I’m very excited to see Jose Gonzalez tonight at the OC Performing Arts Center. It will be my second time this year. (more…)

OK, I swear I am not turning Emo on you guys, I'm just being honest here. I have more bad news, but I tried to temper it with good news, as well. I'm all about taking the middle path if at all possible. Some topics covered include my grandparents, participating in a local historic architecture photo project, Auntie Margaret's funeral, Pod 5 Idol, Tibet and tibetaid.org, Anji guesting on the new Chandeen album Teenage Poetry, upcoming Chillcast and Chillcast Video news, my recent health problems, and how seeing Jose Gonzalez live at The Wiltern raised my spirits. The theme song today is a really really old song I made in Acid that I call "So Good." I thought I'd mix it up, why not?

Feeling a bit under the weather, but wanted to get a show out for ya, anyway… Got some great tracks with a bit of an electropop theme overall. Hope all my American listeners enjoyed their holiday and that everyone dug the special DJ mix episode last week!

Download Chillcast Top 20 Podsafe Tracks of 2006 (mp3)

Rather than simply type up my Top 20 podsafe picks for 2006, I figured I’d put together a special episode of The Chillcast so you can hear them yourself! It was actually pretty difficult to keep the list to just 20, I have to admit. The quality of podsafe music just keeps increasing as the weeks and months go by, and I’m sure there’s still more great tracks from 2006 left for me to discover in coming episodes. I’m definitely looking forward to the new crop of podsafe tracks of 2007!
