Chillin’ with Anji Bee #20

Post-Valentine’s Day episode! I know, you probably thought I forgot about you guys, right? Nah. I’m back with more off the cuff observations and personal tidbits. In fact, this is probably one of the most revealing episodes yet. (No, CSB, I don’t show any cleavage…) I tell you about my Valentine’s Day, Monster’s stinky cat box, Coffee with Crayon, my weekly date, and The Painted Veil, as well as debate “am I sweet or not?”, reveal how I found time to podcast, and other probing issues. Ha!

My new show is bi-something…


I’m sitting here trying to figure out whether to announce my new podcast, Lovely Ladies, as “biweekly” or “bimonthly” to indicate that it will happen every other week. Looking up both words on the Apple dashboard dictionary is no help at all! Apparently, both words are ambiguous. Biweekly can mean either every other week or twice a week, and bimonthly can mean twice a month or every two months. Drats! Perhaps I should call it “fortnightly”?

In any case, please download my promo to play on your podcast :

The Chillcast with Anji Bee #52: All Ladies!

[audio:http://media.podshow.com/media/142/episodes/49655/thechillcast-49655-02-11-2007_pshow_56191.mp3]

This week’s show is dedicated to the majesty of the female voice. I’ve got a killer lineup including 3 songs sent to me on CD, which is always awesome! I prefer 320 aacs, so getting to rip music directly from the album makes me stoked. I’m also stoked to have a new sponsor, Folgers! Woo hoo — coffee and music are two of the best things in life. And flavored coffee and female vocal music makes life that much sweeter…

Anji sings on new Moosefrog release

Moosefrog After nearly a year of procrastination, I spent the past two days recording vocals for two new songs to be included on Moosefrog‘s upcoming 3rd release for Lo-Kiwi. If you haven’t heard of Lo-Kiwi, you should definitely check them out! They’re a commercial free Creative Commons label with a great roster of downtempo, electro, nu-jazz, and idm artists. This will be my first time working with Moosefrog, so I’m kinda excited to see how it all turns out. It’s been awhile since I’ve done an online musical collaboration.

“En la Oscuridad” Lyrics

“En la Oscuridad” Moosefrog Adrift (2007)

Hay tantos
Motivos
Porqué le amo
Cómo puedo decirles todos

Su risa
Sus ojos
Sus brazos
Que me sostiene apretado

Déjame contarlos otra vez…

Mi amor, mi amor, mi amor
Te quiero

— by Anji Bee (BMI)

“New Life” Lyrics

“New Life” Moosefrog Adrift (2007)

Putting one foot in front of the other
Plodding along like a mule
Keeping my nose to the grindstone
Seems there’s nothing else to do

But I’m glad, oh so glad
That I have you
to help me through

Keep on pushing baby
Keep on reaching higher
Someday you will achieve your goal
Someday comes sooner than you’d ever know

Life shouldn’t be so hard you say
Life is for living, love is for giving
Still we just struggle on
What else can we do

But I’m glad, oh so glad
That I have you
to help me through

Chillin’ with Anji Bee #19

Might as well face it, I’m addicted to podcasting! This week I unveil plans for a new music podcast, as well as talk in depth about my podcasting methods and motivations. I also share some special video from my birthday trip to Disneyland, weigh in on the Snickers Superbowl Commercial furor, and debate Brad Pitt VS Johnny Depp.

Superbowl Sunday

Anji at Stuporbowl
Yesterday I attended Stuporbowl 2007, a very fun party that’s become a tradition with the B-Siders. Last year it didn’t happen because the bowling alley they’d been having it at for years was closed down, but this year a few kind folks put together a new venue that was bigger and better, near LAX. The football is really just an excuse to get together, the DJs, dancing, theme costumes and bowling take center stage. The partying was definitely a lot more low-key than when I first started going in the 90’s, but it was great to catch up with some folks I hadn’t seen in ages! Almost forgot — it was so crazy to see Kevin Rose in the GoDaddy commerical!!! He is so cute…
