This week I finally announce the winners of the Paul & Price CD giveaway contest – woo hoo! Plus I announce my new PodShow podcast — ooh ahhh… I also share my recent collaboration with Moosefrog, and play a bunch of cool songs with a slight Worldbeat and Hip Hop bent. Good times!
Ryan and Anji talk about recent recordings, chat about their local movie revival house, discuss the updated Love Spirals Downwards website, rant about Wikipedia, announce the winners of last episode’s Blisscent 1 CD giveaway contest, share fan email regarding the best way to buy music to support bands — as well as Lovespirals’ view of Pandora, iLike and Last.FM — and share the theme song for Anji’s new podcast, Lovely Ladies, written by Lovespirals and Beauty’s Confusion.
A bit late, but I’ve been a busy girl, as you shall hear/see! This is the premier of my new glasses, sorry about the glare… I spill the beans on my big new podcast project (launching next week!), lament the recent status of my Thursday date, rip Factory Girl a new one – particularly the whole Edie and Bob Dylan “love” thing (scroll down a bit…) – and proclaim, “I am nerd!”
Here’s that 3rd episode I mentioned last week… I am launching a brand new project on March 5th, so that may have some affect on whether Lovely Ladies happens weekly or fortnightly, but I’m having a lot of fun, so I’m sure I’ll keep doing them pretty regularly. Haven’t selected an exact drop day (ie Tuesdays, Thursdays et al) so just keep checking back for more!

You could say that this week’s Chillcast is extra-chill. I bring you a melancholy set of dreamy downbeat tunes punctuated by the uplifting new single by San Francisco band, Karmacoda, who will be the subject of my next special band feature. Watch for that in March!
Looks like the vidcast is staying weekly! This week I freak out at the optometrist and gross out on the discovery of the source of the “stinky cat box smell” I mentioned last week. I also talk about my recent collaboration with Moosefrog, working on the Lovespirals and Love Spirals Downwards websites, my new Lovely Ladies music podcast, working with The Lounge King on Mix96, stealing Rogue and Ronnoc from Rumor Girls, and more.

Wow! That was quick! One of the two Moosefrog songs I recorded vocals for two weeks ago has just won 2nd place in the Listening Music category at Icons 2007, a demoscene and new media event held in Finland this past weekend. Lo-Kiwi has made this demo mix available for download now.
Thanks for all the comment love on the first episode everybody! Hope you enjoy this selection of dreamy, melancholic, wistful indie pop and folk rock just as much. I know I said I was going to do this podcast fortnightly, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: I already put together the 3rd episode’s playlist! Hey, do me a favor and spread the word to all your music loving friends, ok?
Chock full of recent releases, this week’s Chillcast features an eclectic mix of both new and returning artists. Be sure to take a peek for the next episode of Lovely Ladies this week, too. I found so many good songs this week that I had to share the love on both shows! BTW, not quite as sunny today as yesterday. Knew it was too good to last…
Electronic music podcast, solipsisticNATION, just released this awesome special collaborative episode based on the Surrealist technique known as Exquisite Corpse. You guys know I love 20’s-30’s literature and lifestyle, particularly French, so of course I was quite excited to participate! Turns out my pals Jules and Jason participated, too. Bonus! Check out the full shownotes on Joe’s site — solipsisticnation.com.
