Groucho Marxist posted:I don't know the exact date, but I love the one where Tom and the callers write a song for Ted Leo to play at the end of the show. edit: looks like the links on that page don't work but you should be able to find the show in the archives I think? edit 2: Also, the Wurster call from 2010/7/6 was hilarious, that was the character who writes songs of the form "<X> Sucks", I don't think that's in the gems yet het fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Oct 25, 2011 |

LDP is fun when he's just kinda weird and they don't play into the Perv part so much. The "I'm just a microphone fan" thing a few weeks ago really cracked me up.

Good Slumlord posted:Am I alone in disliking Wurster? quote:So I'm alone? I mean, I got into the show via Rock, Rot, & Rule, so Wurster was specifically the appeal to me, but it sort of baffles me that anyone would be listening and not liking Wurster's stuff (which isn't to say that it's undeniably funny, just that the rest of the show is a lot sparser/more hit and miss imho, so I'm surprised that that's what you're there for)

It's really funny that he praised Supersonic Storybook since I think Albini notoriously hated Urge Overkill

Past Tense Ragu posted:Scharpling implies that Paul F Tompkins is evil in this last episode, haha. That must have been some royal loving-over he gave him. It's a great episode by the way. That weird female caller "Quinn" who wouldn't "say she wasn't" friends with Tim Allen and then hung up, and Scharpling making Spike revise his nickname for Kevin Costner. That "there you go!" when he finally lands on Kevin Costco makes me laugh whenever I think of it.

DangerDummy! posted:If anyone out there shares Tom's fascination with Morton Downey Jr., or if his recent interview with one of the directors piqued your interest, "Evocateur" is now up on Netflix instant watch. It was okay, but nothing earth-shattering. I enjoyed it more as a trip down memory lane than anything else. It ended up being a lot drier than I expected.

Yeah, I'm really bummed though Tom's obviously right that it was an unreasonable and unsustainable thing to do for no money at all (indirect exposure and such aside).

It's one of the only mixes of actual callers and Wurster bits out there. He pretended to be an author who wrote a book rating what bands sucked and what bands didn't with no credentials and trolled a bunch of music nerds that called in.
