Alex fills in; Mother Nature shuts down 'MBR

Hey sleepies,

Much thanks again to Alex McNeil of Lost & Found for filling in for me today. I was able to enjoy what he was spinning (yay), when, just after halfway point, the station had to go off the air. We're having transmitter problems, no doubt due to the huge thunderstorm yesterday and are still off the air as I type this. (The poor Backwoods junkies!)

I am posting the partial show anyway and will put up Alex's playslist as soon as he sends it to me.

Edited to add that approx 1 hour of Backwoods was streamed over the web (yay) until it got cut off just before 11 am (boo). And, I don't have Alex's playlist yet. I'll tug his shirtsleeve…

Jesse "The Intercontinental" Kaminsky Saves the Day

I was one sick lil' puppy this Friday and Jesse Kaminsky swooped in and did a wonderful Coffeetime fill-in for me. You can see his (illustrated!) playlist on his site: jessekaminsky.com/intercontinental/playlists/04-18-08/.

I am a fan of his own show, The Intercontinental, which is on every Wednesday evening from 6 to 8pm. He brought a soupçon of that style to CT. I listened from my sickbed and was greatly soothed. Thanks, J!

Last week's podcast fixed

Hey, you, my dreamy friends,

If you podcast my show, you may have noticed that last week's podcast was pointed to the previous show that I did. (That is, instead of April 4 show, you got a repeat of March 21.)

I've fixed it. So, now, in addition to being able to download this week's show (April 11), you can download last week's too. I imagine, if you subscribe (thanks, Payton!), your iTunes (or other podcasting app) will automatically download?

You can view this all at coffeetimearchive.org.

Sorry for the mix up!
