Meeting halfway

Jan 2, 2009

BRETT: Look, it's a new year, let's resolve to meet each other halfway on this. GREG: OK. How about...
GREG: YOU... make a fundamental moral shift and stop hating musicians that license their songs to TV shows and commercials.
GREG: And I... will try to stop referring to Iggy Pop as "that Carribean Cruise Line guy."
BRETT: Quite a sacrifice. GREG: I know. "Iggy" is, like, a TOTALLY weird name.

Artists should have ideals

Dec 31, 2008

GREG: So bands shouldn't sell songs to TV shows, movies and commercials? BRETT: No, it taints them.
GREG: But you're also against them charging for mp3s and, like, copyright in general? BRETT: Yes. Music should be free.
GREG: How do expect these guys to LIVE? Art takes TIME. It takes MONEY. BRETT: I just want artists to have IDEALS.
GREG: You also seem to want them to have TRUST FUNDS.

Corruption-free music

Dec 29, 2008

GREG: So you won't listen to any band who let their music be used in commercials, movies or TV shows? BRETT: Yes.
BRETT: I need my music to be free of corruption, so I find music that has never and will never be used for any corporate shilling.
GREG: So where d'you find that? BRETT: Mainly shitty open mic nights.
BRETT: Only the truly shitty is truly pure.
