Starting Dialogue
Your sim: What's that you're listening to?

Friend: It's the new track from Grandma's Basement. They're pretty underground. Ever heard of them?

Your sim: I've been listening to Grandma's Basement since before people knew they existed!

Ending Dialogue
You: The only thing that could make this band sound any better is listening to them on vinyl.

Friend: Oh! I have them on vinyl. I have a whole vinyl collection. It’s the only way truly to hear a song.

You: Yes! I thought I was the only Sim who believed in the power is vinyl.

Starting Dialogue
Friend: Theres something more personal about owning a recording on physical media, like a record or a tape.

You: Yeah, it makes me feel more of a connection to the music. It’s passion you can hold!

Friend: Wow. That’s deep.

Ending Dialogue
Friend: I have a theory that the easier a song is to sing along to, the more popular it is. Most people just want to bop along.

You: Good theory! If I wrote a song, the chorus would be “Mmm oh, yeah yeah yeah. Hey hey hey!” or something. Everyone would love it!

Friend: That’s a chart topper right there.

Starting Dialogue
Your sim: What would you do if there was no music?

Friend: Wow, that sounds depressing. I guess I'd bang my head against the wall until I get a nice rhythm going?

Ending Dialogue
You: I love this new single from the Servo Band! Wow, they got really moody and dark.

Friend: The perfect soundtrack for today. I dropped my last piece of pizza earlier. Landed cheese-side down, of course.

You: Ugh, life is too much sometimes. Good thing we have music to get us through the angst.

Starting Dialogue
Friend: If you had to choose between the Servo Band and Grandma’s Basement, who would you pick?

You: Wow, that isn’t fair. That’s like choosing between Electroclash and Electronicore! How can I pick??

Friend: It’s our responsibility as fans to make these tough decisions.

Ending Dialogue
You: Do you ever think maybe we should try making music since we’re always critiquing it?

Friend: Nah, criticising is way more fun.

You: True!

Starting Dialogue
You: I’ve been thinking about branching out and going to a classical music concert. Wanna join me?

Friend: Hmm. I don’t know. Classical music? That’s kind of like a silent film - There are no words!

You: But that means we won’t have any issues with the lyrics!

Ending Dialogue
You: Did you just sing “zucchini sunrise?” Pretty sure the lyrics are “you need me, don’t cry.”

Friend: Really? I like my lyrics better. Way less depressing.

Starting Dialogue
You: OMG, I sent a message to The Servo Band on Simstagram and they replie!

Friend: Wow, it’s a smiley face! You’ve been touched by greatness.

You: I’m never cleaning my phone screen again.

Ending Dialogue
You: Real talk: who was the better drummer in The Servo Band? First drummer or fourth drummer?

Friend: Fourth drummer, no question. The sixteenth one was good, too, though.

Starting Dialogue
Friend: Hey, do you want to go to a metal concert with me. FaceSquish is playing.

You: FaceSquish? Oh, I didn’t realise you were into metal. I’ve never really gotten into it.

Friend: What?! Just give it a chance. You may change your mind....

Ending Dialogue
You: That music just punched me in the face... but in a good way!

Friend: See? Songs should elicit emotions, or at least make you want to head-bang and wear heavy eyeliner.

Starting Dialogue
Friend: You wont believe this! I got an amazing seat for the Grandma’s Basement concert: front row center!

You: Um, wait, you’re going to the show without me?

Friend: Oops, I thought you knew.

Ending Dialogue
Friend: Hey! I decided to trade in my front row seat to the Grandma’s Basement concert for two seats so you can come with me.

You: Wow, really?! You traded in a front row Center ticket to sit with me?

Friend: It wouldn’t be as much fun without you. Who else is going to nitpick the audio quality with me?

Starting Dialogue
You: Do you ever think we should talk about something other than music?

Friend: Hmm, I guess we could try that. I saw this bird on the way to the Grandma’s Basement concert. It was blue?

You: You know, second thought, why mess with a good thing? Let’s talk about that concert!

Ending Dialogue
You: I have to say - your friendship has been instrumental in my growth as a music aficionado.

Friend: Same to you! Our friendship is one-of-a-kind. But not a one-hit wonder!

You: Here’s to a platinum-quality friendship!
