Title: No show tonight 8/26
Post by: masterofsparks on August 26, 2008, 07:53:32 AM
Or so says WFMU.org. Maybe they're trying to figure out what to do with the Newbridge Debate Pavilion?

I figured there wouldn't be after last week's extravaganza.

It's a very well deserved week off! Still, wish there never were any at all, because I miss it when it's gone.

This thread should be called "no sugar tonight".

I am actually a little relieved because tonight I will be "sitting around campfire with son."

Yeah- as much as I always want more Best Show, I have a week's worth of podcasts to catch up on already and I haven't even finished listening to last week's show for the second time yet.

I could use some best show tonight, but I wouldn't be able to listen live anyway.  Still, my life is kind of in the turlet, I could've used a pick-me-up.   :'(

Bummer!  We were finally going to get to listen to the show live tonight!!  Oh well.

On the other hand, last week's show deserves another listen.  One for the books, that one.

A number of us held an impromptu chat yesterday afternoon, and Tom was in there. He said then that there would be no show tonight, so I was let down easy. That sudden chat was fun, though. Let's have more!

I was really looking forward to hearing Spike's thoughts about Hillary's speech at the convention tonight.

It's all good. Think of it this way: more time for serious drinking and tattooing.

I've just finished designing my new tattoo. It will be a picture of Jim Croce's Life and Times on cassete. If I have money left over, maybe we can add the ribbon coming out of it to spell "Doritos." I should use tonight's time wisely and have that inked on my forearm.

statements like that = no way to win an election.

It pains me to say this, AIP, but you sound like a guy who's lost touch with the common people.

Rats.  I set up my work hours and class schedule with the distinct goal of having Tuesday nights off.  I also postponed a date.

This is the first week my schedule is in place, and no show.

That's my life, kids.  I can't wait for next week!

Does anyone else feel that the real convention is a let-down after the Newbridge convention?  It seems like guests at the DNC can leave to go to the bathroom without having to check with their balance-mate.  How dull.

I think the GOP convention will be much more in line with Newbridge tradition. Arnold Schwarzenegger will go on stage and do reps, Dennis Hastert and Rush Limbaugh will have a hoagie-eating contest, President Bush will mispronounce several words, John McCain will whip out his chain, and at the end, Dick Cheney will get barged.

GREAT tattoo design, but would be better with a tall glass of milk next to them.  Or maybe a Yuengling?

There were definitely no Balance Buddies at the Democratic Convention.   Frankly, I think a real opportunity for uniting the party was overlooked.

Back in NYC after a trip out west, missing the Best Show already. I'm with Sarah, I think last week was worth about three or four regular episodes. That doesn't mean that the show should take a three week vacation, just that it's riding a huge wave.

I had a great week. I got married!!!  I couldn't be happier. Had to share my news with everybody.

On an unrelated note -- JJ, knowing how it feels to have down weeks and months, I hope things improve for ya soon.

Watch this brazen (but truthful) attempt to wrest this topic away from Fido.


Wednesday was my 25th anniversary of being married to Carol from Knoxville. I bought her an expensive piece of jewelry that I had no business buying, but I am glad I did, because she is quite the woman.

What did she get me?

Love - Forever Changes
Beck - Odelay
Portishead - Dummy
Van Morrison - Moondance
Blondie - Parallel Lines
Elvis Presley - From Elvis in Memphis
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
PJ Harvey - Rid of Me
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombone

Despite that sounding like many of your worst nightmares, God I love this woman.

I love this album.
