This bloggy is going inactive for a few months, since the New Contemplative Jive Hours do not occur during the summer. Check back in early September for updates on what time slot the show will have in the fall.

Airing 19 - "End Times/Ain't No Party Like a Rapture Party"

The last airing of the 07/08 season! And there's no better way to close out the year than with a MILD EXTRAVAGANZA! Including: some great new tunes, some favorite older tunes, two LIVE in-studio performances (the second one is really, really awful). But all in all, it was a New Contemplative Jive Hours for the ages.

Airing 13 - "Half 'n' Half"

Trying out a new format-style:
first half = new contemplative jams from recent releases (with some older stuff mixed in too);
second half = instrumental jive/sleep hour.

I'm not sure if I like this format or not, but I'll probably do it for at least another week. comment if you have any comments.
