Title: TUESDAY MARCH 18 - TODD BARRY LIVE IN STUDIO!
Post by: Tom Scharpling on March 17, 2008, 01:31:06 PM
I'm excited to announce the dramatic return of TODD BARRY to The Best Show On WFMU this Tuesday March 18th.

He'll be live in the studio telling us all about his new album FROM HEAVEN and taking your phone calls! So get your questions ready!

Tom.

Oh snap! This should be great. I dig his new CD, and encourage others to check it out.

I hope he does that one bit with the deadpan delivery.





In all seriousness, this is awesome.

I've often though Todd Barry would make the most ideal best show guest, due to his pacing. This is good news!

Todd is no Best Show virgin.

I hope that guy who knows Vince Gallo calls in again, if only to recreate that hilarious Best Show moment when Todd suggested that the guy has Gallo take him to get a steak (which is no longer available in the archive, iirc). That guest appearance is/was one of the all-time greats in Best Show history.

Tom called him on the 4/5/05 show to get an opinion on Mitch Hedberg's passing. Not really the happiest of interviews, but it's the only appearance I've encountered in my ongoing trip through the archives.

Turns out Todd's also a great writer:

Yeah, I found it and it bummed me out all over again. But in a way it also makes me look forward to tonight even more, as there are no recent deaths to be discussed, so it should be hilarious on par with what I expected the first time!

I remember Todd had some great advice for Louis CK once, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

I can't either.... how funny!

I think it had something to do with business practices.

Yeah, the South bashing kind of annoyed me. Now I have to steamroll all my Cynics albums.

Take it easy, guys. At least he didn't say you were all a bunch of Ku Kluckers.

Ah, I must have been busy on the phone. In that case, I applaud Tom's frankness in telling the truth.

Haha sorry I meant my call but I was being cheeky about it. Tom asked me if everyone born in Georgia was automatically a member of the KKK.

Holy moley - the man joins the board just to say "You're welcome"? Additional proof that Todd Barry is a class act, right up there with the likes of Mike D, MCA and Ad Rock.

Kudos, sir!

EDIT: Thanks to Sarah, this post is FIXED!
