After fighting with hurricanes, and work, I've finally been able to get back online and post these two shows up. One I kept trying to make during the hurricane itself, but I was interrupted by a couple power outages. It was intended to be a nice, kiss off to Hurricane Katrina as it moved through my area. Right now though, I'd like to wish everyone in New Orleans well and offer them some hope that it will all come out okay. The Miami area got it as a newly minted one, they're getting it as a strong, category five.
The first mix I'm putting up today, however, was one made by Dellessa, one of our readers. Frankly, it's really damn good, so we thought we'd put it up here. I played it at work, and it got better reviews than my own companion mix.
Here's the mix:

The second is my attempt blow off to Katrina. I'm afraid that the first couple times I worked on it, I lost power, otherwise I'd have been finished and posted sometime during the storm. In hindsight, it probably works quite well now. I was pleased that I was able to get the recordings of the Hurricane information from an old record I obtained that came from a radio station. It says it's property of the US government, but I doubt anyone is looking. I don't know how old the record is, but based upon a lot of the other stuff i obtained in that little deal, it seems to be from the fifties or sixties. Also, the final track isn't from the famous Seattle band, but from a moderately famous English group from the late sixties. "Rainbow Chaser" was one of their few "hits."

Finally, we've also been doing some housekeeping on our server, so some of the earlier shows have been taken down. We've still got them tucked away safely on our harddrives. If anyone would like one of the old ones, email us and we'll see what we can do.
