We're gonna test out the equipment and see what's what. So if you want to help out, go to thebestshow.net tomorrow and tune in. We're gonna see what works and what doesn't and fix stuff. It's not a real show but I'll be there and it'll be fun so please come by and check it out and help out!
Tom.

Will do!
-
Yes! Listen to this and then waltz on in to Inherent Vice!

#BestShow2014TestPilots''
UPDATE: IT'S ON
-
I'm getting Zep playing now, but only half of the video screen visible and it's timing out. I assume this is just happening for me?
-
I'm getting Gary Numan, no video or way to watch video. But the stream works great - better than WFMU ever was.
-
FRANKIE!
-
The general Audio Out seems kinda low, at least for the music.
-
And so far, using Safari on iPhone 6+ for thebestshow.net is working out just fine!
-
Audio quality is pretty dang good on my Macbook.
-
YESSSSS!
-
This is my first time posting here. Hello, all of you. Sorry that this message brings nothing to the proverbial table. I'm just excited about The Best Show. I'll do better next time.
-
This is completely fantastic

The call quality is great.
-
I was a little late refreshing...does anyone know what the first two records Tom played were? Thanks!
-
Music could be louder, but your levels sound good.
-
There may need to be a "No Google Friend calls" rule -- eek
-
Tom, are there any albums that have come out since your absence that you particularly enjoyed? I really like the new Ariel Pink record. I need some songs to play for my New Year's Party, and you always play the best stuff.
Thanks in advance if you get around to it!
-
Dang, this is great.
-
Is anyone else getting a busy signal constantly when trying to dial the number?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH missed it!
-
Missed it too. Anybody record this?
-
I was able to listen for a bit on my phone. I noticed during the Zeppelin song that I was only getting the instrumental part, didn't hear any vocals. I'm assuming it was the regular track, and not some instrumental version, so don't know if audio channels were an issue.
-
I was really flattered to speak with Tom for a bit! Anyone who missed it, it was fantastic to hear some all-timers: Jason from Hunstville, Erica from Baltimore, Fred (formerly) from Honolulu, and Julie from Cincinnati.
-
Wow, they all called in? I hope I get to hear it later.
-
Did anybody record this? I missed out on it.
-
This was fantastic -- after the first few hiccups, it felt just like a full episode. Bad caller purposely trying to get Bad Company'ed (and then getting that BOMB BLAST sound effect) was the highlight. Or maybe AP Mike talking about taking a shower at the studio.
-
Even on a Test Show, never ever think you can get what you want when you call Tom. That's my lesson of the day.
I'm really happy with how everything sounds and feels. After some minor tweaking, the Best Show will sound at least as good as it did on WFMU -- probably better actually. I listened to a Best Show Gem, and there's always some slight hiss in the background of the WFMU era shows. This is going to be great.
-
wwaaaaahhhh my stupid sister is having a stupid baby and made me miss all this. please tell me someone recorded it? I would love to hear it. i don't need another entry in my 'unheard best shows' google doc....
-
I would be eternally grateful if someone who recorded the test put this up on Soundcloud or something. I'm sure many others would be as well.

The bomb blast was pretty great. I also enjoyed the Human Cigarette.

I couldn't listen to the whole thing live, so I happened to set up to record what I would miss. It starts during the sound collage and there may be some moments it dropped out I didn't pick up on because I didn't get to hear it live.
I hope no one minds that I've posted it here to share - I can't wait for the real show to start!

God yes thank you. I'm listening now. I've got goosebumps.
-
The Mr. T man is back!
-
i can not wait to listen to this. thanks so much!
how much didn't get recorded? did it start with a sound collage?
-
Tom played (I think) The Rover by Zep and 'Are Friends Electric?' by Gary Numan before the collage.
-
Where is the link? How do I listen!

The Best Show, as I live and breathe! Clown time, prepare to be over again.
-
will the new shows be put up as pocasts on iTunes, podcastrepublic etc?
-
could someone please tell me the name of the Joe Walsh song that Tom used at the end of the audio collage and as bed music at the start?
-
Ilovecats: Life's been good.

Is there anyway to download this?
-
How did it work Saturday when you went to the website and listened? Was there a web player or what?
-
The bed music... never not funny.

The site basically looks like this. There should be a play button on the mouse and once you click it, the stream should start directly from the site. There's no pop-up window or anything like that. Props to the person who designed the site. The overall look is pretty awesome.
