I’m back with an amazing mix of Podsafe Music Network artists designed to soothe your weary soul. This episode is rich with dreamy vocals and wistful melodies, guaranteed to help you unwind.
First off, don’t ask me why it’s 7 songs and not 5 songs or 10 songs. All I know is that sexy Mr. Smithtagged me and since I do nothing but listen to music all day I can come up with 7 songs standing on my head. Opinion varies on whether these should be podsafe, free downloads, recent releases etc… I’m kinda going by what iTunes says I’ve been playing the past few weeks (besides the Lovespirals mixes from the CD we’re working on…) For your perusal:
Ooh, Anji in the daylight! Topics include superfans, to wishlist or not, taxes suck, my couch is thrashed, Comp USA is going down, Jamo rocks, decaying antique shoes smell bad, “Pop Goes My Heart” made Music and Lyrics worth seeing, what am I doing and why do you watch this, interviewing Causeway and Karmacoda — and who knows what else?
Welcome to the premier episode of Unwind, the show that’s guaranteed to melt away the stress of your day! I’ve got a relaxing mix of sweet pop, acoustic rock, and smooth jazz by some of the best artists on the Podsafe Music Network all lined up for your listening pleasure. So just lay back, close your eyes, and prepare to unwind…
I have been super wrapped up in the launch of a brand new podcast for PodShow called Unwind. It’s my first really big time assignment, so I’m pretty excited! The best way to describe Unwind would be “Chiller than The Chillcast,” if you can imagine that! I created a whole new library of music from the Podsafe Music Network focusing on mellow pop, folk rock, and smooth jazz which I find to be quintessentially relaxing. The first episode will go up this Tuesday, March 13th. If you like, you can go ahead and subscribe now, add yourself as a fan, write a comment, check out the promo, and stuff like that. The PodShow promotional push will begin probably after the 2nd or 3rd episode goes live.
Decided to share this episode with the Chillcast listeners, as well, so a few of you may get this twice. Sorry about that! You know, for months I debated whether it was better to do Chillcast twice a week or start a new show, and I’m still not entirely sure. Lovely Ladies is more on the rock and folk tip, but its generally still pretty “chill”. Anyway, let me know what you think! This episode includes a great guest podcaster spot from Mike O’Hara.

"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
