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…

I continue to mix it up here on The Chillcast with a bit of electronica, indie rock, dub, and soul – and all of the bands are new to the show, too, which is kinda cool. No theme this week, just some really tasty tracks. This is going up early so I’m free to party on Superbowl Sunday, hee hee hee!
OK, so this is actually episode 59 counting all the “specials” that I neglected to number… You’ll notice that I give everything an episode number now, which is a positive change. And speaking of change, you’ll notice that’s our theme for the big 5-0 show!
Julien Smith and I were reunited this week for another off-the-cuff conversation via Skype. We chat about anything and everything including the effects of podcast celebrity, avoiding parenthood, Julien’s Listen To Your Kids podcast, Homeless Nation, my Chillin’ with Anji Bee vidcast, podcast conferences and fanboy-dom, women podcasters, the podcast hype game, the importance of change, and more. I’m numbering this episode 49, just FYI…
Warning:Julien has a potty-mouth. Warning 2:This episode is an hour long.

Macromantics “Scorch” from Moments In Movement (2007)
A special half hour feature on Paul & Price, winners of the 2007 Independent Music Awards “Best Album of the Year” and “Best Song of the Year” in the Electronica/Dance category. I preview music from their award winning new CD, Sounds Like Sex 2, as well as tracks from their past releases and remix projects, while chatting with Jonathan Paul and Damir Price about their career.
Just thought I’d make a quick post to remind everyone that The Chillcast will be delayed 1 day this week in order to sync up the Sirius listeners with the podcast listeners for my special Paul & Price feature and CD giveaway contest. Please check back on Tuesday January 23rd !
The recent below-freezing temperatures of So Cal have given a whole new meaning to “chillout” over here at The Chillcast! Brrr… Let’s warm up with some hot music!
Snuck out to the see the sunset just after recording the show and boy was it nice… Had the Becket & Taylor song totally stuck in my head! When I got back I saw that my favorite podcaster had just launched a brand new podcast/project called Listen to Your Kids; you go Jules! Anyway, I’d describe the mood of this episode as decidedly upbeat. I’m really digging the new year.
Rather than simply type up my Top 20 podsafe picks for 2006, I figured I’d put together a special episode of The Chillcast so you can hear them yourself! It was actually pretty difficult to keep the list to just 20, I have to admit. The quality of podsafe music just keeps increasing as the weeks and months go by, and I’m sure there’s still more great tracks from 2006 left for me to discover in coming episodes. I’m definitely looking forward to the new crop of podsafe tracks of 2007!

I’m starting off the New Year with a splendid mix of sensual world beat, jazzy downtempo, and upbeat electronica tracks. Here’s to an amazing 2007 for all of us, listeners, musicians, and podcasters alike! Here’s the Tara Meditation I mention in the show…
