Popularity rank 6 #158. Ride Home From The Contest

December 15, 2006

JOHN: "Show of hands".... Pfft.... It's a fucking unscientific way to decide a band contest.
DAN: That bartender was cute, right?
CHRISTINA: She was, yeah.

DAN: Think she liked me?
CHRISTINA: I dunno, Danny. I mean, she never talked to you. Or looked directly at you.

JOHN: I mean, the guy running the contest was in the winning band! That's bullshit!
RONI: John, we just didn't bring enough people. That's it.

JOHN: We should contact the Better Business Bureau.
RONI: Yeah, I'll call "Fox 5 On Our Side".
DAN: Maybe she was gay.
CHRISTINA: I bet she was, sweetie.

Popularity rank 7 #130. The Ninth Encore

July 21, 2006

DAN: Hey... the first encore was pretty good, right?
JOHN: Oh sure. Our acoustic cover of "War Pigs" was transcen-friggin'-dental.

DAN: The ninth encore was a little much though, huh?
JOHN: Hard to say.

(The lights go out.)

DAN: I mean, I sort of liked playing with the house lights on.
JOHN: Hey, when d'you think someone'll be back to unlock the place? Noon?

Popularity rank 8 #125. Post-show with Kevin Edo

March 29, 2006

KULA: Great show tonight, Kevin. Now this tour is for a live album, right?
KEVIN EDO: Yeah. But we're not playing or singing live during the shows.

KEVIN EDO: So the album'll be live recordings of pre-recorded songs, with a little crowd noise in the background.

KEVIN EDO: We charge people for CDs, we charge them to hear the same recordings at our shows, and now we'll charge them to hear their own damn clapping.

KEVIN EDO: It's either interesting conceptual art... or a really dick thing to do. Either way, it'll be out in September. Listerine strip?
KULA: No... no thanks.

Popularity rank 10 #26. The show was good or horrible

June 7, 2005

JOHN: No way! It was a horrible show! We messed up 3 of 4 songs!
DAN: But we got free drinks, John! 2 each! And they were totally strong, too.

JOHN: Dan, man, the acoustics in there made us sound like a God damn jug band....
DAN: But there were people there, man. Almost 15! 2 of 'em were even girls!

JOHN: That did not go unnoticed, dude. The chickfactor was huge.
DAN: I winked at one of them, but that was right before I fell off trhe stage.

JOHN: Yeah, that was more unfortunate. You need to be more aware of your amp, dude....
DAN: Still, she helped me back up. Definite vibe-age.
