I contributed a story to Laurence Simon’s 100 Word Story Weekly Challenge #86 – Snow. Check out the story in audio format on the podcast, read by yours truly, or read the text in the shownotes. Other participants include Guy David of the Night Guy Electronica Podcast, Yxes of the Podmafia Podcast, and 7 others. Its a fun listen, and you get to hear Mister Crap tease me, rather mercilessly. 😛
This week’s mix of warm and wonderful chillout music from Mexico, Cuba, and Brazil will bring a little summer sunshine to brighten your winter doldrums!
The Pod 5 guys had Ryan and I on as special guests this week, along with Matthew Ebel and my fellow ShowGirl, Share Ross, for a discussion of the future of the recording industry. Topics include CDs vs Mp3s, major vs indie labels vs self-released, Radiohead scaring the music industry, and much more fun and madness!
I gave my first talk in Second Life tonight for the monthly Blogger & Podcaster Magazine meetup. The crowd was quite warm and receptive, asking questions after my general talk about the lifepath that led to me being a podcaster. I was pretty nervous, I have to admit, and I think what surprised them most was my admission that I am sick of hearing myself talk after so much time spent promoting the new Lovespirals album. 😛
This week I announce the winners of the Fancey Schmancey CD Contest and share one of their older tracks, and plenty of new tunes in a variety of styles including Downtempo, World, NuSoul, and Indie Pop. All perfect for your chillout enjoyment!
