I’m back, safe and sound, from my roadtrip to Vegas for the New Media Expo. It was great to see CC and some of the folks I’d met at expos past and some that hadn’t been to the expo yet, like Cybster DJ, Dave of Dave’s Lounge and Ariel of Cyber PR. I was terrible about taking pics, but I do have a few up on Flickr. Ryan and I will be sure to do a new episode of Chillin’ with Lovespirals soon so we can share some tales of our trip!

This week I present a very special extended collabocast edition of The Chillcast with the help of my 16 of my fellow music podcasters. This is by far the biggest podcast project I’ve put together to date and I am really proud of how well it turned out. This episode was inspired by an email from my listener, Nik, from Northern Illinois University. I’ll explain more in the show intro… Its been a very intense year for many of us and I really appreciate the outpouring of love and support from everyone that I’ve received and wanted to share some of that love with Nik and his friends, as well as Tony Pucci and his family, and many others who I’ve spoken with privately in recent weeks but won’t call out by name… Thank you so very much to all of the podcasters and bands who participated, and if you didn’t get a chance to collaborate this time around, don’t worry, this won’t be the last collabocast I do! One last note, this episode is a bit of a cross between the normal Chillcast fare and the sound of my old Unwind podcast, if you’ve ever checked that out. Enjoy!

Download Accident Hash #255 For The Troops MP3

Talk about seminal music podcasts… The award winning PodShow podcast, Accident Hash turned 3 today and the show’s amazingly talented and sweet producer, C.C. Chapman, dedicated it the Troops. What a guy! Several podcasters — including Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, Mike Yusi, Christopher Penn and me — recorded special holiday messages for the Troops, which are featured in this show. In addition to tracks by podsafe artists Matthew Ebel, RaykoKRB, Black Lab, Chance and many others, this episode includes Lovespirals’ “Motherless Child.” C.C. was the very first podcaster to hear Long Way From Home and we’ve got a mutual love thing going on with that man. Congrats on 3 years, CC!

Lovespirals are featured on today’s Accident Hash. CC Chapman plays his favorite track from Long Way From Home, the album opener “Caught in the Groove.” He also announces our Second Life show on PodShow Island tomorrow night, which Accident Hash is co-presenting, despite the fact that CC is attending Podcamp Boston and won’t have good enough Internet connectivity to attend.

Having missed out on the Accident Mash jam, I present my own little a-cappella performance of the new Lovespirals podsafe single, “This Truth.” By the way, podcasters can grab the original recording for their shows from lovespirals.com/podsafe.
