Title: Tom has Fun with WFMU Listener Windbags
Post by: jed on June 27, 2008, 08:58:27 AM

This topic might be too specific but relates to one of my favorite elements of the show--when that certain type of WFMU listener calls in and Tom takes them for a ride.  In this call (http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=10378&archive=11642&starttime=00:56:02) Tom shares memories of Studio 54 wildness with Manny.

[EDIT] I just re-read this and realized it could sound like I think people like Manny are dumb. I don't, I like them a lot and I also like it that Tom just sort of plays with them.

Note Tom's spelling of "turlet":  t-e-r-l-i-t.

That call was fantastic.  Is that the one where Tom sings 2 consecutive Belle and Sebastian songs?

Tom: Second verse, Manny.
Manny: Are we still on the air?

That was great.
