Zack Daggy interviews Ryan Lum and Anji Bee of Lovespirals about their band history, musical process, brand new album, Long Way From Home, and more in a Shameless Plugcast Feature. He’s also doing an autographed CD contest – see his site for details!
Come join Anji Bee of Lovespirals on today’s RockMe. Session on Me.dium at 1pm PST! Anji will take Me.dium users on a tour of her various sites and projects online as she chats with participants. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t want to miss!
This week we explore a different kind of chillout music, focusing on American inspired dream pop, indie rock, and folk pop. Whatever you call the style, these tunes are moody, beautiful, and in some cases – pastoral. I hope you dig the slight change in vibe this show, and look forward to your comments!

Happy All Hallow’s Day, folks! Thought I’d share this awesome little track from Todd Fancey with ya tonight. I was with him earlier today on his me.dium Halloween RockMe Tour which was fun and crazy until Todd’s PC crashed, poor guy. Anyway, his music rocks, in a soft rock 70’s way. You’ll be hearing more on the Chillcast for sure! The next episode is shaping up to be chock full of Americana, dream pop, alt. country, indie rock and pop goodness – quite possibly with no electronica whatsoever. Shock!
At long last, it is my pleasure to present this Beth Hirsch interview special feature and contest! I adore her work and really love her new album, Wholehearted, so it was an honor to talk to her about her many and varied experiences in the music industry over the past decade. Join me as we explore Beth’s discography, sampling tracks from nearly all points of her career. Huge thanks to Beth for sharing her music with the Chillcast listeners! If you enjoy the feature, be sure to let her know.
