Tom has Fun with WFMU Listener Windbags
« on: June 27, 2008, 08:58:27 AM »
This topic might be too specific but relates to one of my favorite elements of the show--when that certain type of WFMU listener calls in and Tom takes them for a ride.  In this call Tom shares memories of Studio 54 wildness with Manny.

[EDIT] I just re-read this and realized it could sound like I think people like Manny are dumb. I don't, I like them a lot and I also like it that Tom just sort of plays with them.

Note Tom's spelling of "turlet":  t-e-r-l-i-t.

That call was fantastic.  Is that the one where Tom sings 2 consecutive Belle and Sebastian songs?

That was great.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!
