December 23, 2009

CHRISTINA: Well, our site's traffic has returned to normal, and it looks like about 100,000 people downloaded our demo.

RONI: That's AMAZON!
JOHN: What's the point? They CAME and they LEFT. We got ZERO mailing list signups...

JOHN: And we sold ZERO t-shirts.
CHRISTINA: Actually we sold TWO t-shirts.
DAN: No, I bought those two.

JOHN: Great! We sold NEGATIVE two t-shirts...
DAN: Hey, is there a way for you to not, like, cash my Paypal thing until Friday?

Popularity rank 22 #325. Site’s down

December 18, 2009

CHRISTINA: Hmm... our site's down. Too many people are trying to download our demo mp3s.
JOHN: WHAT!? What's the fucking point of that?

JOHN: When our website WORKS, no one LOOKS at it, and as soon as people WANT to look at it, it friggin' shuts OFF? Who's our hosting company? O'HENRY?!

Silence.

JOHN: Yeah, that's right... I JUST MADE AN O'HENRY REFERENCE!
RONI: Today is a weird day.
CHRISTINA: Yes.

Popularity rank 23 #324. Brooklyn Vegan link

December 16, 2009

CHRISTINA: Whoa, looks like BROOKLYN VEGAN linked to one of our mp3s.
JOHN: Whoa!
DAN: We're FAMOUS! Which one?

CHRISTINA: "Bickerhound"!
JOHN: No no NO! "Bickerhound" is a B-SIDE! "Cathartic TARGET Practice" is our breakout HIT!

JOHN: He needs to change it. Gimme this vegan guy's email number...
CHRISTINA: Jonathan, he can link to whatever he wants to.

JOHN: NO, he'll do what we SAY! WE'RE FAMOUS NOW!
DAN: YEAH! Ha ha!
RONI: You two have an extremely low fame tolerance.

Popularity rank 24 #323. Wearing your own t-shirts

December 14, 2009

CHRISTINA: See? I posted mp3s of our demo last week.
DAN: Hey, that's a cool picture of us!

CHRISTINA: I put that up months ago... Do you guys EVER check the site?
DAN: No, checking your own website is like wearing your own T-SHIRTS.

CHRISTINA: NO! And we SHOULD wear our t-shirts, too...
RONI: We have T_SHIRTS?

DAN: Is our band, like, more successful than I thought?
CHRISTINA: No. We have a LOT of t-shirts...
RONI: Oh GOD... all these BOXES...

Popularity rank 25 #322. Yelling contest

December 11, 2009

RONI: All right, fine. We won't sell our demo on the website.
CHRISTINA: No, we won't... cos I already posted the mp3s on our site for FREE.

JOHN: What? WHEN?
CHRISTINA: I tried to tell you earlier, but you cut me off. And I was not going to get into a YELLING contest with you.

JOHN: CHRISTINA! When the fuck did you DO this?! Can we take them DOWN?!
CHRISTINA: Well, Jonathan, I'd be happy to tell you...

CHRISTINA: But I don't really care for your tone of voice.
JOHN: Don't you MOM-TALK me, Christina!! DON'T YOU DARE!!!
