Popularity rank 6 #367. Lost the master

April 21, 2010

JAMES: The douchebag at Kinko's lost our master, Joel! Can you help us record it again?

JOEL: Well, my boss caught on to what we were doing, so... NO. I can't even UNOFFICIALLY represent you anymore.
JAMES: So... THAT'S IT?

JAMES: So we did ALL that work, NOTHING came of it, and now you're ABANDONING us?
JOEL: Well, YES.

JOEL: So you really did get a taste of what it's like to be signed to a label.

Popularity rank 7 #366. This isn’t a CD

April 19, 2010

JAMES: This isn't a CD. It's a bunch of construction paper and GLITTER.
JOHN: Uh, NO, it's a SCRAPBOOK and it's work of ART.

JAMES: We didn't order a SCRAPBOOK. We paid you to reproduce our CD.
JOHN: Oh, no, I destroyed your CD.

JAMES: That was our MASTER!
JOHN: It was GARBAGE. THIS captures the essence of your band.

JAMES: THIS is our album cover surrounded by pictures of a baby in a LOBSTER costume!
JOHN: It's... SO much more... Did you even READ the puffy paint?

March 21, 2010

JAMES: This Twilight kid is amazing. I've never seen someone so over-medicated and over-sexed still stand up straight. How does he do it?

JOEL: Star power. Pure star power.

A pause.

JOEL: Also, he has these neat biometric leg braces they use for people with M.S.
JAMES: Cool...
