Scharpling & Wurster contribute to SCORE! Merge Records: The First 20 Years
SCORE! Merge Records: The First 20 Years, our deluxe subscription-only box set with special artwork and packaging will include a full-length CD of new & exclusive Scharpling and Wurster hilarity.
Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster are a renowned comedy duo who have been doing their thing since 1997. Tom is the host of the legendary radio program, "The Best Show on WFMU." Tom is also a writer and co-executive producer on the award winning television program Monk. Jon Wurster is the drummer for Superchunk and many other artists such as A.C. Newman, Bob Mould and The Mountain Goats. Together, Scharpling and Wurster regale the WFMU listeners with comedy genius every Tuesday night from 9-11pm. They have also released five collections of their material on their label, Stereolaffs.
We are currently taking orders for SCORE! at a discounted price that will end November 8. Subscription orders will only be available until January 2009. Subscribers will receive fourteen curated compilation CDs, the remix CD, the covers CD, the cover art book, the Scharpling and Wurster CD and a box to
hold them all in. More surprises and other exclusive content still to be announced! All proceeds from SCORE! will benefit charities chosen by the curators.
Ordered mine!

It would make a nice Christmas present but I doubt I can convince anyone to get it for me.

Very tempting, but why would I want CDs?
CDs are such a useless and boring format. I thought better of Merge with its sale of high-bitrate MP3s, FLACs, and 180 gram vinyl.

Every Tuesday from 9-11? Apparently the guy who wrote that press release hasn't listened to the show since 2000.

easy...it could have been a typo.

No other way to get the S&W disc, huh? That sucks for someone like me who has little to no interest in 14 CDs worth of Merge releases.

Ditto on that, mos.

This will eventually be available on our website by its lonesome.
And remember that this is for charity. We wouldn't do something this cost-prohibitive if it wasn't for something truly worthwhile.
Please be patient on this one.
Tom.

im pretty sure Jason Forrest is on the remixes cd, if anyone needs another FMU connection to justify getting this.
-
okay so this IS an actual physical box set? not a digital "box set"?
I only ask because Merge never explicitly SAYS it's a physical set. They just say it's a subscription service. If it's physical though I am now ordering it, finances be damned!
Okay, i'm a moron. Ordering it now!

In case anybody was waiting on this, today is the last day to save 20 bucks on the price.

thanks for the reminder, Ramsey!
