I just finished my sound collage in tribute to the return of Tom and The Best Show.  I included some classics and mixed in some of my own clips that I think are worthy.  Happy Halloween!

It looks like the Best Show's return has been shifted to 2015:

I don't know what this means. I've only seen Harum Scarum (Albeit, like 20 times.)

I'm hoping it doesn't mean this. I feel like, if the show was going to be delayed, he would be less cryptic about it. (i hope  :-\ )

Alright. Reading the last few posts has made my entire week. So stoked. For 'The Return'. This is the only thing that matters right now.

Looks like Tom needs 1.7 thousand  more followers on Twitter before we get the Best Show back https://twitter.com/scharpling/status/533388191295094784?s=01

I hope that Tom will take on Lost On the River: The New Basement Tapes when the show returns.  This one hits on a number of Best Show sore spots. T-Bone Burnett produces; Elvis Costello and members of Mumford and Sons contribute; the songs are based on unseen Dylan lyrics; and the whole thing is an attempt to replicate the Basement Tapes, perhaps the most overrated project in rock history.  It's tailor-made for a third-hour Best Show rant.  It's only missing a Tom Waits vocal.

Love it when Tom takes on things that people like largely because, "as a smart person, I'm supposed to like this, right?"  (Tom Waits, that Dylan I'm Not There movie, etc.) T-Bone Burnett and Elvis Costello are pretty perfect for that category.

Is Tom planning a 24/7 internet radio station? I see that Terre T isn't in the new WFMU schedule, boo.

I inquired w/ WFMU re: Terre's absence from the new schedule and was told she did not apply for a show.  So, maybe.  Who knows.
