Geared-Up Jazz, Aug. 11, '12

Welp, I'm back, a little late, but better than never. Seems I've had some sort of low-level illness for the past two weeks and it made it very hard to get anything accomplished. So much so that I wasn't able to DJ this past Saturday at all, as whatever it was that was making me ill had only broken the night before and I wasn't in any shape to even look at music.

But enough about my problems, you want these recordings, don't you? ;-)

Chai Me Up, Aug. 8, '12

In weeks past, this wouldn't be up for a couple more days, but I'm putting it up now because of the trouble people were having hearing it. Turns out that it wasn't anything we could have fixed, as the server farm the stream provider's computer was located at was having its routing tables worked on while the event was going on so the re-buffering problem was completely out of the control of anyone who wasn't physically on that site. 

Anyway, here's the reconstructed and rebuilt recording of this week's session, and here's the playlist:
