I’m the special guest on today’s Shameless Plugcast, being interviewed by show host, Zack Daggy, about Lovespirals, my vocal influences, podcasting, vidcasting, radio DJing, The Chillcast, Unwind, Lovely Ladies et al, plus I answer a listener question from Ed Ovett, of Ed’s Mixed Bag Podcast. This is one of my more personal interviews I think; good job, Zack!
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?
Ryan and Anji talk about recent recordings, chat about their local movie revival house, discuss the updated Love Spirals Downwards website, rant about Wikipedia, announce the winners of last episode’s Blisscent 1 CD giveaway contest, share fan email regarding the best way to buy music to support bands — as well as Lovespirals’ view of Pandora, iLike and Last.FM — and share the theme song for Anji’s new podcast, Lovely Ladies, written by Lovespirals and Beauty’s Confusion.
As mentioned in the podcast, here are past episodes including Pandora:
Looks like the vidcast is staying weekly! This week I freak out at the optometrist and gross out on the discovery of the source of the “stinky cat box smell” I mentioned last week. I also talk about my recent collaboration with Moosefrog, working on the Lovespirals and Love Spirals Downwards websites, my new Lovely Ladies music podcast, working with The Lounge King on Mix96, stealing Rogue and Ronnoc from Rumor Girls, and more.
The Chillcast presents the best new podsafe music, hosted by "the sexiest voice in podcasting," Anji Bee of Lovespirals. Chill out to a smooth mix of electronica, jazz, soul, and world music each week - plus special interview features, video editions, extended DJ mixes, and CD contests. Every week Anji picks a Featured Artist free mp3 download too!
"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
