Airing 7 - "Whimpering Bang or Bangin' Whimper"

Yea. That's right. That is correct. BIA -- back in action. Technology prevented me from recording the whole airing, so the archive of this episode contains only the last 48 minutes. Tragically absent from the recording is TNCJH's newest feature: "the 3 o'clock workout block" (but tune in next week to "feel the burn" all over). Some upcoming airing, perhaps next week's, will be entirely instrumental; regardless, there's lots of great new music lining up at the HQ, and the air is alive with promise! Take that, mercantilism!

"Continuation"

The New Contemplative Jive Hours returns early Wednesday morning (January 23) at 2am. Sucka.

"Hiatus and other matters"

The New Contemplative Jive Hours will be on a "winterly hiatus" for the next several weeks. When it returns in 2008, TNCJH will will be moving to Tuesday late nights during the same time slot. Check back in late January (maybe the 20th or thereabouts) for updates.

Due to the success of (a.k.a. my enjoyment of) the winter finale, more "special" shows may be on the way in '08. Some tentative plans: an instrumental show, an "opposite" show, and more!
So keep your jive boots on, poughkeepsie, cause you ain't seen the stars in santa fe 'til the night boat comes rolling in!

Airing 6 - "Last Holiday (feat. Queen Latifah)"

The 2007 finale and seasonal extravaganza. My only regret is that I didn't get around to playing Jim Jones' "Ballin' On Xmas." If you were away in a manger for the broadcast and want some joy in your world, deck your ear canals with this: (not so) silent night (there's some swears in the 50min-60min area, so hide the kids! (see the note on the righthand side of the blog for download instructions))
