Music Remyx 02 features me, Anji Bee, chatting about the Chillin’ with Lovespirals podcast and our current PLP remix contest, as well as the song being remixed, “This Truth.” This new weekly music podcast was created by Mike Willis of Mike’s Hotdish and Jimi Lee of Indie Radio Chattanooga to highlight some of the best music shows and podsafe bands on the podosphere.

PodfinderUK Interviews Anji Bee

The PodfinderUK blog posted a Mini-Interview with The Chillcast’s Anji Bee this week. Topics include the origin of both The Chillcast and Chillin’ with Lovespirals podcasts, my favorite podcasts and vidcasts, what I wanted to be when I was a child, the most “significant thing” to happen to me as a result of podcasting, and future plans for my shows. PodfinderUK is a great little “best of” style vidcast starring Josephine Laurence presenting an eclectic mix of vidcast and podcast clips from all over the podosphere.

Anji Bee is the soft, sultry, sexy voice of the Chillcast, and one half of the Lovespirals.

Lovespirals ‘Long Way From Home’ Reviews

Reviews are still popping up of Lovespirals recent album, Long Way From Home, in partial thanks to the efforts of Ariel PR who helped to push the album when it was released this past October 23rd.

Jason Moore of Opus writes:

Ultimately, Lum and Bee are all about creating a mood with their music, a relaxed and blissed-out vibe that should be no stranger to fans of dreampop, chill-out electronica, and atmospheric pop. This is music for both late night sessions and noon daydreams, for both listening to at work when you need to escape the pressure of the day and at home when you simply need to unwind with a good book and a glass of wine.

Miles Klee said in Hot Indie News:

Bluesy slide guitar work sometimes shades over into Santana-like finger-meandering, and vocalist Anji Bee’s layered voice paints bright glaze over already dreamy arrangements. It’s as though the glancing disaffection of 80’s and 90’s dream-poppers has been filtered through an AM radio, a mutation that works by dint of sounding completely natural on an evolutionary view.

From the Green Arrow Radio blog:

More than melancholic music, there is a sense that they traveled with you on similar & familiar roads with the radio tuned to the same left of the dial station in the middle of wherever. After nearly a decade of artistic collaboration between singer/songwriter, Anji Bee, & multi instrumentalist & producer, Ryan Lum, it is no wonder that they have managed to put together an album of answers to questions yet asked with a subtle sultry sense of sound security.

The Celebrity Cafe‘s Ray Anderson mused:

Empty and sad, but of full of emotion, their album Long Way from Home is medicine for those that dig the alternative. How can you take a gut-wrenching classic like “Motherless Child” and make it sadder? Let the “Lovespirals” get a hold of it. It’s easy to fall into the loose, country-tinged groove of “Caught in a Groove” and let your soul be taken for a ride. By the time the “upbeat” “Lovelight” comes on, you won’t mind being “A Long Way from Home,” and I think you’ll want to stay there.

Have you read or written a great review of Lovespirals? Then post a link here, by all means!

Chillcast #102: NIU Support Collabocast

This week I present a very special extended collabocast edition of The Chillcast with the help of my 16 of my fellow music podcasters. This is by far the biggest podcast project I’ve put together to date and I am really proud of how well it turned out. This episode was inspired by an email from my listener, Nik, from Northern Illinois University. I’ll explain more in the show intro… Its been a very intense year for many of us and I really appreciate the outpouring of love and support from everyone that I’ve received and wanted to share some of that love with Nik and his friends, as well as Tony Pucci and his family, and many others who I’ve spoken with privately in recent weeks but won’t call out by name… Thank you so very much to all of the podcasters and bands who participated, and if you didn’t get a chance to collaborate this time around, don’t worry, this won’t be the last collabocast I do! One last note, this episode is a bit of a cross between the normal Chillcast fare and the sound of my old Unwind podcast, if you’ve ever checked that out. Enjoy!
