As promised, here is a special edition of The Chillcast to tide you over. This time around it’s a spotlight on my various musical collaborations outside of Lovespirals over the past decade. I went through my archives and dug up one song per year from the various bands I have lent my vocals and lyrics to, which is actually quite a bit more than is shared here. I hope you dig this glimpse into my personal history.
Lovespirals’ long out-of-print 2000 EP, Ecstatic, featuring our very first recordings together, has been remastered and is now available digitally on Amie Street. This collection of jazzstep drum ‘n’ bass and downtempo club mixes includes guest musicians, Doron Orenstein and Gabriel D. Vine, of Monkey Bars, and photography by Susan Jennings.
For you weekend chillin’ I present a moody mix of tunes with some upbeat instant classics and another great CD giveaway contest from What About Music. Thanks to Lucy at Elemental for hooking me up with Blue Note/Narada Jazz for Down to the Bone’s new CD!

Please nominate The Chillcast with Anji Bee in the Podsafe Music category for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards 2007. Sure, my buddy C.C. Chapman may very well win again this year, but I’d love to just be in the running! Nominations close July 15th, so act fast or forever hold your peace.
Ryan and I guest hosted Christopher Penn’s Student Loan Radio CoverCast #2 this weekend, and no — we didn’t talk about financial aid! The band were given the opportunity to share recordings of songs written by John Denver, America, and Pink Floyd, due to Financial Aid Podcast‘s recent acquisition of an ASCAP/BMI podcasting license. Woo hoo! Check it out, and if you enjoy it, please go comment on Chris’s blog to let him know!
Gotta jam packed episode, chock full o’ goodies! CD giveaway contest winners are announced, a listener request, and more brand new podsafe chillout music – including one of my own!
The Chillcast is currently listed on the front page of the Radio Times Downloads listings page, along with a lovely little review that’s quite similar to one from David McCandless’ Good Podcast Guide review. Must say that I love being situated directly next to the Blair Archive!
