Title: What you are doing while listening to TBS on WFMU
Post by: ScottT on July 09, 2006, 07:10:36 PM
I'm just curious what people do while listening to the TBS - since it's not like a drive-to-work kind of show. Now that it's podcast I imagine there are more activities possible while listening (though you don't get the great music).

I usually just draw and try to listen to the whole extravaganza through in one sitting (but since I work while it initially airs - I stream it online).

Nothing.  TBS requires full and devoted attention to absorb all of its delicious nuances.

Draw, play guitar, FOTchat and call in.

Oh, and listen.

Since I'm a podcaster I get to listen to TBS in public; typically sitting on trains, standing on trains, walking to or from trains.

Working as a video editor on the graveyard shift, I listen to TBS while editing entertainment news television. Please don't judge- after editing wedding videos for almost 3 years, this is super dupe. Beat that- getting pizzaid and listening! Sadly- no... devistatingly, the new chat doesn't work here. So, pretty much anyone can beat that.

Hey I'm a video editor too!

I did wedding videos for 7 years (before finally getting into the overrworked world of advertising and broadcast), so I sympathize.

I get caught up in very important IM conversations that will determine the outcome of the rest of my life.  ;)

I've come to associate listening to TBSOWFMU live with watching baseball. 

Tomorrow?  ALCS GAME 1 & TBSOWFMU w/ some PBR?

When I have a temp jobs that allows private audio, I'll *always* save it for work (as it speeds up the shift), but that's all too rare.

I spend the whole show on the toilet.

A purification ritual.

So that, in the chance of a W, my entire body will ring with the celestial beauty of that there song that they play when the show stomps the forces of evil.

In case of an L, I immediately run to the compost heap out back and gorge on fermented apple and leaf.

Criminal defense kind.  For your indigent types.

It's hard when Bryce makes Grateful Dead references.  Oh man.

Yes, my first post, even though I am an oldie and not a newbie. Holy moly, has this place changed!!! I feel like I have reincarnated to a better life.

Hello again, everyone!

Over the last 2-3 years I devoted my life to running a small toy company which meant that I was unable to keep up with the live broadcast of TBS. The company started to go out of business back in April 2006 so now that I am unemployed, I have been listening to the archives to catch up. I am currently up to archive dated Feb 28 2006. I like to work on the computer, clean, and cook while listening to TBS.

Hi Quimby What kind of toys? I don't mean that in a salacious way. Just interested in toy making.

Usually I catch up after the fact at work (soul-killing admin crap at Harvard), but since my latest temp job is done, I'm listening now at WMBR (on one of the several computers that I've subscribed the webstream in order to help keep the thing alive...). I was on the air today (shameless plug) and I tend to hang out for many hours after my show is over. Timmy Von Trimble damn near killed me today, FWIW.

My cousin/landlord Henry, who plays bass in New Jersey's The Skels, and I have attempted to start a Tuesday night listening party at his house in Brighton, MA, but it hasn't really gotten off the ground. Yet. The first one (the recent Gene Simmons show) was fun -- plenty of The Champagne of Bottled Beer involved -- but screwy logistics on our respective ends have kept it (so far) from being a regular thing.

Designer toys! I figured that you must be a collector since I think you mentioned Kozik (I don't get it!) somewhere.

I heart Pete Fowler and Scary Girl. I'd kill for a bunny guru.
