Popularity rank 12 #320. Amie Street

December 7, 2009

RONI: Look, no one's pirating the demo. We'll just post it on Amie Street.
JOHN: Ugh, that's that "pay what you want" 99-cent site.

RONI: It's "pay by demand". It starts cheap, but the more it gets downloaded, the higher the price goes. What do you want to charge anyway?

JOHN: At LEAST $25 dollars...
RONI: 25 DOLLARS?

RONI: For a shitty 4-song demo recorded in a Kinko's breakroom?

Popularity rank 13 #85. Finishing during lunch hour

December 1, 2005

DAN: Hurry up with the last verse, dude. I only get an hour for lunch.
JOHN: (sigh) Dan. I will hurry as much as I can.

JOHN: But if you're serious about our song-a-day project, then stop putting limits on my creativity.
DAN: What "limits"?

JOHN: Uh, limits like lunch hours, limits like bar chords, limits like 3-person backing vocals!
DAN: I just think it's unrealistic to write parts for a children's choir!

JOHN: Build your walls high, Dan! I'lll happily hurdle them!
DAN: The bar chords is just 'til I can find my Curt Mitchell videos....

June 14, 2005

JOHN: You're skipping band practice? I'm starting to think this "day job" is becoming a career, Dan!
DAN: John, I work at Kinko's. It's not a career, dude....

JOHN: You just have fun in this life you've chosen, Dan. Enjoy your "job"! And your "comfort"! Your "picket fences" and "minivans"!
DAN: It's one practice, John!

DAN: Whatever, man, look, you still want me to pass along your resume?
JOHN: Yes I do!

JOHN: And maybe make a few copies on that cool marbled paper, too....
DAN: You officially now owe my, like, a billion dollars, by the way....

Popularity rank 15 #366. This isn’t a CD

April 19, 2010

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?
