I hate that journalists pigeonholed us into the incredibly broad 'post-rock' genre, so let's allow said journalists to dictate the stylistic course of our band!
We are now an unlistenable noise/sludge/doom/drone band with no discernible melodies!
We're really into it!

It's our fourth album ffs, you'd think we would at least have this part of the process down.

oh by the way guys, Janice knows this amazing indy filmaker from Kingston who is looking for a score for his first film. He's going to be in town next week and you should all meet him

Look Todd, I'm not saying that "And The Spirits of Yearning and Regret Will Guide Your Way for Eternity" is a bad title per se, it's just that when I say we should have shorter song titles, I don't think "the label said we can use as many words as we want, so let's get our money's worth" is really a good counter-argument.

Well no, I haven't learned how "play the keyboard" exactly, but I think a synthesizer would be a great way to add some really interesting texture to some songs. Look what happens when I twist this knob! wait poo poo I think it's this one. wait poo poo

Look guys, I don't want to be the rear end in a top hat here but Robby hasn't been on the ball lately with his rhythm work. Now I know you think it will change our sound if we let him go but I found out that if I loop a note of feedback through a delay, reverb, fuzz, reverb, phaser, delay, reverb pedal chain it sounds almost exactly the same.

Okay, let's make another CD with lots of passionate high energy songs we've always been known for.

*Throat gives out easily, get winded after one song*

gently caress, we got old... let's just make a more mellow, moody sounding CD.

Oh sure, that's a beautiful melody, it really is, Perry. But is it achingly beautiful? Hmm? Does it actually hurt to listen to because it's so good? Because that's what our fans expect, it's what they demand, and it's what we're loving going to give to them, or this band's name isn't This Life Is Terrifying But Ultimately Worth Living Because Music Is The Air That We Breathe

Let's ensure our fans can only buy the new album in physical stores. I'm sure they won't mind and will respect our decision.

Okay you guys, listen, this can't be revealed publicly, but the A&R guy told me that if we release another single in the same spirit as "My Soul Is A Broken Tractor", then Hyundai is showing a real interest in using it as the background track in their next series of Sonata commercials. It has to be a little more uptempo of course, but whatcha think? That's a good five or six figures in the bank

I know you said we wouldn't get any more pedals, but I know a guy that swears he can score us a first run Klon for only $2,000, which is a loving steal and would really make the lead on "corporate lawyer blows a senator to feed his heroin addiction" come alive.

gently caress the record label if they won't give us the $6000 we need for the Continuum Fingerboard. I need the Continuum Fingerboard to explore and navigate the sonic textures that define our ensemble. What about kickstarter?
