETT: Well, as of 3pm, MGMT has over 300,000 fans on Facebook. I have to hate them now.

BRETT: They're becoming mainstream. An anti-MGMT backlash is inevitable. It's like the STOCK MARKET. I gotta get out before the bubble bursts...

GREG: But why so SOON? Aren't you being overly cautious?
BRETT: You don't underSTAND... You weren't there in '99.

BRETT: ...when the bottom fell out of the RETRO SWING market...
GREG: Oh right... the Bryan Setzer "correction."
