Popularity rank 77 #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 78 #99. Explaining the MySpace page

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.

RONI: (sigh) This is a practice, John... it IS a band meeting.

JOHN: Look... guys... we need to step it up...
DAN: What's going on?
RONI: Oh, it's the "Next Level" talk.

JOHN: It's time we become the band we're destined to become.
DAN: Oh, man, Roni, I hate the "Next Level" talk.
RONI: Yeah....

JOHN: The Ambulance Man... NED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

RONI: Sure.

Popularity rank 80 #85. Finishing during lunch hour

December 1, 2005

DAN: Hurry up with the last verse, dude. I only get an hour for lunch.
JOHN: (sigh) Dan. I will hurry as much as I can.

JOHN: But if you're serious about our song-a-day project, then stop putting limits on my creativity.
DAN: What "limits"?

JOHN: Uh, limits like lunch hours, limits like bar chords, limits like 3-person backing vocals!
DAN: I just think it's unrealistic to write parts for a children's choir!

JOHN: Build your walls high, Dan! I'lll happily hurdle them!
DAN: The bar chords is just 'til I can find my Curt Mitchell videos....
