yikes! so finally, here's those two playlists from last week. the 'margin' playlist will not be as jazz-discographical-anal as the coffeetime playlist. that is, no labels and assume the vocalist, if there is one, is the lead artist. the format of the coffeetime playlist will be as always (see previous weeks' blogs).

i'll put them in reverse chronological order, since that's the 'way' with these things we call blogs...
