Last week’s show, November 18, is now up on the archive. The playlist is below.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Leigh Cochran will be filling in for me; if you're near a radio or the internet, give her a listen. She said she'd be playing jazz and soul.

Here's this week's playlist. The show isn't online yet. Soon, baby, soon! [edited: This show is now online.]

Yesterday's show is now up on the Coffeetime Archive. Playlist to be posted here soon.

Also, here's another fun site I've found recently: The website for a pharmaceutical museum in Japan -- I don't speak Japanese, so I have no idea what the words/characters say, but you can click anywhere and come up with some awesome vintage images. For example, click the second link in the third box from the top on the left hand frame. In other words, just keep clicking blindly (those of you who don't speak Japanese, that is), and enjoy the visuals.

:: A brief message: Thanks so much to everyone who pledged on my fundraising show this year. Thanks to all who support Coffeetime and WMBR this year and every year. I'm humbled by your continued generosity. Special thanks to Hua Hsu of the show Sixty Minute Men (Sat 9-10 pm), Adam Hosein of Eurobeat (Wed 6-8 am), and Jon Pollack of The Jazz Train (Thurs 4-5:30 pm) for helping me out on last thursday's show. In sum, to all: Thanks!!! ::

Hey, kids! Fundraising starts this Thursday, November 4. For Coffeetime, that'll be this Thurs, from 2 pm to 4 pm. I hope you can enjoy the fun and mess. If you want to pledge, I'll be offering all my pledgers a Coffeetime "Hits" CD again this year. Plus, all pledgers to the station will receive a neat enamel lapel pin in the shape of the round "screaming mic" logo.

More on this later.
