#103. MySpace influences

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.
CHRISTINA: Zappa knew some chords.

#104. ‘Sounds Like’ section on MySpace

February 15, 2006

RONI: You have to change the "Sounds Like" spot on our MySpace page.
JOHN: I stand by what I put.

RONI: It's bullshit! It's impossible to sound like Sigur Ros AND Rammstein.
JOHN: Well, I dunno... in my head, that's what we sound like.

RONI: Well, what sort of fucked up acoustics are in your head then?
JOHN: You would hear what I mean if we recorded on better equipment.

RONI: And where can one buy this magical equipment, John? Do unicorns sell it?
JOHN: Fine!! "Sounds like: every other shitty local band"! Happy?!

#105. Meeting MySpace friends

February 16, 2006

JOHN: OK, click there to ask them to be our friend on MySpace.
DAN: But they're not our friend.

JOHN: That's OK, just ask.
DAN: Shouldn't I send them a message first?

JOHN: No, we wait until they accept us, then we post a comment that says, "Thanks for the add."
DAN: Do we ever actually talk with them?

JOHN: No, no, you see, Dan, MySpace is what's known as an "anti-social network".
DAN: So this cuts all the... interaction out of friendship.

February 17, 2006

DAN: Some cute girl sent us a MySpace message. Can I add her as a friend?
JOHN: Not so fast... What'd she put as her age?

DAN: Well... I mean, it says 99. But--
JOHN: No, no, no. No way. No.

DAN: Come on! Heh, you know, like, she's probably, like, 23, right? But, heh, she puts 99, and like... like....

DAN: (sigh) Yeah, I guess it's not funny.
JOHN: Standards, Dan. Fake 99-year-olds don't get adds.
