You can always count on some goodies during our meeting

"Now let's move on to a label that has their shit together..."

[later in the meeting, describing a new release:]

"Sounded more kraut-y than chillwave. Sort of glo-fi too"

GUESS THAT BAND!

if anyone (who doesn't work at revolver) can guess this band I'll give the lucky winner a CD by them. place yr guesses in the comments section:

"Sounds like somebody's waterboarding Brian Johnson"

"remember when we had that discussion about making pants that look regular on the outside but are sweatpants on the inside?"

don't know if it's obvious but they're talking about the same band

"this sounds like fun lovin criminals, but not as catchy or, um, good."
"i think it sounds like when vanilla ice tried to go hard"
"what are these guys so pissed about? are their term papers due?"

[on the phone] “oh no, i forgot to clock in, can i put you on hold for a minute? if we’re gonna have this conversation it better be on CW Pratt’s time”

"what is that noise? is that the fire alarm?"
"i think someone in the warehouse is playing whitehouse"
"i don't know, i saw the lights flicker a bit, I'm going downstairs to check the circuit breaker."
"pretty sure it's whitehouse."
-----a minute later-------
"everything alright?"
"yeah, they're just playing some sort of urban field recording downstairs"
"hm. might be whitehouse"

"remember when i wanted to organize the warehouse by ethnicity?"
"oh yeah and we couldn't figure out where the blackface bands would go"
"...maybe next to black metal? they wear corpse paint right?"

"wow, that actually felt good - when you raised the needle. it was like when the dentist stops drilling at a cavity"

I'D LIKE THIS BETTER IF...

*note* there's sort of a running joke in the office where we make friendly suggestions on what bands could do to improve their sound. i'll start posting these as a series.

[in reference to Plasto Beton: http://www.myspace.com/plastobeton]

"i'd like this better if the singer was fat, had eczema AND asthma, and uses his inhaler in between every line he sings"

"i really liked the other day when you had your shades on for that whole phone order. it was like 'Joe Cool here, how many Forgetters can I get ya?'"

"There's a new record from Ovo on Load"
"Wait, on Load or Lo?"
"Load"
"Wasn't there one on Lo?"
"Oh no. You're thinking of Omo. Omo is on Lo and Ovo is on Load."
"Oh"

"sorry, but we're out of all of the records you ordered. you can try back with us in a week or so, or you can try taking music recommendations from somewhere other than a blog"
