Do you want to do something related to

·         Black Holes

·         Paint it Black

·         Anything Black, as long as you mention the word black?

Anything Black, as long as you mention the word black? 

that’s kinda awesome.

then when nobody calls we can play songs with the word black?



who’s a pretty princess?

that’s kinda awesome too.

but i dont think either are really gonna get calls…

My fave: Bore Us Till We Hang Up on You - people tryingto be boring could be kind of interesting

The two you chose are good oto, but I was’t really serious about either (who’s a pretty princess?), although I can imagine us doing a show with few calls where we just “Oh, oh, you know who else is a pretty princess? Al Gore!” for an hour. I like it. It’s got a certain surreal appeal. 

 

I also like Anything Black, but I feel lazy about pulling records. what songs you thinking about, besides the Stones classic? (btw, one of my faves)

One of my faves too. And yeah, I thought about the whole lazy thing too. Hmmmm….

Everytime I think about saying “Call us at 201 209 9368 and tell us who you think is a pretty princess!” I laugh out loud.

That’s a good sign, right?

Wanna just go with that? It may be too one-joke, but it kind of allows us to do anything we want. Maybe we should be drunk-ish for this one.

I’m kinda down. If it’s a disaster we can just google “pretty princess” while we drink. 

I’m gonna ask Ken.
