Hello everybody!

Spread the word - Week Two of The Best Show On WFMU marathon is gonna be heavy duty.

Ted Leo returns for his second year of The Best Show marathon, playing songs for pledges.

But we up the ante with two more amazing guests:

Patton Oswalt is going to be in the studio doing funny stuff for pledges!

And Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service is gonna come by and play some music for pledges!

But the operative word is PLEDGES. If you haven't pledged yet, you have to do it this Tuesday, March 4th between 8-11 PM EST by calling 1-800-989-9368 or going to www.wfmu.org ! This is going to be your LAST CHANCE to get a copy of The Best Show On WFMU WE DID IT AGAIN Fun Pack, which includes a t-shirt, a sticker, the amazing poster and the amazing Patton Oswalt CD EP entitled FRANKENSTEINS AND GUMDROPS, which is available ONLY during my marathon! Once it's gone, it's GONE.

Please spread the word on this. Let everybody you know who might be interested in pledging know what's going down. Ted Leo, Ben Gibbard and Patton Oswalt all LIVE IN STUDIO for The Best Show this Tuesday, March 4th between 8-11 PM EST!

If we have already pledged, can we pledge again?

JM in the AM's final total is $125,699.  Think the FOT can donate $85,700 tomorrow, so the show will indeed be supreme?  (Seriously, though, when you consider that JM/AM is on five days a week, last week's $40,000 becomes all the more impressive.  May this week match or surpass it!)

I find all this competitive one-upmanship about which DJ earned what to be very not toward.  The goal about the marathon is to raise much-needed money for WFMU, not make Bob Jones or Pat Duncan the highest grossing DJ.

C'mon one of the FOT has got to be doing this. This place is lousy with OCD!

I think it's all in fun, Gravy Boat.  All of the money goes into the same (hopefully) big pile.

Of course, gravy.  What I really wish is that I were a modern-day John Beresford Tipton who could give a pledge to every single show on the roster.  It has been very hard holding off till tomorrow night.  The Web-only DJs in particular pluck at my heartstrings.

Did you come to this conclusion during your meditation class?

Also, I let it be known to a podcasting friend of mine that he will NOT be burning my new Patton Oswalt CD if he doesn't pledge. Nems the breaks, kid.

I just found out that I may not be able to listen tonight. My laptop is broken and my boyfriend's internet mysteriously stopped working. (That happens a lot in his building.)

 Pledging online is the easiest way to go as Tom's phone slaves are typically drunk, surly and suffer from poor penmanship.
