so everyone's cool with the squid thing
like everyone just collectively agreed that was okay
and went with it
that's a thing people just live with in this crappy city

[venatoris]

so you're over 30

[dialscientist]

[That's a terrifying thought]

I was born in 66

[venatoris]

so WAY WAY WAY over 30

[dialscientist]

Like I said. I am a product of my generation.

[venatoris]

so when im from in 2010, you're super ancient

[dialscientist]

Sucks to be me in 2010 I guess. Or maybe not. Maybe I'm rich and famous.

[venatoris]

maybe you're a rockstar or something, you never know

[dialscientist]

I mean that would make sense seeing how I'm a professional musician.

[venatoris]

maybe this is your future. lead guitarist in a zeppelin cover band, playing dive bar stages across the states

[dialscientist]

Never gonna happen. Zepplin is good but I'm more of a YMO kind of guy? And I don't play guitar.

[venatoris]

sorry i dont speak greek

[dialscientist]

You seriously don't know Yellow Magic Orchestra?

[venatoris]

sorry i dont listen to toddlers smacking tiny plastic pianos

[dialscientist]

[How could you]

So you do know, you're just choosing to be a jerk for no reason.

[venatoris]

i'm kidding, i'm kidding. music one of those things where there's something for everyone and anyone, kinda like hookers on main. you know? just cause it aint my cuppa doesn't mean it isn't yours

[dialscientist]

I don't know any hookers.

But sure.

Also Zepplin is very good.

[venatoris]

yeah, i don't either. not yet

anyway, your YMO people are cool. not me preferred zen listening, but i can appreciate talent when i hear it even if it isn't my favorite

[dialscientist]

In all fairness, they are severely underrated and only had one big song. But they're the only people I know who do what I do and look like me.

It's hard to explain. But thank you.

[venatoris]

I was gonna say I get it but I don’t, but I understand what you’re saying. If that makes sense

what do you play?

[dialscientist]

It makes sense. And I appreciate that you’ve gone through the effort. Most people don’t.

I play keys

[venatoris]

[ he's a good guy if given a chance. sometimes he can be a douchebag and say shitty things but he's also got a whole 'this is a young impressionable person' vibe, and dean himself has dad vibes so

maybe don't be a dick to the kids. ]

keys, huh? guitars my thing, but im rusty as hell. wish i could read music. guitar tabs are a whole different world, you know?

[dialscientist]

[He is your elder!!!! But Dean is perceptive and also correct.]

Man, tell me about it. I've tried, I really have, but I just don't get it. Tabs I mean. I can read music.

You know, if you ever wanted to get back to guitar I'm sure Ryan would be more than happy to teach you.

[venatoris]

[ he try ]

Yeah, the tabs are nuts. But For some reason I get that? It's actual sheet music I just can't get.

Who's Ryan?

[dialscientist]

[Who's Ryan. Well, that is a very good and suddenly extremely complicated question. If he doesn't answer truthfully will it hurt Ryan's feelings? If he does answer truthfully will it be seen as unprofessional?

Might be.

Path of least resistance. Let's stay professional. This is about the music, not his fluxing relationship.]

My bandmate. Vocals and guitar. I bet he'd love a student.

[venatoris]

Well, I wouldn't say no. I'm pretty rusty, and could probably use a couple refresher lessons.
