#360. DIY it

April 5, 2010

JOEL: OK! You've got your recordings! I say you DIY it, put out the EP yourself.
JAMES: Can't we get the label to help do it?

JOEL: No, I didn't officially sign you. I can't offer the support of the label.
JAMES: If you WERE officially representing us, what support would the label offer?

JOEL: Oh, we'd second-guess every creative decision you'd make. Then we'd probably sow discontent amongst the band, pit you against one another.

JAMES: We can DIY that part, too, I guess.
JOEL: We also promise promotion and then don't deliver, which is a nice feature...

#186. Letting your taste be defined

December 19, 2008

BRETT: Just realize that between Free Credit Report.com and iPod ads, you now let your music taste be defined completely by random marketing executives.

GREG: Hey!

GREG: It's also defined by Grey's Anatomy soundtracks!

BRETT: You do not grasp the crux of my point.
GREG: No... I definitely don't grasp your crux.

#184. Ad-agency-based Rock

December 15, 2008

GREG: The FreeCreditReport.com commercials have opened my eyes to the wonders of AD-AGENCY-BASED ROCK, Brett. I'm SUPER into the Martin Agency in Richmond.

GREG: Their senior copy writer, David Muhlenfeld, is, like, the next JIMMY HARNED!
BRETT: ...who?

GREG: Jimmy Harned. Of Tonefarmer? He did Subway's classic "FIVE DOLLAR FOOTLONG" spot? Wow, do you not...? Here, lemme...

GREG: SHOOT, my boutique-firm stuff is on my other iPod... tell you what, I'll make you a mix...
BRETT: That's... OK.
