Music for a hazy day

http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hazards/gas/volgaspollution.php

Music for a hazy, voggy day in Hawaii.  Vog is the haze created from volcanic emissions and includes sulfur dioxide, among other components.  This is one of the unique features of living atop volcanic islands, though not one that most people especially like...

On a more cheerful note, I will be making an extremely rare appearance at our KTUH Mixer Party as a thank you to those who supported us during KTUH's Radiothon!  I'll be spinning tunes 5-6pm during the special pre-party for those who donated $100 or more.  Thank you again to all who helped support the Happyoblivion Show and KTUH!
