Best Show Dreams?

[AaronC]

I had a dream not too long ago that I went to see Bob Dylan & Bruce Springsteen in concert (in my dream they were a duet).  The opening act was Corey Harris of Mother 13.

I had a Seven Second Delay dream the other night,

I had a Seven Second Delay dream the other night,

New regime! First against the wall!

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

It was probably inspired by the 7SD house party and my meeting with Ken about this radio play show - one of the guys who's doing the show with me was there.  We were out to dinner with Ken and Andy, and it was all being broadcast live.  I had a great time, but remember thinking, "this is going to make terrible radio."

The Best Show is on Wed morning for me here in Japan. I'll wake up and turn it on get dressed, cook breakfast and so on. Sometimes I fall back asleep however. One time I had a dream that occurred as I was sleeping with the show on. Tom had invited me to his house to watch him record the show. He was very nice to me and I was totally flattered. He kept on asking if I wanted to come on air with him during the breaks, but I declined saying that I'd rather sit out on his nice porch and listen to him do the show live.

Porch!?!

Wow.  Now that takes me back to the old WFMU house in East Orange, New Jersey.

Sweet dreams.

This morning, I had a very exciting dream: Tom and Ted were at my house, and I made them coffee.  Tom asked for one teaspoon of sugar in his, and I was careful not to commit the gaucherie of offering cream.  I awoke with a strong yen for a cup of joe (I haven't had any in months) and just now caved in to temptation, purchasing some nice organic dark-roast beans from my sister and brewing myself a strong cup, which I have doctored with equally organic sugar and raw cream (I'm so pure). 

I should be alert for the show tonight.  But that will be counterbalanced by the mojitos I plan to make to consume as I listen.

I recently dreamt that I was listening to a quiz show hosted by Tom and got really mad when I found out it was a rerun (or podcast?) and I couldn't call in to win anything.

 Save some coffee for next Tuesday, Sarah.

This week only: Are We There Yet? with Tamar
Special: Tamar fills in for Tom Scharpling tonight

 Sorry.

[Sarah]

I blame you.

I dreamt that 'The Best Show: The Movie' was coming out soon, and giant versions of the B.M Weaver poster were on billboards and in cinemas.

In a semi-meta twist, I dreamt last night that I was at a cinema in Germany to see the premiere of The Best Show Movie (I think this is linked to me recently discovering that Monk is quite popular in Germany, so I guess it'd make sense to open Tom's movie there??!!!). And indeed, giant Weaver posters were all over the place, advertising it. And I met Tom there. At first I thought it was just a lookalike or something, then I realised that the movie tour must be the reason why he'd missed a few recent shows. I asked him if he got the idea to use the Weaver poster as the movie poster from my post in the 'Best Show Dreams' thread.




What an exhausting night!

In my dream last night I went to Gonerfest.

I missed the first day because I hadn't realized it was Friday already - I had been sitting at my desk for an entire week & forgot to get up or to even buy my plane ticket (I think this speaks to how I feel about my current job).

When I arrived at Gonerfest on Saturday, (which was held in CA) I met Tom Verlaine ? ? ? who told me he was playing there with another band. He was wearing a really eccentric outfit with lots of neon colors.

That's all I remember.

california can wait.

I had the inverse of this dream last night. Tom invited all the FOTs to come over and listen to him do the show. As everybody's filing out afterward, I somehow produced a knapsack and ask him if it's OK to do a load of laundry before I leave. He looked stunned for a second, then says "You're not Captain Jack, are you?" I stammered out an embarrassed "no" and beat a hasty path out.

(I have no idea where that came from - I'm actually a good houseguest. It's like dreams are my FOTchan. Why couldn't I have been as considerate as you or Sarah?)

I only remember a 'scene' from this dream last night but Wurster and I were either A) in a band together and it was our first practice or B) were playing on the same record and he was playing that drum beat from that Mountain Goats video that was posted. I had just walked into the practice space (which doesn't exist in real life) and was setting down my stuff and chit chatting.

The only surreal part (other than everything; now that I think about it) is that Wursters drumsticks were abnormally huge. Not comedy huge but 'wow, that's a big drum stick' huge. I remember talking to him about how cool the snare drum sound was for the Mountain Goats stuff and we talked about snare drums and mic's and sticks. Now I'm going to go watch the video again to see if his drumsticks really were that huge or if it was some phallic detail my subconscious created.

I was thrilled when I remembered this dream snippet on my way to work because I had a place to write about it.
