Album US 2009 on WFMU label
Spoken Word (Comedy, Public Broadcast, Radioplay, Therapy)
The Lost Shows: These are rare Best Shows that were never heard outside of their original airing over the radio or on the archives for a limited period. Why were they removed? Some were taken down because calls that later ended up on Scharpling & Wurster CDs took place during the three hours, and the rest of the show paid the price so the comedy could live. And the first two shows mercifully fall victim to technical issues on the archving side of things (those shows were captured on cassettes that I had decided to roll myself as a backup, thus explaining their slightly incomplete nature). But either which way, they are now available to fill in most of the blanks that have come along the way. Enjoy! Tom Reads Best Show Fan Fiction: Pretty self-explanatory. These works show that people care about the show more than I could have ever expected. Thanks! Tom's One Man Performance Of Mr. Brooks: This is the second installment of the one-man performance series, which began with ROADHOUSE a few years back. I perform every part in the movie and as many of the sound effects as I could pull off. Yes, I know I miss a couple moments here and there, but remember that I did it in one straight two-hour shot. There is a pre-movie countdown on the track, so your best bet is to turn the sound down on your TV or computer and cue up the movie to the literal beginning of the film, before any titles run. The counter should be at 00:00:00. When I count down from ten to one, I will then say "Start the movie!". Then you hit play on your video machine and enjoy. Mucho thanks to David Burns for his production work on this.
