#36. Writing a classified ad

August 23, 2005

DAN: $25 gets us a ten-word classified ad. So let's see... "Bassist Wanted... for... rock band..."

JOHN: More like "Bassist wanted for harmony-heavt, post-garage, low-to-mid-fi, pre-post-punk, alt-countrified, funk-based, psychadeliphonic, teenage-victory-rock...."

JOHN: "...band."
DAN: OK, so that's... well, we have to a few words, John.

JOHN: Then I dunno, cut "band" or that beginning part. The rest is pretty essential.
DAN: Oh wait... shoot, it says, "Limit: five hyphenated genres."

#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?!
