Neil ponders whether he should go to his pal's big show.
God, I really don't want to go to the Earl by myself on Thursday... but I have to go or Jez'll hate me.
I mean, it's Jez's first "The 706 Union Presents" show she's putting on there... (sigh).
Dude... are you talking about the show THIS Thursday the 18th with Silent Kids, Nell Bryden and The Yum Yum Tree and that puppet show that's a punk band? Sounds like fun. You should go.
Yeah, I know it's going to be a blast, but my girlfriend dumped me and I don't want to face all those people that will be like "Oh, man, I heard about you and Tammy. Sucks, dude."
God, you are such a whiny bitch.

One sunny afternoon, Beldar sees Mr. Owl
Hello Mr. Owl... what are you doing?
Praying.
Who are you praying for?
World Peace.
You ask a guy a question and he has to be a smartass about it.
Go to hell.

Hi Monica. You'll never guess what I got!!
Lemme guess... some sort of rare import?
THE import. Pulp's "We Love Life" on vinyl, with three extra tracks, different liner notes and signed by Javis Cocker.
What? How in the hell did you get that?
You'll never believe it! I found it at the flea market! Some nice hispanic man said he didn't know what it was and sold it to me for ONLY $82.00! Can you believe?? Uh, total find!
He is never going to get laid.

Indie Record Store Training Video, Example #133: Before you explain the whole bit, ask what they specifically want.
Is there something I can help you with?
I've never been here, I'm just trying to figure out the store.
Well, we've got jazz in the last case on the left, followed by A-L of the regular section. M-Z is the glass case here to the right. Dance/Hip Hop/Acid Jazz is in the glass case in the middle...
Can I use your restroom?
We don't have public restroom, sorry.

Indie Record Store Training Video, Example #446: Some customers ask for help and then don't listen to what you say. Just get use to it.
Having trouble finding something sir?
I was looking for an out of print Skinny Puppy German Import. You don't have it. Can I order it?
You said it yourself, it's out of print. We can't order it.
What if I gave you some extra money. Could you get it?
Sir, "out of print" means that they don't manufacture it anymore. No one can get it.
What if I said "Pretty Please order it for me"?

Indie Record Store Training Video #189: Customers are bound to have their head up their ass. You'll be okay.
Need help looking for something?
Yeah, I heard this song on the radio a couple of days ago and again today. It was really fast and it had male vocals and it was about breaking up. Do you know what song I am talking about.
No, I'm sorry-- you'll have to give me more than that.
Sure you know that song! It's on all the time on X101 f.m.!
I don't listen to commercial radio.
Then how do you find out about new music? MTV?

Indie Record Store Training Video, Example #339: Some people are really, really lonely and really, really nerdy. Don't let them waste too much of your time.
Something I can help you with?
I see that you have a copy of the limited edition 700 Pound Soldier ep. I saw them back in 1992 at the Groundstock Festival when they played with Soft Bound Book and...
(sigh)
I use to have it but then I lost it when I let a friend borrow it from me in 1994 at a Paper Sleeve show. Or was it that secret Coffeechair show at the Boardhouse in Phoenix? Great show...and then...
Do you want to buy it sir?
Um, no, I'll just download it off the net.

Music Director, Note To Self: Write pronunciations on the CD cover for the not-so-bright D.J.s. Case in point: Mojave 3, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion abbreviation and "S/T" means self titled release
Okay, and that last record you heard was by a band called Mo-Jave Three.
Before that we heard a little bit from Jesbex and from Mock-uh.
The name of that Mock-uh c.d. of course is their "S Slash T" release for those of you not "in the know".
