UPA all the way!
Check out Tee Bosustow’s site dedicated to the brilliant work of the animation studio UPA, home of Mr. Magoo, Gerald McBoing Boing, awesomely evocative, yet leanly abstracted mis-en-scene, and other brilliant creations. You can watch a couple of Gerald Mc BB cartoons at the ToonTracker site, as well as the 1953 animation of Poe's “The Tell-Tale Heart” and James Thurber’s “The Unicorn in the Garden.”

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.

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.
