    I 
    hear birds. 
    Calm 

    down. 

    You're supposed to be 
    calm. know, 

    like, 

    you're just gonna work 

    yourself into 
    a frenzy. 

    Would you like 
    a Coke? 

    I hear 
    birds in here. 

    I want a beer, motorhead. 

    Yeah? 
    Here 
    they come. 
    It's 
    about time. 

    Oh, 
    Frank looks 
    tired. 

    He must have just 
    done an interview. 

    Hello, 
    lads. 
    Shall 
    we 
    begin? 

    I 
    should get their 
    names first 

    for the big story 
    I'm going to write. 

    My 
    name is Don Preston, 

    also known 
    as Don DeWilde, 

    or Biff 
    DeBrie, 

    depending upon 
    the spiritual evolvement 

    of 
    the role I'm 
    supposed to 

    play. 

    I'm Jimmy Carl 
    Black. 

    I'm the 
    Indian of the group. 

    What group? 

    Oh, 
    forget it. 

    I'm 
    Uncle James 
    Moran Shewan, 


    and I came in 

    last in the baritone sax 
    category 

    at 
    Dalby Respo 
    for 1970. 

    Gentlemen, I'm 
    sure you're all aware 

    of 
    the fact that we 
    are in 

    an imaginary 
    town 

    Sure. 

    I could tell right 
    away. 

    Right. 
    The 
    vibes. 

    What's 
    your name 
    supposed to 
    be? 

    My 
    real name 
    is 
    Theodore Bickel. 

    But 
    for the purposes of 
    the movie, 

    you 
    must call 
    me Rance 
    Mohammed. 

    Right on, 
    Rance. 

    The 
    functioning of 
    our senses 

    has 
    been spiritually 
    impaired... 


    and chemically corrupted 

    by the 
    fake artificial 
    food coloring. 

    Yeah. 
    We must evolve. 

    Yeah. 

    We must progress. 
    Progress. 

    There must 
    be growth. 

    Microbiotic 
    food and tie -dye 
    shirts. 

    Listen, 
    man, I just want to 

    know two 
    things. 

    Is there any beer 
    in this fake nightclub, 

    and when 
    do we get paid? 

    What 
    sort of beer 
    do you drink, 


    Jimmy Carl Black? 

    This 
    is good human 

    interest material 

    for the big story 
    I'm going to 

    write. 

    Let me rephrase 
    that question. 

    What kind 
    of beer do you 
    drink, 

    Jimmy Carl 
    Black? 

    Any 
    old cunt I can 
    get my 
    mouth on, 

    honey, it 
    don't make a 
    shit to 

    me. 

    Gentlemen, gentlemen, 

    in a moment or 
    two, 

    you'll be able to get 
    your hands 

    on all the 
    imaginary beer 
    that you want. 

    For the 
    moment, I would like to explain 

    some of the things 

    that you'll all be doing 

    in this movie. 

    I've been wondering 
    about that. 


    Now, for sure, we have 

    a vacuum 
    cleaner scheduled. 

    A 
    vacuum cleaner? 

    And a 
    potential epileptic 
    seizure 

    during 
    a production number 
    later on. 

    A 
    vacuum cleaner? 

    I 
    thought the two of 
    you 

    would like to get acquainted. 

    It 
    says here 

    that 
    you are 
    supposed to 
    be in love. 

    This 
    abnormal relationship 

    will be 
    great 

    for the big 
    story I'm 
    going to write. 

    Maybe, 
    maybe, maybe 

    just good friends. 
    Yes. 

    Now, Mr. 
    Preston, 

    you will be playing 
    a highly evolved 

    and spiritual 
    role, 

    so I 
    guess we'll have to call you Beef 

    Debris 

    for 
    the rest of the movie. 

    What 
    am I 
    supposed to do? 

    Says 
    you're my nephew. 

    You are wise 

    because 
    you have 
    traveled the 

    world. 

    You've been 
    to Paris, 

    to London, 
    to 
    Ber
    lin. 

    You, 
    uh, 
    know 
    the 
    ropes. 

    You meditate. 

    You 
    prac
    tice yoga. 

    You play 
    the synthesizer. 

    You operate 
    a fake 
    light show 

    in this imaginary 
    nightclub. 

    You will 
    be Motorhead's 
    guru. 

    Guru? 

    And 
    what is more, 

    Jimmy Carl Black 
    owes you... 

    I 
    thought I 
    was going to get a 
    chance to act, 

    to emote. 

    Wear a 
    big cape and 
    a black hat. 

    Wait a 
    minute. 

    It 
    says here 
    that 
    you get to 

    wear 
    a big 
    cape... 

    and a 
    black hat... 

    and 
    you 
    can turn into 

    a monster 

    anytime you want 
    to. 

    The very presence 
    of a 
    monster person 

    in this 
    imaginary town 

    has a definite 
    bearing on the 
    news value 

    of the TV 
    special they 
    will make 

    from the big 
    story I'm 
    going to write. 

    Listen, 
    man, 

    I just want to 
    know one thing. 

    When do we get 
    paid? 

    Look, 
    look, look, 
    look. 

    Don't 
    you even care 
    what 
    you do? 

    So 
    long as I get 
    some beer and I 
    get 
    paid, 

    you can 
    make me do 
    any

    thing. 
    I'm professional. 

    I'm 
    deeply offended 
    by your lack 

    of artistic sense. 

    Look here, Mohammed's 


    or whatever the fuck 
    they call you, 

    I don't 
    even give a shit, 
    man. 

    I got five 
    fucking kids at home, 

    and 
    can she lend 
    me a 
    couple of bucks 

    until 
    the end of the week? 

    Who are 
    you anyway? 

    Oh, she writes for 
    an 
    imagin
    ary rock 

    -and -roll newspaper in 
    San Fran
    cisco 

    My 
    niece 
    my niece 

    I didn't know she 
    was a blood relation 

    just till 
    the weekend 
    wait a minute 

    Says here. 
    I'm supposed to live 

    So you 
    can oh, 
    thanks 
    Donny 

    But, 
    just 
    a minute, will ya? 

    You got any bread? 

    You got any bread? 

    What's he 
    saying? 

    He wants to know 

    if you can loan him 

    a couple bucks 
    till the weekend. 

    What's he saying? 

    He wants to know 
    if you can loan him 

    a couple 
    bucks till the weekend. 

    I 
    have to go now and 

    write the big story 

    I'm going to 
    write. 

    Wrecking 
    clean
    er! 

    Bye. Bye. 

    I 
    have no idea 

    where you're going to be living 

    in the 
    next six months. 

    She fuck.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
