This Week in the Shack

Sorry for skipping last week. Thanksgiving was one giant technology fail: my laptop (on which I do all the work for the Shack) got infected with the antivirus pro malware and I ended up having to reset it to the factory settings to get rid of the damn thing. Also over the weekend, my dying wireless router finally gave up the ghost, so my only internet access was on my aging desktop.

Everything is now fixed, a new router is in place, and a new show is now up with a mix of classic and retro-soul. As always, I hope you dig it.
