WFMU you're on the air!
Back when I was working at Turntable Lab with Kyle, we would often listen to literally anything besides what the store would sell, in direct opposition to the "only listen to what the store sells" policy. This is how we both got hooked on the Zombies, and why we would listen to stuff like Terry Gross' interview with Iggy Pop.
One day Kyle threw on something from his iPod which was someone calling WFMU, which ended up being one of my favorite things I've ever heard. If you have ever met a music snob or record nerd you will know exactly who this type of guy is.
Recently I forced Kyle to email the file to me so I could listen to it again... I also played the beginning of it for Michna when I was at his house this weekend and we ended up listening to the whole half-hour of it. Prank caller or real? You be the judge...

update: this is a new link to the full file, not cut off at the end like the old one was
*bonus! Jay Black "One Night Affair" via Kyle
*double bonus! The caller's (AKA "Charles Martin, the Music Scholar") Top 5 tracks of all time!
its fake, woody. thats a clip from the best show with tom sharpling. tom is a comedy writer by trade - i think he wrote for monk on tv and something else - and on the radio he has a cast of friends that do these skit segments with him. still funny!
thanks killjoy.... I was just going to leave a hahah LOL comment, but this is strictly in the mildly amusing and immediately disposable department now. People like this DO exist though.
