Reluctantly, I have returned from my trip through Napa Valley and up to Humboldt County. I vowed to stay off the Internet and I can’t say I missed it much… Not that I didn’t miss all my friends on Twitter etc but it was nice to just get out and see a part of California that I’ve never been to before, to imagine living somewhere else with different scenery, different folks, and a different way of life. I’m sitting here drinking some dark roasted organic coffee from the North Coast Co-op, getting my thing together for this weekend’s Chillcast, and thought I’d share a few photos from my trip with ya’ll on my Flickr account. Enjoy!
No doubt many of you reading this have gotten slammed by invites from a new site called Quechup, possibly even from me. I’m not even going to link to this evil viral spam factory… Hopefully it isn’t too late for you to delete and ignore these requests. Read more from CC Chapman and P-Dub about this 2.0 scandal. Whatever you do, don’t join Quechup!
Just want to send some warm birthday wishes Ryan’s way today. Wind and waves willing, he will be out surfing all day, and taking it easy. But you could surprise him with an email over on lovespirals.com!
I like this solo shot taken during a recent photoshoot with Gregory Aune for the upcoming new Lovespirals album. I’ve been using it as an avatar, so I thought I’d share the photo. We’re still pouring over the various band pix trying to narrow down the cover shot. With so many nice photos from both Greg and Elena, it’s pretty tough…
Just got back from the Bucket’s 1920’s themed party in Second Life. I won the costume contest. What costume? I dress like this all the time! Heh. I suspect it was my sexy accessory, Miss Chel Pixie…
We were inspired by the sexy Duran Duran video, “The Chauffeur.”
The Chillcast presents the best new podsafe music, hosted by "the sexiest voice in podcasting," Anji Bee of Lovespirals. Chill out to a smooth mix of electronica, jazz, soul, and world music each week - plus special interview features, video editions, extended DJ mixes, and monthly CD contests!
"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry of Daily Source Code
"Anji's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet voice... I remember the first time I ever heard her, way back in the day, I said she could read me a Chinese menu or the phone book and I would be all happy!"
-- C.C. Chapman of Accident Hash
"Anji's voice wouldn't be out of place in a smoky jazz or blues bar somewhere down in a dimly lit cellar. Sultry with a voice like syrupy silky satin with a marshmallow middle and a honey topping."
-- Most Recognizable Voices in Podcasting, Sept. 2007
"Cosiness abounds as the silken voiced Anji Bee - lead singer of chillout band Lovespirals - pours a cocktail of mellow dance music. Mmm..."
-- Radio Times, July 2007
"If you're looking for a different brand of 'grown and sexy' in the podcast world, check out Anji Bee. This young lady is bringing it - from production, to her voice, to the music selection - she is doing her thazizzle!"
-- Fave of Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Anji Bee, a musician and former radio DJ, gives "stage" to artists who might not otherwise be discovered. Bee's podcast exposes me to independent artists I've never heard of, and subscribing to it eliminates the need to forage for new music."
- La Shawn Barber's Corner
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith of In Over Your Head
"I just love the tunes Anji Bee selects and her comments on them. I no longer have to search for music to be creative; I just susbcribe to The Chillcast."
-- Karen of Rumor Girls
"Like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside, it all adds up to an essential weekly download."
-- Good Podcast Guide, Nov 2006
"If you're in the mood for chillout music, this should be your first stop. Her voice alone is the perfect complement for a long drive or any escape from the hectic rush of everday life. You're gonna love it."
-- DJ Come of Age, Nov 2007
