Popularity rank 11 #146. No James Blunt in Maasailand

August 21, 2006

BRETT: That's why I sought you out. I wanna live far away from the Western world, far from anyone who's ever even heard of James Blunt.

OKUYU: We never hear of him. Or this song you speak of.
BRETT: Oh, thank God...

BRETT: What's... wait, that's the song! That's "You're Beautiful"!
OKUYU: That one of Akele's blasted ringtones. They waste of money.

BRETT: I'll... I'll be going then...
AKELE: You say my DS waste of money, too. Now you play all night!
OKUYU: Only Brain Age, Akele. And Nintendogs

Popularity rank 12 #120. Figuring out the setlist

March 17, 2006

KEVIN EDO: OK, we're pulling into Chicago. Let's talk setlist.
PETER WELD: Whatever you guys decide is fine.
GORDON CRANWICK: I want at least 3 of my songs in the show.

KEVIN EDO: Well... now we do need to play our hits.
PETER WELD: Someone just post the list on my high-hat.
GORDON CRANWICK: Is that some sort of indirect jab at my songs?

KEVIN EDO: I didn't mean to be indirect, Gordon.
PETER WELD: And grab me for the encore. I'll be here in the bus.
GORDON CRANWICK: Fuck you, Kevin! I'm not playing tonight!

KEVIN EDO: None of us are playing. They're dubbing in the music.
GORDON CRANWICK: Well, then I'm not FAKE playing!
PETER WELD: Shit. OK, I need somebody's Warcraft login.

Popularity rank 13 #119. The redesigned tour bus

March 15, 2006

KEVIN EDO: Wow, you totally redesigned the tour bus, Peter.
PETER WELD: Yeah, dude, and I am HELLA psyched for this tour now.

PETER WELD: Check it out: PS2, GameCube, XBox 360. And I set up a full HD theater in the back.
KEVIN EDO: That's cool, man. And this little screen here?

PETER WELD: A GPS system. This dot represents the location of the RFID chip I secretly implanted in my wife.
KEVIN EDO: That's... creepy, man.

KEVIN EDO: Do... you have any more chips?
PETER WELD: Whoa... she's breached the 25-mile perimeter! Code red, Joe! Drive, drive!

Popularity rank 14 #311. Malady hears about Mega-Tune

November 18, 2009

GORDON: Kevin! I have some really bad, really WEIRD, news!
KEVIN: Not now, Gordon. I'm playing Brutal Legend with Jason Mraz.

GORDON: The label developed this process called Mega-Tune. It bastardizes our songs to these commercially-acceptable one-note versions!
KEVIN: OK...

GORDON: Kevin! Our songs... our life's work.... they're homogenizing it. They're massacring it!!!
KEVIN: Let's not overreact, OK? I'm sure the label has its reasons.

GORDON: On a side note, due to this process, we'll be losing a tiny amount of royalty money.
KEVIN: We must STOP this, Gordon! We WILL stop this! Though the heavens fall!

September 18, 2009

KEVIN: Look, Ted, I KNOW I'm a piece of SHIT, OK? And I KNOW you think my band is... pop TRASH. But I made this game because...

KEVIN: I was just trying to do something to RELATE to you.
TED: You never... you never TALKED like that to me before, dad.

TED: It's really... TOUCHING.
KEVIN: (sniff) Well, THANKS...

TED: It reminds me of a GRIZZLY BEAR song I like...
KEVIN: AUGH! Ted! FUCK GRIZZLY BEAR! They're just RADIOHEAD with a copy of the NEW YORKER shoved up their ass!
