a haiku:
unfortunately
there ain't no jive hours this week
cause i'm gone baby

Airing 23 - "Maelstrom"

Some, like, technical problems and sheez this week. Not that bad, but I had to restart a song or two because our CD players were being temperamental. The archived show preserves these precious moments in all of their unpolished glory - college radio at it's finest.

Oh and I'm gonna try something new for you, dear blog consumer: i'll be italicizing my favorite new songs from each show, starting with this one. I like all the music that I play, but some songs are just dang awesome, and i'd like to foist my opinions onto you as much as possible.
Get down with the jive hours, son!

Airing 22 - "Savory Spiritual"

Ok, so this is like a week and a half belated. And due to various factors (including, but not solely on account of, laziness), there will be no playlist for this airing. Maybe a couple weeks down the line one will show up, but don't get your hopes up.
But since I actually recorded this show, you get to hear the track names straight from the smooth, sassy voice of dj paul. Except that I only announce them like every 45 minutes...

Airing 21 - "Secondary Salmagundi"

Same deal as the first airing - the archive is just a mix, not an actual recording of the show.
This is a really good one though, and you can start to see the trend that i'm heading towards: all new music. I played out a lot of my collection last year, and I want to keep the jive hours extra fresh.

Speaking of which, you should probably listen to the new show "Xtra Fresh" on saturday late-nights at 2am. DJ Baron von Jacuzzi will caress your ears and finesse your hips with non-stop electro-pop greatness.

Airing 20 - "Opening Alloy"

So I didn't actually record the first two airings of this fall, but I did put together a mix of the songs that I played. The disadvantage (or is it an advantage?): none of the trademark "this day in history" or other captivating monologues... but you've got wikipedia, you can look some up for yourself.

sum

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.
