Title: 'LA Podcast' Mash-up
Post by: Matt from Halifax on November 18, 2013, 12:24:19 PM
Hi!

Relatively new Best Show listener here (discovered it about 2-3 years ago) and new to the forum.

I'm trying to track down a show from at least a year ago (I think?) in which Tom sings his version of 'LA Woman' ('Same six comedians on every show/How is this any better than radio?'). Any help would be appreciated. I've spent a while searching the board but could use a hand.

Thanks!

I just listened to this ep!

May 22, 2012: CHRIS GETHARD's worst idea ever. Atlantic City. Dumpster woes. Calls from Newbridge High class presidential candidate Mike Wilkens & his campaign manager, Kyle. Entertainer DAVE HILL, author of “Tasteful Nudes”, and comedian NICK FLANAGAN in studio!

Podcast talk starts around 1:02

Thanks to your replies, I got a hold of the audio from that episode (and Tom's reprise from July 10th, 2012!) and spliced it together with an instrumental version of L.A. Woman to complete the gag. Also brought the song down from 7 to 3 minutes - I can only handle so much Doors.

I realize the bit is over a year old, but it made me laugh at the time. I was also super impressed at how accurate Tom's timing and key were, particularly for someone who hates The Doors so much!

Thanks, folks! I now have Tom's acapella guitar riffs in my head at all times.

Awesome job, M from H!!

"MR. JIM-MY PAR-DO ... (right?)"

Tom's always been a "know thine enemy" type of guy.

P.S. Yr soundcloud page just automatically went to the Hodgman/Modern Lovers mash-up, and that's great as well. Is that from a "John Judge Hodgman" episode? If so, which one? Is that actually him doing the acapella?

Thanks! That was a super fun project too. I actually played the instruments on that one (with my friend Stephan on guitar) because I love the Modern Lovers. I think Tom's Sound Collage was a partial inspiration for the Hodgman mash-up, I dug way back to an earlier Judge Hodgman episode to compile and edit his discussions on manual transmission for the spoken word section.

Hodgman himself really enjoyed the track and was kind enough to RT and even 'buzz-market' it on a later JJH podcast! Honestly one of the nicest celebrity/artist encounters I've ever had.

He's a good dude, even though he hasn't always been nice to Mike and Gary ...

I imagined he was bummed there'd not be another Four Lokos of Christmas (when referring to the pizza party extending into the holiday party.)

Thanks again!

Do you think it's worth posting in the 'Dear Tom' section? I already pm'd Tom a while ago but don't want to seem overbearing. I'm sure his inbox is being bombarded with assorted weirdos and well-wishers at this point.
