#107. Survey result graphics on MySpace

February 20, 2006

DAN: Look what I put on our MySpace page.... I took a survey, see, I'm 45% redneck. And, here, of all the Muppets, I'm most like Gonzo. Ha! I bet our fans love this stuff....

RONI: We don't have FANS, Dan. And unprofessional crap isn't helping us get any.
DAN: Melanie's sort of like a "fan".

RONI: Your little crush came to ONE show. And she could give a fuck about which Golden Girl you're most like.
DAN: I bet Melanie's very interested to know I'm a "Rose"!

DAN: And I don't have a CRUSH on her.... "Dorothy"....

#108. Using the band

February 21, 2006

JOHN: I'm concerned about these messages you're getting through the band's MySpace account, Dan.
DAN: Yeah, girls seem to like to message bands....

JOHN: Dan! The account is for the band! For promotion! Not for personal use! There must be separation of church and band!
DAN: Look, John, I--

JOHN: No, YOU look, Dan, OK? MySpace is about music! It's not some cheap dating service!

DAN: John, you and the founder of MySpace are the only people on earth who actually believe that statement.
JOHN: It's me and Tom vs. the world!

#109. Side projects on MySpace

February 22, 2006

JOHN: See... there's a Rilo Kiley MySpace page, and separate pages for The Elected and Jenny Lewis. Separate.

JOHN: Now, our account is for the Ambulance Men. So... if you have something to post about your side project stuff, make a separate account.

RONI: For the last time, you MORON, I am not posting about a "side project"....

RONI: I am posting a congratulations message to my sister about her engagement.
JOHN: You'll probably be singing at the wedding, Roni! It's a slippery slope!

#110. MySpace blog

February 23, 2006

RONI: Why do we need a MySpace blog? We already have places on MySpace to post shows and announcements.
JOHN: The blog is where I post about current events.

RONI: Who the hell cares what you have to say about current events?
JOHN: I'll have you know my first post has already inspired some very spirited user comments.

RONI: This is just Dan and you posting back and forth, idiot.
JOHN: Well... you gotta prime the pump, Roni.

DAN: By the way, you never responded to my post about why Hamas sucks dick.
JOHN: I do not respond to flame-baiting, Daniel....

#111. Shutting off the MySpace page

February 24, 2006

JOHN: OK, band meeting. I'm shutting off our MySpace account.
RONI: Thank GOD.

JOHN: It was tearing the Ambulance Men apart. And distracting us from more important things.
RONI: Like, actually practicing ever?

JOHN: Also... this 15-year-old sent us a... photo of herself, and I got really creeped out.

DAN: What was she--
JOHN: I don't wanna talk about it.
CHRISTINA: MySpace IS creepy... feels like the whole site's covered with a clear, sticky film....
