The Official Art of the Slap Thread!

[Laurie]

Aw, I'm jealous. There's nary an i dotted with a heart on mine.

[Josh]

So, the Best Show on WFMU has changed my life. And who knows? It may change yours! So listen to it on wfmu.org, visit the website, and pick up the Art of the Slap. Before it wins a Grammy.

The photo of Clontle is hilarious!

Is this going to be on Emusic like the other discs?

[Josh]

JUST GOT IT! JUST GOT IT! JUST GOT IT!

I will not die without it!

I would assume that it will eventually be available on eMusic and iTunes, but the bonus disc containing the Corey Harris Mt. Everest saga will not.

I have a problem. I really, really want to get The Art of the Slap (with the bonus disc, natch), but the order form at Stereolaffs don't accept international customers. I did order vols 1-3 from there a couple of months ago by special arrangement, thanks to the kindness of S&W, but this time around I can't get a hold of anyone to help me out - I tried emailing Stereolaffs, and Tom personally, but no luck.

Any clever ideas? I would, for example, be willing to PayPal someone some dough if they could buy the thing and then forward it to me.

Other Music in NYC has in for sale. I'm pretty sure they do international shipping.

Their website seems to be snafued at the moment but it was working earlier today so I would give it a try later on if you're having problems.

You could also try Midhaven Mailorder:

Both Midhaven and OM have plently of other good stuff if you feel like stocking up.

I've listened to Andy from Lake Newbridge four times now. It gets funnier each time. I love it.

[Andy]

can someone please put it on mininova.org?

Whoops, I ordered it there anyway... I ordered the others in December and also sent an email seeing if I could paypal something extra for shipping but I didn't get a reply (I got the CDs though)!

With all of the foreign listeners, I didn't even consider that we weren't meant to buy 'em from Stereolaffs.

I don't mind paying extra though, if I need to.

From San Diego CityBEAT:

Is your son Skystalker anxious to see the Transformers movie coming out this summer? Is he old enough to realize he was named after a Transformer?


Corey Harris: This is kind of a sore spot. I left Skystalker with a neighbor and had every intention of coming right home after we rocked the summit. I figured it would only take a couple hours to sled back down. Unfortunately, after the Everest disaster, I was laid up in Kathmandu for several weeks. During that time, Sheila Larson—my total skeez of an ex-wife—had a judge issue some kind of cease-and-desist order on me regarding Skystalker. I can't even see him now, which is so tough for me, in part because I need to borrow money from him.

"The only major difference between what the duo did that night in 1997 and what they do now is that they no longer take calls from actual listeners."

My baloney has a first name, it's T-H-I-S-W-R-I-T-E-R. If Laurie is not an actual listener, my life is shattered.

[Susannah]

Seriously, since when is Newbridge "around Philadelphia?" I'm confused.
