Finishing up production on Rebecca & Chris' artist spotlight for next Tuesday’s Unwind, and it is sounding pretty cool. They sent me more tracks from their brand new album, Three Thousand Miles, and it’s really good stuff! I had no idea she was working on such electronica based stuff. This feature would have worked just as well on The Chillcast! She’s come a long way from the more traditional jazz and AOR sound of her first album. I like both sides of her music, though, and totally relate to wanting to try new things. My work with Lovespirals is the same way. Anyway, watch for this special feature on May 1st at unwind.podshow.com!
This just in! The duo will also hold a CD giveaway contest as part of the feature - woo hoo!
This episode features acoustic folk, rock, and pop with a haunted Americana feel. You’ll hear what I mean… Some really excellent offerings from some very fine voices lending a fantastic mood to the music.
Amidst the flurry of talk about Sirius and XM satellite merging, it has been announced that PodShow is no longer with Sirius. I only just joined Adam Curry’s PodShow lineup this January, so it isn’t as near and dear to my heart as it is to the core group, but it is still a bit disappointing. Honestly, I have no idea if anyone was really tuning in to the radio broadcast or not… As Julien Smith warned me, listeners never seem to email or comment on blogs, but as Marcus Couch pointed out to me, bands and labels seem to be impressed by the dual delivery system of the shows. And when you tell family or friends you’re “on Sirius” they seem to be impressed as well. So I guess I’ve basically lost some bragging points and some extra work. You may not have realized it, but even my show was edited a bit each week to fit the Sirius format and window. So now I can go back to a full 30 minute show if I like! There’s got be a silver lining to every cloud, right?

"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry, Daily Source Code
"Anji's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet voice... I remember the first time I ever heard her, way back in the day, I said she could read me a Chinese menu or the phone book and I would be all happy!"
-- C.C. Chapman, Accident Hash
"Anji's voice wouldn't be out of place in a smoky jazz or blues bar somewhere down in a dimly lit cellar. Sultry with a voice like syrupy silky satin with a marshmallow middle and a honey topping."
-- Podcast Junky UK, Most Recognizable Voices in Podcasting, Sept. 2007
"Cosiness abounds as the silken voiced Anji Bee - lead singer of chillout band Lovespirals - pours a cocktail of mellow dance music. Mmm..."
-- Radio Times, July 2007
"If you're looking for a different brand of 'grown and sexy' in the podcast world, check out Anji Bee. This young lady is bringing it - from production, to her voice, to the music selection - she is doing her thazizzle!"
-- Fave Nightmare, Cyberspace Soul Pick, Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith, In Over Your Head
"I just love the tunes Anji Bee selects and her comments on them. I no longer have to search for music to be creative; I just susbcribe to The Chillcast."
-- Karen, Rumor Girls
"Like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside, it all adds up to an essential weekly download."
-- David McCandless, Good Podcast Guide, Nov 2006
"If you're in the mood for chillout music , this should be your first stop. Her voice alone is the perfect complement for a long drive or any escape from the hectic rush of everday life. You're gonna love it."
-- DJ Come of Age, Nov 2007
