share what??

LORDE - The Love Club (music video)

I'll miss it especially since it was the greatest talk show on WFMU, and those are amongst my favorites. There'll be only three or four talk shows left that I am going to regularly listen to.

The main thing I'll miss are the Spike calls. I hope that whichever DJ replaces Tom (even if it's a "random music DJ"), he or she will give Spike 10 - 15 minutes at the beginning of his or her show to talk about his pet peeves, obsessions, and political opinions without any restrictions or interference. I know he calls in on Shut Up, Weirdo, but I'm afraid denying him airtime on Tuesday night might be doing the man a disservice. It only seems fair.

We already have a replacement, they are called Mike and Therese, and I for one wonder if there is anything we can do to convince them and the radio powers that be that we can keep the dream alive!

Dave "Tasteful Nudes" Hill is taking over the time slot.

If nothing else, it'll be nice to hear some Dokken on WFMU!

i probably mentioned this in another thread (or two ) but I seriously felt it in my stomach when Tom said the words "Jon Wurster" on the air. I knew it was real at that moment. I never took the show for granted, I don't think, but I'm only just now realizing just how much space it takes up in my brain. I'm also sort of glad it's ending, in a way. Eh, not glad, I guess, but certainly happy for Tom to be free to pursue whatever he wants to pursue.

I did a radio show for a few years and I know how much time and effort it took to put on a decent three hour show, and I just played music. It's insane that Tom/Mike/Jon have done this for free for so long, INSANE.
