This week I’m pleased to present the new video for “Only Bitterness Remains” by my friends, Lovers and Poets. The Silverlake duo of singer/songwriter, Shannon Hurley, and her bassist husband, Ben Eisen, released their debut self-titled album late last year and have been promoting it with a series of shows in the Los Angeles area ever since. If you live in the area, be sure to check out one of their upcoming January shows at Taix Lounge (1/11/2012) or Osaka Hollywood (1/5/2012). The band are offering a limited-time free download of their chill cover of the Nick Lowe song, “Cruel To Be Kind,” on Lovers and Poets Soundcloud page. Be sure to grab it while you can!
So here we go with the annual Chillcast Holiday Mix! I had lots of great Christmas and winter-themed tracks to choose from this year, with a nice variety of moods and musical styles. From classic songs to original tunes, vocal pieces to instrumentals, I’ve got a pleasantly varied mix of holiday music you aren’t likely to hear elsewhere in the pod-o-sphere. And some of these tracks are free, to boot! This was produced DJ mix style, so you can listen without interruption at all your holiday gatherings. Happy Holidays!

I had to make this week’s episode all in one afternoon, but I think I really pulled it off! Luckily for me I received a number of tasty tracks in my inbox, and found quite a few other gems via Music Alley, IODA, and RCRD_LBL. Get ready for a sweet mix of vocal and instrumental downtempo, deep house, world beat and electropop songs in the classic Chillcast style. Laaaiiid baaaccck…. Lots of new artists to the show this week!
