Popularity rank 3 #170. Full metal iPod

September 15, 2008

GREG: This is my iPod. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My iPod is my life. Without it, I am useless. Without me, it is useless...
GREG: My iPod and I know what counts is not music reviews, or the noise of Pitchfork... it's the hits that count. Before Steve Jobs, we swear this creed...
GREG: My iPod and I are masters of my enemies, defenders of my questionable taste, saviors of my life...
GREG: So be it, until there is no enemy... but only Feist.

Popularity rank 4 #228. Everyone is a Ghostbuster

April 7, 2009

JOHN: I think you can break down any group of people into Ghostbusters roles.
JOHN: Like with our band: Roni's our Igon, the technical genius. You're our Ray, the heart. Christina's our Winston, the workmanlike outsider.
JOHN: And I'm Peter Venkman, the charming leader who gets the chicks and saves the day.
DAN: That's cool.
DAN: That club owner last night was, like, our Vigo...
JOHN: No, he was our Zuul. Vigo's from 2. Vigo's not canon.
