"I really want to get The Shins' CD"

"Oh, I almost picked that up when I was at Target the other day, since it was only like, $10, and plus, I really tend to like bands with a 'the' at the beginning of their names."

"..."

"You know, The Beatles, The Donnas, The Fratellis, The Clash..."

"Wow, babe. Rolling Stone is really missing out on this musical theory. They should totally hire you."
