Popularity rank 11 #42. Less drums, less bass

October 3, 2005

ROCCO: OK... less drums. Good now?
KEVIN EDO: I need, like, the guitar to really jump out. Maybe lose the bass.

ROCCO: OK. But it's almost just guitar and vocals now.
KEVIN EDO: Mmm... can you distort the vocals?

ROCCO: Well, yeah. I mean, the song'll sound totally different.
KEVIN EDO: Good. Yeah, good, I want to hardly recognize Gordon's God damn song.

ROCCO: Kevin... does Gordon know about this mixing session?
KEVIN EDO: Oh yeah, sure, he... ooo, hey, could I record just a whole new guitar riff?

JAMES: This isn't a CD. It's a bunch of construction paper and GLITTER.
JOHN: Uh, NO, it's a SCRAPBOOK and it's work of ART.

JAMES: We didn't order a SCRAPBOOK. We paid you to reproduce our CD.
JOHN: Oh, no, I destroyed your CD.

JAMES: That was our MASTER!
JOHN: It was GARBAGE. THIS captures the essence of your band.

JAMES: THIS is our album cover surrounded by pictures of a baby in a LOBSTER costume!
JOHN: It's... SO much more... Did you even READ the puffy paint?
