Popularity rank 1 #230. What’s that called?

April 9, 2009

COREY BROWN: Hey, you sounded great up there. What was that called?

RONI: Well, my guitar solo used a scale called the Hungarian Minor (or Harmonic Minor #4). It has a large number of half steps and a slightly ambiguous tonal center.

COREY BROWN: I just sort of meant, "What's the name of the song?"
RONI: Oh.

RONI: I have no idea.

February 12, 2009

JOEL: Hey, I really liked your set. I work for Hancock Records, maybe you all could come in some time.
INDIE ROCK DUDE: No thanks, man. We self-publish.

JOEL: Well, just think about it. We could get you recorded, get you in stores and get your music in front of a larger audience.

INDIE ROCK DUDE: We... HAVE recorded, the album's on iTUNES and we've got a nationwide fan club with over FOUR MILLION members.

JOEL: Can you just take my card? I'm supposed to give out 10 each night.
INDIE ROCK DUDE: Sure.

JOHN: ...and if you get another guitar, we can even do the thing where we make the audience wait while you switch them.

DAN: Don't they hate that?
JOHN: Audience golden rule: what they HATE, they RESPECT.

DAN: Even that night at Rockwood? That was all... respect.
JOHN: Oh, totally. TOTAL respect.

DAN: Even that old handicapped woman?
