| **tape recorder stops** band members: "heeeeeey, that was pretty good" "yeah!" **band happy and content babble** engineer in booth: "um guys, that song was only 0:37 seconds long." band members: "wha...?" "that had to be at least 2 minutes long!" engineer: "you gotta make it longer! you'll never be able to fill out an album at this rate!" band members: "oh come on!" "it's not about the fans, it's about our music!" "that's their fuckin' problem!" "we could make 45 tracks an album, couldn't we?" "I need beer." engineer: "come on, guys, repeat a verse or something. add a keyboard solo or use a 2nd chord or somethin'. just do SOMETHING." band members: "oh I don't know." "hand me that fortune cookie. we'll use that." "let's cut this shit." engineer: **sigh** band members: "1 2 3 4!" **band starts playing** **repeats fortune vocally 18 times in 0:28 seconds** **stops** band members: "yeah!" "alright!" "whoo!" engineer: "just terrible, guys." band members: "I still think people would rather hear 25 short songs than 7 crappy long ones." "let's trash the studio." END |
