Is there an image of the new Best Show shirt posted anywhere?

Thanks.

Nevermind. Found it!!!

I love the Radio Bear design, but it's the weirdest shaped shirt ever. Super tight under the armpits, but flappy huge sleeves. Feels like it was designed for female bodybuilders to wear.

Wide, low cut neck, too. My shirt was a lot paler that the toddler T I got my kid. Love the design, hate the shirt it was printed on.

Anybody else who emailed Tom his pledge: Does he email back to let you know he got it and recorded it? I emailed him yesterday and haven't heard from him. I know the big guy is busy, just wondering.

[Tom Scharpling]

If you emailed me your pledge, you can assume I got it and wrote it up. It was pure chaos yesterday.

And if you are really worried that I didn't get your pledge, PM me your info and I will cross-reference it to make sure it went in.

Thanks again!

Tom.

These people on WFMU's Facebook page are actually getting offended by the GG Allin tribute, saying it's hipsters using rape for ironic comedy...

Irony?  I don't know what that is.

Going by 4chan's logic, for instance, I think the definition is "a listener of any kind of music that is not metal, classical, or any combination of the two."

it's become a weird catch all word for people to use when they're angry for no good reason.

What's particularly rich is that the person getting all huffy uses as her Facebook URL a cutesy play on the name of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb.

Is it a tribute or a mockery?

All I ever knew about GG Allin is that he used to show up on daytime talk shows all the time and would freak out the squares with his crazy antics. I think it was Geraldo he appeared on most iften, but it may have been Morton Downey Jr.

Is it a tribute or a mockery?

If the songs are cleaned up I'd say mockery, Mr. F-Legs.

[Denim Gremlin]

has anyone gotten any 2011 marathon stuff yet? best show or other wise?

i'd totally forgotten about it until the other day and was wondering. i feel like the station swag usually arrives pretty quickly so i got worried i might have fucked something up with my info.

i'm not complaining, i'm just curious if anythings been sent out.

[masterofsparks]

I haven't gotten anything. It seems like I don't typically get my stuff until late summer (July or August), although the WFMU homepage does say they're beginning to send stuff out.
