Merle Domer What are the chances I could get the Des Moines Symphony to play one of your pieces if I were to do my internship there?

Chances are high if the Des Moines Symphony catches a glimpse of our bank records..."outstanding" is not a strong enough word to describe the hammockfulls of cash we are making off radioplay. And remember, DJs call it "THE shit" not just "shit."

And since you are not only the richest band in Des Moines, but also the most original, awesome-sounding, and creative, they will pounce upon the opportunity to gain publicity performing music made by two local 20-yr.-olds named THE shit.

The answer to that question, by the way, is "no." They will, however, play a 6-minute-long duo of songs.

Nicholas Good Justin! We still must do a collabo. I believe that's what it's called in the industry, a "collabo".

Forgive me for correcting you, but I do believe that what it is actually called (in technical industry jargon) is an "audible pus nodule." Now I'm not an industry expert so I don't understand entirely what that means, but, you know...just saying.
