Purchases you've made for which The Best Show is entirely to thank/blame

[AllisonLeGnome]

I kept seeing this thread and thinking how I can't really attribute any purchases solely to the Best Show (which I sort of consider a convergence of things I already think are awesome), but now I just ordered Tales Designed To Thrizzle!

Ha, I forgot about the Hooters.  I found their greatest hits album at an antique mall in Columbus, WI.  Bought it maybe two years ago, and still haven't listened to it.  But I like fact I own it.

i also bought several ABBA LPs (in the dollar bin) because of the best show, and then i caved in and got the albums cd box set.

i also bought a Von LMO cd once, but i ended up selling it on ebay.

The Monkees: Head and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.

Now how do I stop "Ditty Diego" from looping around my brain endlessly?

Picked this up for a buck yesterday. I can imagine PBR rawkin out with the heavy part kicks in. I honestly  LOL'd when I flipped to it.

Probably, Ted Leo. The Best Show did remind me how much I used to love Clifford.  

I was around 10, and my Mom rented for me what she thought was Clifford the Big Red Dog. The VHS box had a picture of Martin Short in front of a big dog house. She rented it, thinking nothing of it, and took the movie home for me to watch.

The whole family ended up loving the movie. It became sort of a family movie that we rented all the time to show to new people. But as I got older, I forgot about Clifford. It was just this past year listening to The Best Show that Tom reminded me of my love of Clifford. And this past Thanksgiving I bought the DVD, and we again watched it as a family.

The movie holds up and is both watchable for children and adults.

The Best Show did remind me how much I used to love Clifford.  

I know I would always rent it when my cousins came to visit and watch it alone because everyone I knew hated it. Finally I felt accepted.

Man, Emma, I just re-gifted my Secret Santa Truck Nutz to my little hipster brother, who's going to attach them to his fixed-gear bike (sorry, RegularJoe, but you've got to admit it's an inspired idea).

I'd have to expand the topic question to include The Cherry Blossom Clinic, 7 Second Delay, The Evan "Funk" Davies Show, this board, and the various FOT Twitter accounts, as I don't remember the exact provenance of a lot of this stuff, but there is a lot of it.  A lot of it I already knew about or also heard about elsewhere, but the Best Show connection clinched it.

My dad was coming over to help put up drywall last weekend, and was at a yard sale with some vinyl, and picked some up for me because it was cheap.  One of the records was this:

When he told me he was picking that up, I laughed and told him to grab it immediately.  He didn't know why I was laughing, I couldn't really explain it, but now I've got it.  Well worn double gatefold.  Probably would sound better coming out of a wristwatch with MEGABASS, but whatever.

Past present movers moments we'll process the future, but only
To touch him we know, send flowered rainbows
That chased flowers of dark and lights of songs
To you, show all we feel for and know of, cast round,
Youth is the truth accepting that reasons will relive
And breathe hope and chase and love
For you and you and you






and don't you ever forget it
