John O’Regan, the main man behind Diamond Rings, has regrouped with his old band members from The D’Urbervilles. They will start playing again under a new guise, namely Matters. The first single, entitled ‘Get In Or Get Out’ will be released through O’Regan’s own label Hype Lighter. The band is aiming for an album release this fall.
Upon reading the title of the first single I had to immediately think of a passage using a phrase vaguely similar to it’s name. The phrase was Get it or, or get out, and I chanced upon it in a work of philosopher Lord Andrey Dozonev entitled Circular Motions and the Conclusions that can be Drawn From Them. The following is the excerpt that entails this particular phrase.
A wife told her husband to get it or get out. The husband, who was a professor by trade, came into his class frustrated and tired (couches, by default, aren’t as comfortable as beds), and when a student failed to answer a question on quantum theory he said, Get it, or get out. The student came home, put on some Brahms, his gay boyfriend (using the added “gay” to emphasise behaviour one often terms gay as opposed to straight behaviour or, in the case of playing Brahms, being-a-snobbish-git-who-doesn’t-know-much-about-classical-music-but-likes-the-idea-of-himself-listening-to-it behaviour), the boyfriend said, I want to put on Pokerface, to which his boyfriend replied, referring to Brahms, Either get it, or get out. The boyfriend went into the bedroom, saw a mouse, he got it and threw it out. The mouse, needing a couple of blocks to regain his composure, re-emerged on Fifth Avenue to walk into the professor’s house where he stumbled upon his wife. She let out a shriek, stumbled over the kitchen stool, hurt her elbow, and had to walk with a cast for fourteen days. What I’m saying is, don’t buy cantaloupes to early in Spring, they tend to be squishy.
