“you ever hear this,” he asked.
“yeah, i love it!”
“it’s great,” he said. “i saw these guys on a rerun of snl and had to get it.”
“i spent a lot of time listening to it this winter,” i said.
“oh, so you have it?”
“sorta.”
“huh?”
“i’m an evil music pirate, i just downloaded all the songs and burned them to cd.”

“yeah, i am evil like that. when the new elvis costello came out i bought it and promptly burned a copy for both lisa and sandy.”
“is that the one with the ‘tear off your own head’ song?”
“yeah.”
“that song is great.”
“i’ll burn it for you this weekend.”
