Session Start: Tue Jul 29 16:27:00 2003
micah
i had an idea
annie
yes?
micah
for our site bio, instead of having someone write one, let's just interview each other over IM and post it
annie
ok, when do we do that?
annie
oh wait, did it already start?
micah
do you want to make up questions beforehand or just wing it?
annie
i think we should do it now
micah
i guess we could
annie
because if you think about it too hard nothings going to be cool
micah
right, it'll ruin it... we can take out the boring parts
annie
yeah, ill edit it
annie
ok so, bio's...does anyone care?
annie
theres ants crawling around and when i put my hand on the mouse they crawl in between my fingers and bite me
micah
this isn't an interview
annie
ok, here it is
micah
we have to ask each other questions
annie
oh, micah, can i borrow some money?
micah
no, next question
annie
you start, i suck at this
micah
okay, so annie, where are you from?
annie
i don't want anyone to know that
micah
that question sucks
annie
yeah, i'm from america and so are you
micah
good, now that we got that out of the way
annie
and we both play some instruments, you play all of them and i play some of them... and in our band you play two at once and i just play one and then i sing which is almost two at once
micah
this is sounding really dry
annie
shut up
annie
i'm totally interested
micah
okay, keep going
annie
ok, well, thats it
annie
what else do they want to know
annie
have you ever been in a band that anyone cared about?
micah
just this one, and i think you're the only one who cares
annie
you were in some band called radio 4 right
micah
yes there was radio 4
annie
but not the one that people know about
micah
we played around LA and OC for a few years
annie
right
micah
but things fell apart and another band snatched up the name
annie
i played a couple shows in orange county but everyone who was there has probably overdosed on heroin by now
micah
that's orange county for you
micah
with what band?
annie
i played keyboards in some punk band called shrinkwrap or some shit
annie
and then i played solo but i didn't have a lot of songs
micah
is "or some shit" part of the band name or the sentence?
annie
sentence
micah
right, then you met me?
annie
right, then we met because you used to sleep with my mom when you worked together
annie
i'm trying to spice things up
micah
actually you got that backwards, i use to work with her when we slept together
micah
whatever same difference
annie
yeah
annie
and then i made you record lots of songs with m
annie
e
annie
me
annie
fuck
micah
it's okay we can fix it later
micah
we'll just punch in and you can retype it
annie
ok
annie
it all started with that sweet ass cover of "who's crying now" by journey
micah
i remember it well, that was almost a year ago today
annie
then we did what no one should ever do and recorded "god only knows" by the beach boys
micah
which almost killed me
annie
and it was good
annie
why'd that almost kill you
micah
we did it in like 2 days, something like 26 tracks
annie
yeah, and we got really drunk
micah
of course
micah
you have to be drunk to think you can cover a song off pet sounds
annie
totally
annie
then months and months later, after i was tired of trying to be in bands with girls and other people who sucked
micah
nine months later giant drag was born
micah
good thing you didn't get that band abortion
annie
no kidding
annie
you know how i love abortions
micah
i'm always dragging you away from the clinic
annie
and i'm like "just one more!"
annie
anyway, then we rounded up 7 songs and played our first show at the scene in glendale
annie
everything sounded shitty there
micah
you just booked it and told me about it after the fact, "either you're playing with me or i'm going to play it myself" and i wasn't about to let you go out like that
annie
because i knew we wouldn't practice hard enough if i didn't book a show
micah
sneaky shit
annie
i had to get this shit going
annie
and i did
micah
there's also the story of the bassist that never was
micah
we originally planned to get more people to play with us
annie
oh yeah, but its a lot easier to only have two people in the band
micah
and more money for us
annie
totally
micah
so then we played the troubadour which fuckin' rocked
annie
yeah, because they kind of know how to do sound there
micah
recorded some more songs
annie
in one night... and one take for me i might add
micah
you did 3 tracks all one takers if i remember correctly
micah
and then we set up this website... is that bio enough?
annie
i guess
micah
do you have anything else you'd like to confess?
annie
yes, * ** ******** gay *** *** ** **** **** * 12 year old
micah
yeah, did you **** **** ***?
micah
*** ****** ***** **, ****** *** ******* *** younger!
annie
** ** ******
micah
we're going to have to seriously edit this
annie
that part better not go on the website
micah
of course not
micah
should we wrap up?
annie
yes
annie
and in conclusion bio's suck
micah
thank you everyone, and if you got this far you have problems
annie
yeah mom!
micah
we talked about your mom way too much
micah
i think you have issues
annie
i know, there's this picture of her next to the computer
annie
i think i'm going to be sick
