- Buy records by Sonic Youth or Swans, um, they're at the door. They're really cheap, they're like $3.50, $5 [mumbles]

- Let's hear another one by Sonic Youth!

- No, everything's fucked up

- This is actually the best crowd we've had since... uh... We played at Cat's Cradle last night and there were uh, I think... Three people there... It was good!

- We're appreciative, play some more!

- We could have a Sonic Youth and Swans jamfest
