I don't even know if there is still a fan fiction contest going on or not but I wrote this for fun either way.
Eddie: Hey man, what’s up?
JT: Hey, not much. You?
Eddie: Not much, just got back from the record store.
JT: Oh yeah, what did you pick up?
Eddie: Got the new Elated Mutation album.
JT: I haven’t heard them. Any good?
Eddie: Yeah, they’re like Daft Punk meets The National. It’s pretty interesting stuff.
JT: Sounds like it. Did you by any chance hear the Best Show last night?
Eddie: No, I was at the cardboard tube tournament in the park last night. What did I miss?
JT: Oh man, it was a good one. Tom played a track off of the new Caffeine Degradation EP.
Eddie: Man, I heard that was good. What did it sound like?
JT: It was really good, sounded kind of like Meat Puppets meets Leonard Cohen with a Neutral Milk Hotel twist to it.
Eddie: Sweet. That reminds me. Last week I got that rare Bungalow Down 7” that I was telling you about. They only pressed 150 of them. I got it on E-bay for 35 bucks.
JT: And?
Eddie: It reminds me of like a Fantomus type thing meets Alan Parsons but with a Nurse With Wound theme running throughout it.
JT: Sounds great.
Eddie: So what else did Tom play?
JT: Oh yeah, he also played some garage band called Miracle Stripper. They were great, imagine an early GBV meets what a Barrett era Floyd would sound like if they started writing Piper At The Gates Of Dawn under the influence of the ’94 Manhattan post-hardcore scene, then drop a little bit of Moist Boyz into the mix.
Eddie: That sounds great. Did you hear the one a few weeks ago when he played that Dehumidifier track for Smash or Trash?
JT: No, my roommate’s parents put more money in his trust so we got an 8-ball and played Moustache TV for like 12 hours. How was it? Did it get trashed?
Eddie: Yeah but only by one vote. I thought it was great. It was like if Coco Rosie did vocals and Morphine did the music on songs that were written by a Faith No More era Mike Patton but with Kool Keith spinning behind it and a Shake It Up era Ric Ocasek producing, now imagine that but doom metal.
JT: Sounds legendary.
Eddie: It totally was. It made me go on a week long Flowers In Detention kick.
JT: How many albums do they have out, I only have their first 7”.
Eddie: Is that the Wholly Seoul Smelly Roll EP?
JT: Yeah.
Eddie: They only did two after that. Burnt Toast and Way Back Future Kids. Future kids is like an homage to the Jackson 5 but if they were playing the stuff that John Lennon would be releasing today were he alive but if everyone in the band was playing percussion and the whole thing was recorded in a grain silo and produced by Jay-Z. Toast however is kind of a Causey Way meets Har Mar meets Goon Moon meets Critters Buggin’ meets Mad Season meets Ugly Casanova meets At the Drive-In meets Living Colour meets The Black Heart Processional meets Lard meets R.L. Burnside but A’cappella and in Portuguese.
JT: Wow…
Eddie: Yeah.
JT: You know what I just realized?
Eddie: What?
JT: If either one of us makes one more ridiculously pretentious reference I think my head will explode.
Eddie: Me too man, I didn’t know how much longer I could keep that up.
JT: We make me sick.
Eddie: Me too. I’m going to go home, take a shower and put on some looser, more comfortable jeans.
JT: I’m going to go home, shave these side burns and watch Rock of Love non-ironically.
Eddie: Do you want this? (offers JT the Elated Mutations cd)
JT: God no.
Eddie: Me either (he tosses the disk in a nearby trashcan).
JT and Eddie: Later (they wave and part ways).

You made me laugh at LEAST 5 times.

Dave you obviously didn't "get" this piece. The whole thing is a very serious metaphor for the genocide in Darfur.

I kinda liked Very Serious Metaphor, even though Genocide in Darfur's last couple of records before that were way better. Maybe they should see if Albini is free.

I think that might be the funniest post on this thread.
