The show name has changed, but its the same ole Anji Bee you’ve come to know and love! This week I share a gift from Joe of Solipsistic Nation, admit my Unwind withdrawals, plan my bordello bedroom scheme, laugh about some feedback from Ed Roberts made while UStreamin’ with Matthew Ebel, and thank Chel Pixie for launching the Ning Anji Bee Fansite. Please remember to give the link love when you help promote me, m’kay?
While Karla and Frank are away on vacation, Anji steps in to keep Karen company via Skype on a special episode of Rumor Girls Uncut. Karen gets the scoop from Anji about her most recent music podcast, Unwind, singing for Lovespirals, future podcasting plans, her bohemian lifestyle near the beach, and much more…
I’m back by popular demand! This week I share my favorite munchies, a fan surprise, my new hairdo (and it’s attendant boo boos…), more Lovespirals updates, and plenty of self-doubts brought on by chatting with the sage Chris Penn and feeling generally overwhelmed by the need to market myself better. Let me know what you think about the new Chillcast plan, OK? And holla back if you’re down for my street team!
Hope all my American listeners are enjoying their 3 day weekend. Of course, I didn’t take the day off, gotta get The Chillcast (and Unwind) out to ya! Luckily, I love my job… I’ve got some special treats this week, too, featuring a host of lovely female vocalists. Oh - me included!
Got a set of all new releases for ya this week! I’m super stoked to bring you brand new Paul & Price and Sunburn in Cyprus, both sent to me by the bands, plus some great finds from Promonet. Oh, and btw, I’m almost done getting together my questions for Lol Tolhurst. Look forward to a special feature on Levinhurst soon!

"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
