#30. Buying a CD/consumer revolution

July 12, 2005

GREG: Do you know why I'm here in this damn Tower Records buying this album? Because I support this band. Because I believe in this band.

GREG: Because I want to be part of a full-scale consumer revolution that brings them to their rightful place as the kings of God damn rock n' roll!!!

CHLORIS: That'll be $18.99.
GREG: Do you take credit cards, my friend!?

BRETT: Can I burn that from you later?
GREG: Sure, man... make a copy for Kim, too.
CHLORIS: This is coming up as declined, sir.

#29. School paper

July 5, 2005

JOHN: Are you "Ari Krumbein"?
SETH: Ari? I think he's in study hall.

JOHN: You tell him John from the Ambulance Men would like to talk about this "review" he wrote in your school "paper".
SETH: How'd you even get a copy of that?

JOHN: And you tell him we do not sound like, "the Bravery covering Lionel Richie, and not in a good way."
SETH: Does Mr. Stahl know you're here?

JOHN: And also tell him this picture he used it outdated and that this press packet has some newer shots....
SETH: I have teacher of the year bios to copyedit, man.

#28. We are not a beard band.

June 21, 2005

DAN: I'm not growing a beard. I just didn't shave this weekend.
JOHN: Well, good. Because we're not really a beard band.

JOHN: The Sadies, Widespread Panic, that dude in Built to Spill, those guys can rock out beards. We can't.

DAN: What about Coldplay? They have beards sometimes.
JOHN: Well, they shouldn't. Guys in Coldplay should be rockin'... sideburns... or maybe some well-trimmed muttonchops. Maybe.

DAN: What about my Jew 'fro.
JOHN: Your Jew 'fro rules. Gives us that Mars Volta vibe.

#27. The day job is taking over your life

June 14, 2005

JOHN: You're skipping band practice? I'm starting to think this "day job" is becoming a career, Dan!
DAN: John, I work at Kinko's. It's not a career, dude....

JOHN: You just have fun in this life you've chosen, Dan. Enjoy your "job"! And your "comfort"! Your "picket fences" and "minivans"!
DAN: It's one practice, John!

DAN: Whatever, man, look, you still want me to pass along your resume?
JOHN: Yes I do!

JOHN: And maybe make a few copies on that cool marbled paper, too....
DAN: You officially now owe my, like, a billion dollars, by the way....

#26. The show was good or horrible

June 7, 2005

JOHN: No way! It was a horrible show! We messed up 3 of 4 songs!
DAN: But we got free drinks, John! 2 each! And they were totally strong, too.

JOHN: Dan, man, the acoustics in there made us sound like a God damn jug band....
DAN: But there were people there, man. Almost 15! 2 of 'em were even girls!

JOHN: That did not go unnoticed, dude. The chickfactor was huge.
DAN: I winked at one of them, but that was right before I fell off trhe stage.

JOHN: Yeah, that was more unfortunate. You need to be more aware of your amp, dude....
DAN: Still, she helped me back up. Definite vibe-age.
