[Napoleon Dynamite quote]

I tried to buy Napoleon Dynamite on DVD, but they didn't have it at Fry's. But this is the next best thing:

Napoleon Dynamite soundboard

It's replenished my supply of rapidly-aging Napoleon Dynamite quotes.

The wheels are falling off

Quoth dbrewbaker from Maine:

"Seems to have emerged fully fromed [sic], but a song has to be all about the idea and I'm not sure what that is here."

Just one of a string of terse, lukewarm reviews we've been receiving. I have a theory that Garageband keeps track of who the hard reviewers are and saves them for later rounds.

I'll be sure to, uh, make my... ideas? more transparent in my songs from now on.

Thoughts from the jury box

The people vs. The Asbestos Concern - Rocky and Bullwinkle


Exhibit A

Sampyl, from Washington, DC:
"very unique sound"
Extra Credit: Originality.


LAPinc, from Ottawa:
"There is nothing original in this song"



Exhibit B

ekupes, from Denver, Colorado:
"Around 1:55 the vocal progression is icky"

claraengel, from Toronto:
"i really enjoyed... the laid back summery harmonies"



It's times like this I am reminded of the fickle nature of making music. We may as well flip a coin sometimes to determine what works and what doesn't. I tire of this: I hereby quit the band to pursue a life of simple fulfillment as a yak farmer in the mossy hills of Transylvania. Graham, Eric, Jowen: it's been fun, but alas I must roam free. I am reminded of a quote I read third-hand in a Reader's Digest in the bathroom, and cannot remember exactly: "Oh, how he wished he could ride forever with these men, but he knew their paths were only to meet for so long." Goodbye, sweet princes.

Graham, you are a genius. Seriously.

I've just ordered two t-shirts.
