Had to put up the whole eleven exchange:
Nigel Tufnel: 'The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...'
DiBergi: 'Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?'
Nigel Tufnel: 'Exactly.'
DiBergi: 'Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?'
Nigel Tufnel: 'Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?'
DiBergi: 'I don't know.'
Nigel Tufnel: 'Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?'
DiBergi: 'Put it up to eleven.'
Nigel Tufnel: 'Eleven. Exactly. One louder.'
DiBergi: 'Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?'
Nigel Tufnel: 'These go to eleven.'

Playing Rock and Roll
DiBergi: 'Do you feel that playing rock 'n' roll music keeps you a child? That is, keeps you in a state of arrested development?'
Derek Smalls: 'No. No. No. I feel it's like, it's more like going, going to a, a national park or something. And there's, you know, they preserve the moose. And that's, that's my childhood up there on stage. That moose, you know.'
DiBergi: 'So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose on stage?'
Derek Smalls: 'Yeah.'
Derek Smalls: 'No. No. No. I feel it's like, it's more like going, going to a, a national park or something. And there's, you know, they preserve the moose. And that's, that's my childhood up there on stage. That moose, you know.'
DiBergi: 'So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose on stage?'
Derek Smalls: 'Yeah.'
More Spinal Tap
As I mentioned yesterday, I kinda thought quoting Spinal Tap might take two or three days:
DiBergi: 'It's very pretty.'
Tufnel: 'Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months.'
DiBergi: 'It's a bit of a departure from what you normally play.'
Tufnel: 'It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.'
DiBergi: 'It's very nice.'
Tufnel: 'You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...'
DiBergi: 'What do you call this?'
Tufnel: 'Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".'
DiBergi: 'It's very pretty.'
Tufnel: 'Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months.'
