February 14, 2006

JOHN: OK... then MySpace has a spot for our influences.
CHRISTINA: How about John Adams?
DAN: John Adams?

CHRISTINA: Yeah. I read a biography of him last month. It's really influenced me.
JOHN: I'm not putting John Adams, Christina.

CHRISTINA: OK... but he's one of the most unheralded heros of the American revolution.
JOHN: Great! But how many chords did he know?

RONI: How many chords do you know?
JOHN: I know some chords!
DAN: How 'bout Frank Zappa? He was a revolutionary sorta dude.

Popularity rank 63 #101. Plugging parties on MySpace

February 10, 2006

JOHN: You can't post your party on the myspace page, Dan. It's for band business only.
DAN: You posted last week about your brother's barbeque.

JOHN: Totes different situaish, dude. That... that was an official Ambulance Men CD release party.
DAN: What... that one CD you gave Gary?

JOHN: One CD can be enough, Dan! File-sharing! Word-of-mouth! Look at the Arctic Monkeys!
DAN: But... it was just a mix CD of Elvis Costello songs.

JOHN: (sigh) OK, look, Dan... your parties tend to be lametown. And it... it could reflect poorly on the band.
DAN: No, no! I told you: No Cranium this year!

Popularity rank 64 #100. MySpace friends list

February 9, 2006

RONI: She should be able to add her husband as a friend on our myspace page, John.
JOHN: No, look, we gotta keep our list looking hip and young.

RONI: And female and half-naked.
JOHN: Hey, I don't send friend requests, OK? All these people on here sought us out.

RONI: Really? So Brooke Burke and the Suicide Girls are big fans of all our shitty demos you posted?
JOHN: Maybe they are!

CHRISTINA: John, I'm not even a fan of those demos.
RONI: No, he's right, Christina! I bet they all get together and have naked listening parties!

February 8, 2006

JOHN: So here's the MySpace page I built for the band.
RONI: You know, we already had one, John.

JOHN: These're pictures of the band.
RONI: That's why you had to get the username AmbulanceMen2 instead of just AmbulanceMen.

JOHN: And these people are our "friends".
RONI: Yeah, I know. I set up our other one, John.

JOHN: You see, Roni, MySpace is an online social "network"....
RONI: Yeah, thanks, I under-- Oh gross. You know you can add people other than porn stars, you douche.
