Warmed-Over Krautrock

It's not enough.

You have to buy more.

What should I get?

Have you seen our lovely collection of CDs for a dollar?

This whole section's only a dollar?

- Yeah. - We prefer to think of it

of an installation.

'Cause nothing here ever moves?

It's our statement on the music industry.

Mm.

You can't leave until you find at least one CD

you want to buy for a dollar.

Guys, this is really depressing.

Hey, imagine if you'd signed those bands.

You know, we can actually stay open till midnight

if you need some more time.

You got this.

Hey.

So it's kind of slow today.

Rub it in.

Yeah.

Would it be okay if I set up my laptop back here

after I got off?

I'm trying to avoid my roommates.

How long is this gonna go on for, Duane?

Just till the end of the month.

Okay.

I'm so glad I'm not in my twenties anymore.

Thanks.

- Duane. - Yeah?

What is it you're always working on on that laptop of yours?

Just more playlists.

Like right now I'm working on one

that's a history of New York rock.

Like the one definitive track for each band.

You ever thought about a blog?

Uh...

Seriously, you should post it online.

I don't know, I mean,

everyone has one, so, who would ever read it?

You never know, do you?

It might lead to something,

give you an outlet.

Yeah, I'll think about it.

Thank you for your patronage.

You should come with me to Coachella this year.

Hang in the VIP tent.

I only listen to the LA Philharmonic.

Are they playing Coachella this year?

- The Sahara tent. - No.

No, come on, man.

Don't tell me you like that, you of all people.

- What does that mean? - You're the one that's saying

that you can't stand those bands that have the...

hold on, what was it...

the Williamsburg Testicle-Free Seal of Approval.

Was that me that said that?

Come on, dude, all I'm saying is if we open up for them

at the Palladium, that's huge for us.

They have a following!

Come on, man, they've been dishing out

that Warmed-Over Krautrock for years now.

I can't believe the hipsters are still buying it.

Are you listening to yourself right now?

Warmed-Over Krautrock?

What does that even mean?

Yeah, Duane speaks in rock critic, you need subtitles

in front of him so you understand what he's saying.

- I do not speak in rock critic. - Yeah, you do.

You guys coming to my show on Tuesday by the way?

I've seen you play like seven times.

I have actually seen you play in every place

that you've ever played.

But I need you there, you're objective.

- I need your opinion. - Aw.

Wait, did you get another show?

Yeah, yeah, another out of work actor is putting on a showcase

and he needs set design that he can't afford to pay for.

Right on, well, I hope somebody comes

and shows up and digs your work.

Well, I'll be there.

You guys going on first again?

No, man, third, 11 o'clock start time.

Nice, look at you guys!

- Moving up in the world. - Mm!

- Ow, ow! - Oh-ho!

Again with the tie!

Look, I've got to leave again early.

Can you guys lock up for me?

Yeah, we're good.

Where you going all respectable-like?

Sex addict support group.

It's a terrible affliction.

Hey, are you off the clock?

Uh, yeah, no, I'm just hanging out.

You know, six hours of used record time's

- just not enough for this guy. - Yeah, I caught him sleeping

in the easy listening section last week.

Oh yeah right, the easy listening.

- Loving the t-shirt. - Thank you.

Yeah, a friend of mine made it for me.

We should sell them in the store.

I'm gonna say one person in the next three hours.

Ooh, oh, let's not get crazy now.

No, no, no, no, he's right.

Today is the day it all turns around.

There is a huge pent up demand out there.

I can, I can just feel it.

Hm.

I do think though if somebody comes in and buys something,

- we should give them a beer. - Probably.

Speaking of which, is it my turn to buy?

- Yeah. - Yes.

All right.

See if you can find that beer that tastes like banana bread.

No, no, no, no, no, the cut off line is Some Girls.

After that, the iron gate comes crashing down.

That's it, period.

Come on, you gotta give 'em Tattoo You.

- Start Me Up? - Come on,

most of that album was Mick dubbing in vocals over tracks

they've had in the can for years.

Hey, Mick Taylor is all over it.

Mick Taylor's my secret boyfriend.

- Good one. - Right?

How do you know who Mick Taylor is?

Dude, my dad has all those records.

Condescend much?

- I wasn't being condescending. - Uh...

Was I being condescending?

How long have we worked together?

I'm sorry, it's just most girls your age don't...

Dude, d... d... d...

since when has Lysette done anything

- like most girls our age? - Thank you.

Yes.

Oh God, it's so sweet that you're so upset about it.

- It's easy, Elvis. - Oh, lame.

- Why? - It's obvious!

It's not... who could fault me?

Wait, okay, why, why do guys always have to say Elvis

when they're asked who they would sleep with

if they had to sleep with a guy?

- Why wouldn't ya? - Why, because it's

the easy choice for straight guys, that's why.

Oh, the easy choice, fine.

All right, Mr. I Live on the Edge then.

Come on, hit me, what's your choice?

I'm gonna go with George Harrison.

Agh, can't you guys get it up

for somebody in the last 40 years?

- Somebody that's actually alive. - Hold on, hold on, yeah.

Just explain your choice first.

First of all, he just looks so cool

in every picture with The Beatles.

Doesn't matter what year.

Second, he was such an admirable person in real life.

- Hm. - Hm, aren't you gonna

ask him how he knows who George Harrison is?

God, I'm never gonna live that down, am I?

- No. - And you know what the thing is,

I don't even wanna sleep with the guy.

I wanna have like a mystical,

spiritual union with him.

What?

A mystical, spiritual union?

What does that mean?

Haven't you guys ever wanted to live

beyond the grasp of material things?

No!

That's what he was all about.

Hm.

Who are you?

I mean, where are these hidden depths coming from?

Stereotype much?

Look beyond the tattoos, dude.

That should be an album title

or like a lyric or something, it'd be great.

Are we not drinking ourselves into oblivion?

You can if you want, unless you want a ride.

Twice now I've offered to bring in my own speakers.

- And? - He keeps putting me off.

He says he's gonna fix the PA system himself.

He must not wanna spend the money right now.

How much does it cost to set up an iPod dock?

Have you ever heard of a record store that can't play music?

What kind of a message does that send?

It's not good.

We're not doing any in-stores.

Or record release parties.

Where do you guys think he's going when he puts on that tie?

I mean, do you think he's skipping out

on us for interviews?

Maybe he's going to a speed dating service for,

like, middle-aged indie dudes.

I wish he could meet someone.

Seriously, I mean, do you know where he's going?

Oh, I have no clue.

So when am I gonna get the chance to show my hidden depths?

I mean, tell me that, my friend.
