Popularity rank 1 #88. New My Morning Jacket CD

January 24, 2006

SONY GUY 1: On behalf of Sony BMG, we're not only personally apologizing for the rootkit fiasco, we're also giving you a new My Morning Jacket CD. Here you go.
GREG: Thanks.

GREG: Are... are you going to let go of it?
SONY GUY 1: What? Why?

GREG: Well. I dunno... because... it's my CD now.
SONY GUY 1: It's, it's not yours, Greg! We still own the music, so, so don't just, don't--

SONY GUY 2: Jerry. Be cool, man.
SONY GUY 1: He's a pirate, Curtis! I see it in his eyes! He's got that lean, hungry, BitTorrent-y look about him!

Popularity rank 2 #322. Yelling contest

December 11, 2009

RONI: All right, fine. We won't sell our demo on the website.
CHRISTINA: No, we won't... cos I already posted the mp3s on our site for FREE.

JOHN: What? WHEN?
CHRISTINA: I tried to tell you earlier, but you cut me off. And I was not going to get into a YELLING contest with you.

JOHN: CHRISTINA! When the fuck did you DO this?! Can we take them DOWN?!
CHRISTINA: Well, Jonathan, I'd be happy to tell you...

CHRISTINA: But I don't really care for your tone of voice.
JOHN: Don't you MOM-TALK me, Christina!! DON'T YOU DARE!!!

Popularity rank 3 #198. Told you so

January 16, 2009

BART: Frank, we're laying you off. The label's in the shitter, largely because we failed to follow your constant advice to embrace online music sharing.

BART: We're not giving you a severance package, but I am willing to let you scream "I told you so" very loudly in my face a few times.
SIMON: OK.

SIMON: I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU SO! I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO WITH THIS MUSIC SHARING SHIT!

SIMON: Thanks... hey, can I get a letter of recommendation?
BART: Sure thing.

December 31, 2008

GREG: So bands shouldn't sell songs to TV shows, movies and commercials?
BRETT: No, it taints them.

GREG: But you're also against them charging for mp3s and, like, copyright in general?
BRETT: Yes. Music should be free.

GREG: How do expect these guys to LIVE? Art takes TIME. It takes MONEY.
BRETT: I just want artists to have IDEALS.

GREG: You also seem to want them to have TRUST FUNDS.
