Coaxing Gordon to play

Mar 22, 2006

AGENT: Gordon, come out of there, buddy. The show starts in a half hour. GORDON CRANWICK: NO way, man. Not unless we play some of my songs.
AGENT: No, look, Kevin's got some of yours in here... GORDON CRANWICK: KEVIN put ONE of my songs, BURIED in the middle of the set, and KEVIN can go FUCK himself.
AGENT: Gordon, (sigh)... I dunno, look, what if I arrange for the camera guy to... CONCENTRATE on you a little more than usual?
GORDON CRANWICK: How "concentrated" are we talking? AGENT: 65% of head shots, Gordon, 100% of two shots, now put some pants on....

Figuring out the setlist

Mar 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.

Slaves to the audience

Jan 4, 2005

JOHN: OK, post-practice band meeting, people!
JOHN: I'm a little upset about the setlist changes last night. Do we take requests? Yes. But we are not slaves to the audience. The Ambulance Men are artists.
RONI: It was a karaoke night, John. They pick the songs; we play them. That's how it works.
JOHN: SLAVE!! DAN: I thought our "Sweet Caroline" had a real edge to it, by the way. CHRISTINA: (silent)
