T: "No...boo! Please boo us. What song is this? No titles...No titles, no lyrics, no ends."
L: "Are you riding on a bummer?"
T: "Whoa, haha! Ahahaha... [untelligible crowd scream].. Haha, man...How'd you know?"
K: "Yeah that last song was a cover of uh, our favorite Pere Ubu song!"
T: "This is for Lyle because it's the worst song in the set, believe it or not. Can I, um, change with you? This song's about waking up on the wrong side of the bed. You want me to start it or you want me to count it? Does it matter? You count it! The drummer always counts."
