Blissed Out 2: I don’t own one! At this point, I wish I did.
Blissed Out 1: Hahaha.
Johnny Sagan: It would make things easier, to like organize all the files?
Blissed Out 2: In my home life, it would make things…more easy.

Blissed Out 2: But it’s doable…
Blissed Out 1: You can’t listen to Myspace songs.
Blissed Out 2: It’s hard, though…
Johnny Sagan: No, that’s true! Like, someone’s like, “Listen to my shit…” Yeah.
Blissed Out 1: But yeah, we want a laptop for other stuff, but not for making music.
Blissed Out 2: For porn!

Blissed Out 1: It’s like the idea that, like, someone could be on their, like, laptop talking to their friends on AIM, you know…
Blissed Out 2: And they could also be on…oh, on AIM, yeah!
Blissed Out 1: Yeah, and, like Tweeting, or whatever, while they’re making music. It’s like, no: it’s like you have these special objects that you use sort of ritualistically to come back and, like, Do That Thing. Which is music, you know?
