Title: Sound Effects Board?
Post by: Matt on December 03, 2007, 04:04:08 PM: Hey all,

I was listening to Radio Free Yo La Tengo on my portable media device today, and I loved Tom's sound effects board with the clips of Paris Hilton, Dave Chappelle, etc. It got me thinking about if Tom's ever used such a device on the Best Show. I seem to recall a caller mentioning it, but I haven't heard it on any of the archives I've listened to. If this ever actually happened, could anyone tell me which shows feature Tom's board? And is it the same board from RFYLT?

Thanks!

The January 30, 2007 show, is where he makes extensive use of it. (there might be some more use of it around this time)

"Now your a GHOST!"

Post by: Bozarth on December 06, 2007, 10:19:09 AM: I hadn't heard the original sound board show, so when Tom ghosted that first caller, I had to pause the show.

I really hope that the sound board is around for a lot longer, especially for a really angry "You're a ghost!"

Post by: Bozarth on December 07, 2007, 09:30:06 AM: In last week's show, Tom just turned them into ghosts.

The first sound board episode was the birth of the combo, but this time around The Kid was mixing it up, keeping it fresh.

Post by: kray on December 07, 2007, 07:06:35 PM: just heard on the most recent podcast spike got the "you're a ghost" effect and line and i lost it. i do hope this happens more often.

Post by: TVD on December 07, 2007, 08:25:34 PM: i laughed until i hiccupped whenever Tom used that thing, it always hit me off-guard.
