    QUOTES

    T: "Alright! Sorry. The bass amp will probably blow out before the first song is over. And my cord will probably pull my amp over. Do you wanna start? This first song is for Katie and Susie, they're from Lawrenceville. I know a lot of you are from Lawrenceville. You ready, Fucko? This song is called 'Sister'!" [Thurston starts the song on guitar and looks confused, then stops] "Oh Steve, you wanna start it?"
    - Schizophrenia
    T: "Fuck it, hold up! Hold up! Hold up! We can't continue-- it's just fucked up, it's just too fucked up. Can we just send it directly thru the main, thru the sides? Let's just do that.. otherwise, uhhh throw it. This always happens when we come to Atlanta! [laughs] Is your amp broken too? Alright, Lee's amp is broken now! Oh yeah! Now my amp is-- I lost my voice! This is.. yo, turn.. Alright, let's see.. is the sound, is it coming thru here? Yeah, it's cool. Alright. Sorta like lipsynching... kinda fake.
