I get excited about the relaunch of PodShow+ and the possibility of getting more involved with vidcasting, despite my lo-fi set up and little insecurities. Watch for some surprise historical video at the outro! Oh yeah, here’s a link to the YouTube video I mentioned…

I participated in the democratic process today by getting off my ass and voting. Yay, me! I was considering playing the Biddies “Cast that Ballot” on The Chillcast this week, but my listener base is so throughly international that I decided against it. But I hope any Americans reading this did their bit today, too!

Get ready for a pretty sexy episode… Thanks to Macedonia for pointing out some fabulous mainstream artist tracks on the PodShow Music Network this week! By the way, keep your eyes peeled for the unveiling this week of the brand new PodShow+ site with the PMN integrated in – should be super cool!

In another personal episode, Anji muses over the issue of identity as she creates her anjibee.com website. Viewers will be tickled to hear more about her past navigating the various movements of the Los Angeles music scene. OK, yes, this is Anji writing in third person, so sue me/her!

Went down to Bolsa Chica again, and took some photos of the recently completed inlet, which I believe is the final phase of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Restoration Project. I’m so happy that the developers who were trying to fill in and build on the wetlands were stopped, and not only that, but that the wetlands are now in the process of recovering some of their former glory. Its only been a few weeks since the creation of the inlet, but already the water is cleaner and the birds more abundant. It’s wonderful to see!
Just thought I’d mention that Bazooka Joe asked me to share a Halloween memory for his special Small World Podcast Halloween Tales episode. Being very spur of the moment, I tell a slightly non-sequitur story about my last year of trick-or-treating.
In this fun Halloween episode the band chat about the evils of CRT monitors and B.O. iBooks, their scary LA Day of the Dead trip to visit Joyce Burstein where Ryan discovers the magic of Huichol yarn paintings, plus band news, listener feedback and more!

Holy crap! I’m owed money that I didn’t even know about. Good thing Sam just forwarded me this NY Times story about Soundexchange. I called them just now and determined that they do not have Lovespirals listed, and thus I would have missed out on performance royalties for plays on Pandora, Rhapsody and many other sites and services that I know my music is included on. Since I get checks from BMI, I thought I was covered, but apparently there’s more than one company gathering my money up for me. Sheesh there’s a lot to keep track of when you’re an indie artist!

Amazing how there’s always wonderful new artists to discover on the Internet, isn’t it? I’ve got 5 new folks to introduce to you, plus a collaboration between myself and a returning Chillcast artist. Sometimes I feel bad that I don’t bring back artists sooner; it’s not coz I don’t love ’em, it’s just that there’s so many to choose from! If you’re one of these neglected artists, just gimme a friendly nudge via email, OK?

After 3 years of flaking out, I finally went to visit Joyce for her epitaph project during the LA Day of the Dead festivities last night. She was off the main path from all of the big altars in a small grove of young trees that she hung lanterns from. Ryan and I offered to get her some food from one of the stalls and she was ecstatic when we brought back tamales with mole. I had a frijole e queso pupusa, myself. Joey and Rob seemed a bit reluctant to eat from the stalls. But we had just been enjoying some bread, cheese, marcona almonds and wine at his place… which reminds me of Lou. Mmm… we walked right by it to get to Rob’s and boy was it tempting!
