)Curt: Radio still exists?Topher: Radio? h you mean iPod! The truth is I haven?t listened to radio except for NPR and KRCL in I don?t know how long.

Curt: I think bands really just need to cheer up I think that?s the problem with mainstream music… ? Curt: I think bands really just need to cheer up I think that?s the problem with mainstream music. Everyone just need to cheer up quit wining about their girlfriends-Wallace: No more girl music for boys. Curt: Yeah give them back your girlfriend?s pants and just you know? rock!
