The Machine Has (A) Heart

3 Comments

So I mentioned on The Chillcast a few episodes back that I met my favorite Laker, Sasha Vujacic. The guy is super nice, very kind to fans, and honestly seems like a regular guy, albeit a very attractive regular guy. Anyway, I’ve been following his career the past few years and have always been impressed by his passion for the game and his devotion to the Lakers. He obviously loves playing for them, not only from his actions on court, but from the things he says in interviews. This past summer, his contract was up for renewal and it was pretty touch and go there for a minute as to whether or not he would be back with the Lakers. I was stoked when they worked it out and he ended up with a 3 year contract. Then some rumors popped up last month about possibly trading Sasha… Yikes! And the other night Phil Jackson accused Sasha (“The Machine”) of having “no brain.” Wow! Low blow… I decided I should finally get off my ass and go down to Staples Center — where I haven’t attended a game since it first opened — to see them play the Heat, another pretty amazing franchise. I got killer seats right next to the tunnel leading to the locker room, with a great view of the Lakers’ bench, and a great view of the basket. And… I made a little sign to give Sasha some support. Yes, I felt like a big dork, but what the hell? I had more fun watching that game than I can remember having in months. What a blast!!! Oh, the really crazy thing about all this is that it turns out poor Sasha was having back spasms during the game, which goes to show how much heart he really has. I hope he feels well soon so he can meet up with the team for the San Antonio game Wednesday night.

Chillcast Top 20 Podsafe Songs of 2008

7 Comments

I had a lotta fun listening back to all the great podsafe songs that were released last year. So many talented artists made their music available via the Podsafe Music Network and IODA Promonet, which is a beautiful thing… Of course, I’m lucky enough to have many more songs and albums sent to me for what we call “special permissions,” but my tradition is to celebrate the music that was made legal for any and all podcasters to use in their shows. At a time when bloggers are proclaiming podcasting as a dead medium, I think it is especially important for us to appreciate the increasing growth of high quality podsafe music and to support the artists who support the art form of podcasting. Being both an indie artist and podcaster, I can see and experience that wonderful symbiotic relationship from a unique perspecitve, and let me say that I do not think podcasting is dead by a longshot. But hey — its 2009, let’s get this party started!

At the behest of Robert Fischer, Ryan and I sat down for a rather long wrap up show for the end of 2008. Lovespirals discuss their use of Twitter, Ryan’s continued tone quest including the Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser, Fulltone Mini Deja and Voo Doo Lab Micro Vibe pedals, the Nash Guitar “Do Not Play” list, favorite Will Ferrell films, me liking Paul Rudd, David Lynch, reliced guitars (see Jonathan Wilson AKA Greenwich Village Custom Guitars, see John Mayer’s Fender Custom Shop guitar), the persuit of perfection, our love of BB King and Robert Cray‘s tone, working on a new song (“Feel So Good”) with old lyrics, airplay of “This Truth” remixes by Damien.S and The Grooveblaster, the new Anji Bee Ringtone Set on MacMost, a recent Chandeen interview on Michael Floyd’s site, and more.

Free Anji Bee Ringtone Set From MacMost

Leave a comment

Just in time for the holidays; the gift of free Anji Bee ringtones! I met up with MacMost vidcast host, producer and blogger, Gary Rosenzweig, at the New Media Expo earlier this year and we got to talking about music. I was tickled when he said he’d like to feature me as the first in a series of podsafe musicians for his popular MacMost Ringtone collection.

Los Angeles artist Anji Bee, known for her smooth vocals and music podcasts, can now be heard whenever someone calls you on your iPhone. She is featured on the latest set of ringtones from MacMost.com, the Mac news, tutorial and iPhone content Web site.

MacMost began providing free iPhone ringtones earlier in 2008 as an alternative to pay-per-song downloads at the iTunes music store or illegal music downloads elsewhere. There are now 15 sets of ringtones in the MacMost collection. They feature everything from holiday sounds to short, original musical creations.

“One of the ideas we had for the free ringtones was to use them to promote artists,” said Rosenzweig. “We knew Anji Bee from her work as a podcaster and thought it would be perfect to begin with her.”

The Anji Bee Ringtone Set features sections of Anji’s work with various other artists, as well as her podcast theme and vocal recorded specifically for the ringtone set.

It was fun creating loops of songs from my musical catalog in various electronica genres. I made a mix of ambient vocal passages, lyrical snippets, and spoken word from my collaborations with Bitstream Dream, Chukimai, Kou Chou Ching, The Grooveblaster, Lovespirals, Moosefrog, Snoblind, and War-N Harrison (of Hungry Lucy). Hope you’ll find something ya’ll dig!
