Show’s up, sho ’nuff!

Hey, me lads & lassies, the mp3’s of last Thursday’s show are now up on the Coffeetime archive.

Also, found this super duper site on Elektra records while researching the cover artist Harvey. You need to check out John Glassburner’s site on this cool, surreal guy Harvey. I was pointed to his site a few days ago and the Harvey mystery piqued my inner Nancy Drew. I checked a few of my books on album cover design and, after a bit o’ time on Google/A9, found the Elektra site. A bit of putting 2 and 2 together and I’m wondering whether Bill Harvey, art director at Elektra/Nonesuch and P. Harvey of these crazy Savoy covers were related. I believe Bill Harvey passed away a few years ago, but P. “Dali” Harvey (my nickname) may still be out there. If you have any info on Harvey, email John or me!

March 24th show is now online!

Happy Easter. I hope you got that chocolate bunny you were hoping for. I loved the little baskets w/ that cellophane “grass” when I was a kid. I loved the promise of speckled candy eggs, jelly beans (the real old fashioned kind that had a much fresher sweetness than the modern sort), the eggs we'd colored ourselves the night before, and our brand new white ankle socks. We'd open a pack before dawn, when it was still dark out, getting ready for sunrise services. It hurt, getting up out of a warm bed that early, but it did make the multi-colored sugary day to come that much sweeter. Ankle socks, patent leather mary janes, navy coats with peter pan collars, little hats that gripped our heads, white gloves, and pretty dresses in pastel colors (mine, usually blue) with poofy petticoats underneath so the skirts stuck straight out at 45 degree angles.

SOoooo, check the Coffeetime Archive for the mp3's of the show. And, also, for those who dig this sort of thing, I've added an Atom link (It's at the bottom of the righthand sidebar). I can use it w/ the built in RSS subscribing in Firefox for the Mac. Let me know what you think, if you use it, that is.

One more fixed link!

Yikes, I guess I've been out o' it. I have now fixed the link to the hi-bandwidth version of last week's show. Guess no one really cared, boo hoo. Although, Eric in Arlington (a sharp-eyed part of metro Boston, I must say!) was the one who alerted me to it.

Also noticing, as I type this, that Firefox on OS X is very hinky for wwriting posts. EEEEEEks -- this is typing mayhem!

I love me some Firefox, but I guess I'll have to Safari thhesee babeeeez from hereon in.

whoo heeee, does htis post look like garbaaaaaage. (but you get the gist o' it, riiight????)

Whee! Titles to the posts

Um, now my posts have titles. Not sure how this will affect things, but why not?

Also, I'm now hating these colors…makeover must happen soon.

Ooopsies: the link to the archive in the previous post was wrong (the code, that is). I have fixed it. It now takes you to coffeetimearchive.org (ORG, Angelynn!), which, maybe, perhaps, possibly, is where you wanna go?

Thx to eagle eye Eric for alerting me to the bum link!

March 17 show is now up on the Archive.

I changed the look of the blog again. Ha ha. Must be spring!

What this blog really needs are pictures. I'll get working on that.

The March 10 show with Bob as guest deejay is now available to stream at the Coffeetime Archive.

The playlist for Bob’s guest turn on Coffeetime this year can be found in PDF form here.

I’m having some troubles uploading the mp3’s to the archive, but I’ll keep trying and let you know when we have lift off.

Thanks once more to Bob for his generous support of Coffetime and WMBR, and for his sweet spins when he sits behind the controls.

Big thanks to Bob Biletch who was the guest deejay on Coffeetime yesterday. Bob is a friend as well as a supporter of Coffeetime and WMBR; he’s contributed generously to our fundraiser for 6 years now. He’s always my top pledger. But he’s also a great guy and we always have a good time when he stops by. And I know Coffeetime listeners enjoy the mix he brings to the show.

I’ll post his playlist sometime this weekend, as well as put up the mp3’s on the Coffeetime Archive.

This week’s show is now up on the Coffeetime Archive.

Do you like the new look? A gal likes to try on new clothes now and then!

It’s okay, but I’ll probably fiddle with the code a bit over the next few weeks.

Found another cool site (by way of Papel Continuo): Harry McCracken’s Home Movie Cartoon Box Museum. I particularly like his descriptions of each little animated movie and how the cartoons on the boxes didn’t always match the ones on the film inside.

February 10 Coffeetime is now online at the Coffeetime Archive.

I’ve been pretty under the weather all week. I’m not improving much, however, I’m probably doing too much too. Work and dust bunnies pile up!

Sooooo, still no playlists. Apologies. You’ll have to listen to the shows with the element of surprise inherent in live radio still intact.

February 3 Coffeetime is now online at the Coffeetime Archive, both as a 128 kbps mp3 for download (for those w/ high bandwidth) or a lo lo lo 24 kbps mp3 stream (for those on dial up). Actually, the lo lo lo version sounds fine, at least through my 'puter speakers.

I’m sick sick sick. And I never catch colds or the flu. Never. But I have now. I just wanted to hop on here and let you know the show was available, baby.

Playlist? Might take me a few days. In fact, there are two week’s worth of unfiled records and CDs lying on the floor. Sigh...
