People heard us

Dec 25, 2009

RONI: OK, so the little spike in web traffic didn't get us any new fans, but 100,000 people listened to our songs. People HEARD us. Isn't that the point of ART?
JOHN: ART? Who said anything about fuckin' ART?!
JOHN: I am in this band to get FAMOUS or get LAID.
RONI: Barf... JOHN: And I don't care what order that comes in, Roni!

Traffic spike effect

Dec 23, 2009

CHRISTINA: Well, our site's traffic has returned to normal, and it looks like about 100,000 people downloaded our demo.
RONI: That's AMAZON! JOHN: What's the point? They CAME and they LEFT. We got ZERO mailing list signups...
JOHN: And we sold ZERO t-shirts. CHRISTINA: Actually we sold TWO t-shirts. DAN: No, I bought those two.
JOHN: Great! We sold NEGATIVE two t-shirts... DAN: Hey, is there a way for you to not, like, cash my Paypal thing until Friday?

Whom to damn

Dec 21, 2009

CHRISTINA: Looks like our host shut our site down due to the traffic spike from people downloading our demo. We owe $300. JOHN: Bah! DAMN these fuckin' MUSIC pirates!
CHRISTINA: No one pirated anything. Our hosting company is just charging bandwidth fees. JOHN: DAMN the HOSTED companies then!
CHRISTINA: No, those are just the terms of our fairly standard contract. JOHN: Then just... DAMN the transitional period the music industry is currently in!
JOHN: I WANT SOMETHING MORE TANGIBLE TO BE ANGRY AT!! CHRISTINA: I know, sweetie. I know...

Site’s down

Dec 18, 2009

CHRISTINA: Hmm... our site's down. Too many people are trying to download our demo mp3s. JOHN: WHAT!? What's the fucking point of that?
JOHN: When our website WORKS, no one LOOKS at it, and as soon as people WANT to look at it, it friggin' shuts OFF? Who's our hosting company? O'HENRY?!
Silence.
JOHN: Yeah, that's right... I JUST MADE AN O'HENRY REFERENCE! RONI: Today is a weird day. CHRISTINA: Yes.

Wearing your own t-shirts

Dec 14, 2009

CHRISTINA: See? I posted mp3s of our demo last week. DAN: Hey, that's a cool picture of us!
CHRISTINA: I put that up months ago... Do you guys EVER check the site? DAN: No, checking your own website is like wearing your own T-SHIRTS.
CHRISTINA: NO! And we SHOULD wear our t-shirts, too... RONI: We have T_SHIRTS?
DAN: Is our band, like, more successful than I thought? CHRISTINA: No. We have a LOT of t-shirts... RONI: Oh GOD... all these BOXES...
