Battle of The Bands takes over Bryan’s Blog by Bryan

So me and my 133t h4x0r roommate Yuan decided to take over Bryan’s blog for the day…

Shaye: Are you sure this is legal?

Yuan: Don’t worry about it.

Shaye: Really? Wouldn’t Bryan be mad at us?

Yuan: Shouldn’t we be telling these people about Battle of the Bands?

Shaye: yeah! BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!!! It’s gonna be awesome! W00000T!!!
It’s gonna completely ROCK THE HOUSE!!!!

Yuan: … that was not why I spent three hours hacking this account.

Shaye: If by “hacking” you mean sneaking up behind Bryan when he’s typing in his password.

Yuan: Shouldn’t we be telling these people about Battle of the Bands?

Shaye: Alright, alright. Battle of the Bands is an event held every CPW where ten local bands come to MIT to compete in front of YOU for prizes and bragging rights.

Yuan: Yup. Me and Shaye and our friend Dave has been working to put this together since October. Dave does publicity, I handle the boring financial stuff, and Shaye here’s in charge of the music.

Shaye: Rock! m/

Yuan: Shaye is a wannabe rockstar.

Shaye: No I’m not!

Yuan: Remember that girl we met at Harper’s Ferry?

Shaye: Oh yeah, we’d gone there to audition one of the bands, Sweetfist.

Yuan: She totally dug your rockstar hair.

Shaye: heheheh.

Yuan: Hey Shaye, so do we have any inside info for Bryan’s readers? That’ll be really neat.

Shaye: Actually, I just finished compiling the band lineup for this year.

Yuan: Sweet! I hope Polski FIAT is on there. They were last year’s winners and they’re pretty awesome.

Shaye: Yeah, I guess if you’re into that whole “nerd” rock stuff.

Yuan: Dude, I have their album. You should listen to it sometime.

Shaye: Personally, I’m really psyched about this reggae-fusion band called Spiritual Rez. Their guitars are amazing!

Yuan: We also have that MIT band High Voltage Research Lab, right? The one that’s mostly made of MIT freshmen?

Shaye: Yeah. I really like their stuff, too. It’s amazing the musical talent that exists at MIT. A cappella, symphony orchestra, concert choir, WMBR student radio…the list goes on.

Yuan: So are we gonna post the band lineup or not?

Shaye: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce the official bands for BOTB 2006!

These are in no particular order.
1. Medicated Kisses (non-MIT)
2. High Voltage Research Lab (MIT)
3. Spiritual Rez (non-MIT)
4. One-Eyed Stanley (non-MIT)
5. Panic Kills Octo (MIT)
6. Upper Hand (MIT)
7. Polski FIAT (MIT)
8. Sweetfist (non-MIT)
9. Color and Talea (non-MIT)

Shaye: And guess what?

Yuan: What?

Shaye: We have a special performance this year featuring none other than Dean Marilee Jones!

Yuan: No way! Dean Jones of the Admissions Office?

Shaye: She’ll be singing with the band Tremulant, which includes Ben Jones, another member of the Office of Admissions.

Yuan: Wow, now I can’t wait for it to be April! It’s gonna be one rocking show!

Shaye: yeah! BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!!! It’s gonna be awesome! W00000T!!!

Yuan: This time, I’ll have to agree with you.
