Sixth sense for pop

Nov 2, 2009

JOEL: His sense of pop music is unCANNY. When asked to list songs he liked, he recited Clear Channel's ENTIRE Adult Album Alternative playlist.
JOEL: We ask him his favorite song every five minutes, and he's somehow able to always list the current top single on iTunes at that EXACT moment.
TESTER: What about now? GREG: "Fireflies" by Owl City... no, wait, NO... actually it's "Replay" by Iyaz.
BART: FAScinating... GREG: Wait, NOW it's the Glee cast version of "Alone". NO... "Take a Bow"! NO!! "ALONE"!!!

Dating the Cloud

Jul 28, 2009

SMITA: It's like you don't even know me anymore. You used to keep up with what music I liked and RECOMMEND things to me.
SMITA: I bet PANDORA knows me better than YOU these days. Or the iTunes GENIUS BUTTON! And AMAZON.COM knows me MUCH better than you!
SMITA: So I'm leaving you, Brett. I'm leaving you for the Internet. BRETT: WHAT?
SMITA: Meet my new boyfriend, THE CLOUD. BRETT: My... my God... THE CLOUD: Just got DUMPED? Try Match.com!

Self-published

Feb 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.

Download nightmares

Oct 31, 2005

BRETT: Come on! It's just one album! GREG: Don't tempt me with illegal mp3s, man! I'll stick to iTunes. A guilt-free life is worth $1 a song.
BRETT: Dude, the record companies don't pay any production or distribution costs with iTunes, and they charge the same as CDs. It's a ripoff.
GREG: Look, I used Napster in college! I won't go back to that life! I would have nightmares about musicians breaking into my apartment and stealing stuff....
GREG: Liz Phair would hold me down while P.J. Harvey ripped my socks off my feet. It was... arousing. But also scary. BRETT: You're a toolbox, Greg.
