Ah, the clarion call of another episode of Coffeetime ready for downloading or streaming at the Coffeetime Archive.

Doggy days of summer, the air's so thick you gotta chew it, clothes won't dry on the line, mushrooms popping up all over the place. The sort of days when you use the chilled sweat on the side of a glass of iced whatever to cool your forehead. Ah.

Learning to love you is easy...

Late Breaking News

I've been called up to do my dooty at jury duty tomorrow. ACK. So, luckily, Charlie Kohlhase of WMBR's fine fine Research & Development fame has kindly agreed to cover my ass and treat you to his stylings on Coffeetime. Should be a treat for everyone. Be gentle with him…

Drum roll, please: Aug 4 show is online!

Yes, indeedy: the August 4 episode of Coffeetime is now online at the Coffeetime Archive. Guaranteed to quench thirst better than a medium Del's (with a handful of pretzel rods on the side).

Ooooo, there's a lull in my playlist…
