DJ's Distractions

Tonight On The South Side ~ 7-10pm | Elmore James & Bobby "Blue" Bland

Elmore James | Bobby "Blue" BlandTonight on The South Side, birthday tributes to 2 great vocalists who helped define very different styles of blues.

Elmore James never gave up his acoustic guitar when he came to Chicago from the Delta...he put a pickup on it and played an intense style of slide guitar to go along with a vocal attack that's instantly recognizable.

Bobby Bland helped create an urban, big band sound that used Gospel and Rhythm & Blues to create a string of classic Soul/Blues hits in the 60's & 70's. Tune in for generous helpings of each, along with new releases and your requests.

This American Leaf

Whether you know it or not, everyone on the north coast is affected by marijuana.

Weed has played a major role in Humboldt's culture, politics, social structure and economy, and it's emerging from the subculture faster than ever before.  

We're excited to launch a long-term series called "The Humboldt Chronicles: Dispatches from Marijuana Country."

It's hosted by SoHum journalist Kym Kemp and debuts on KHUM at 6pm on Thursday, February 2nd.

The first episode explores the macroeconomics of marijuana in Humboldt County. As one business owner told us, we're all in the marijuana business whether we like it or not.

All This Cute Could Be Yours

From our friends at Myrtle Avenue Vet center:

Bugsy is a six year old spayed female terrier mix who weighs about 15 pounds. She is a very loving and well trained little girl, but was diagnosed with diabetes in early December and needs insulin injections twice a day.

Bugsy's owner was unable to provide her with the long term medical care she needs, and she is currently looking for a new family. Bugsy would do best in a home where she is the only dog, but she seems to do well with cats.

She is a mellow girl who loves to cuddle and go for walks. Bugsy has been staying with our family for about 3 weeks and it's time to find her a forever home.

She has been doing very well with her insulin treatment and is ready to start a new life! If you would like to learn more about or meet this wonderful girl please contact Myrtle Avenue Veterinary Hospital at 443-8686 or call Sara at 496-0270.

Massive Facebook chatter suggests ORE 255 near Brookings is the affected road, but we’re unfamiliar with that turf. Any local intel would be appreciated.

Stay up on Oregon road conditions here.  

As for the Southern Humboldt 101 slide site, KHUM callers are reporting smooth sailing despite one northbound lane closed. 

CalTrans is currently reporting no delays or closures on 299, 36, or 101.Check their latest reports.

Developing storm stories will be covered in greater detail over at the Lost Coast Outpost.
