Download Chillcast Chat with Matthew Ebel MP3

I’ve been wanting to do some more conversational Skype podcasts like the two I did with Julien Smith (Chillcast/In Over Your Head Special and Chillcast/In Over Your Head Special #2). Turned out that fellow podsafe musician and podcaster, Matthew Ebel, had some time to kill this week while chillin’ in Boston, so we thought it’d be fun to hook up for an informal chat about our common interests - music and podcasting, as well as everything that goes along with doing those things full time. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it, and I look forward to your feedback on the idea of me doing Skypecasts more regularly. (BTW, I sure was tempted to call this the High Chill Special…)

Warning: a teensy bit of naughty language sneaks in here and there…

Playlist:

1. “Sally Went Down” Matthew Ebel Filling the Pages (2001)
   
2. “Impatience” Matthew Ebel Beer & Coffee (2005)

Checked out CocaCola’s Virtual Thirst Pavilion at the Crayonville Amphitheatre in Second Life. I love the vintage truck display. Heard Matthew Ebel’s classic podsafe track, “Drive Away,” while sitting inside the truck - good call! Britney, Lynette, and CC himself all showed up while I was there, which was cool. Got some pix and threw them up on Flickr. CC got some nice shots, as well. I asked him if there will be a party in the pavilion. With all the bubbly Coke cans, it would be quite festive!

I think you can watch the sun go down behind me this week as I chat about Twitter, podcaster crushes, Matthew Ebel, Second Life, taxes, my noisy neighbor, my new superfan, breaking my Unwind legend, Lovespirals news, PodCruise, PME, and live performance nerves. OH don’t forget to Bum Rush the Charts 3/22/2007 - whenever that is wherever you are watching this!

Hung out with Britney and The Diva last night at the Matthew Ebel - aka “Hali Heron” - show at the Hummingbird in Second Life. Wow! He really gives it his all when he performs! It’s crazy to be watching a giant bird in a white tux make that music. He’s completely charming in between songs, too, always mentioning the tippers by name and responding to chat threads. Total pro, all the way. I think he’ll definitely be featured on the next Unwind. Oh, check out my new SL glasses! They look just like my RL glasses.

This was just too fun! Saw Britney’s chatter on Twitter about meeting up with TheDiva, Lynnete, and Madison at Crayon and couldn’t resist popping in! Seriously, I am leaving my computer and the house for awhile today. Now!
