New show(s) online; Bend a little my way...

Hey, the latest episode of Coffeetime is now up on the Coffeetime Archive.

Also, by request for zenigeba of the Hot 'n' Cool blog, I've uploaded an old episode of In the Margin of the Other, from January 2, 2002, when I was filling in for Sue Schardt. I hope to be uploading other old shows, either Coffeetime shows or other fill-ins that I've done. Let me know if you have any ones in particular you want to hear.

I'd also like to find out if anyone is using the low-bandwidth streams anymore. If you are, could you email me at coffee at wmbr dot org? (Even my mom now has broadband and uses the high-bandwidth links!)

I've Found a New Playlist

Because we still don't have a national system for ensuring the safety of pets and other animals in our care during natural disasters like hurricanes (there is, though a bill now before Congress), the various animal welfare organizations need our help. Katrina Pets Need Help has a nice list of both national groups as well as local groups in the Gulf Coast area. As always, I also highly recommend the Doris Day Animal League.

New show and a pipsqueak online now

Hey

I've uploaded last Thursday's show (finally!) up onto the Coffeetime Archive. And there's a pipsqueak of a fill-in I did just prior to my show on Alex's Lost & Found. I mostly played requests he'd collected, but I threw a couple of songs in there that I'd picked out. (Guess which...) I'm putting the mini-playlist below.

Also, don't forget to consider donating to help the lost, abandonned, and injured pets. There's a nice list of organizations at Katrina Pets need Help.

Bloomfield, Kooper, & Stills / Stop
Linda Scott / Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed
Dick & DeeDee / Say to Me
Shelby Flint / Cast Your Fate to the Wind

The Exciters / Just Not Ready
Fifth Dimension / Save the Country

Relaxin' with a Playlist

We can't forget the poor pets and other animals lost or abandoned during Katrina. The website Katrina Pets Need Help (katrinapetsneedhelp.com) has a great list of organizations big and small that can use help, whether it's a money contribution, supplies, or the ability to foster or adopt one of the pets.

New show online; please help the pets hurt by Katrina

The latest Coffeetime is up on the Coffeetime Archive.

Also, when your thinking about your donations to help with the hurricane relief effort, please give a hand to the organizations helping pets lost or left behind; I'm putting the link to HSUS Disaster Relief pages here and on the banner on the archive page.

Also, you can give through the American Humane Association. So many pets had to be left behind or got frightened and lost during the storm.
