ReGen Magazine is currently featuring Lovespirals front page with a great new interview by Matthew Johnson. Ryan and Anji discuss their musical influences, recording techniques, and how their music has evolved from Windblown Kiss to Long Way From Home. The band also talks about Love Spirals Downwards, the podsafe music movement, Second Life, the digital music revolution, Radiohead’s new album, and more.

In this special episode, we present our Second Life acoustic performance from Oct. 27th. This is the first live set in support of Long Way From Home, and the first Lovespirals Second Life performance. By the way, the folks from PodShow Island said we had 760 listeners on their audio streams in addition to the full house watching in-game, pretty crazy! Anyway, we hope you enjoy this stripped down set, recorded directly from our mixing board.

This week we explore a different kind of chillout music, focusing on American inspired dream pop, indie rock, and folk pop. Whatever you call the style, these tunes are moody, beautiful, and in some cases – pastoral. I hope you dig the slight change in vibe this show, and look forward to your comments!

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. 🙁

Ryan and I in photobooth at a friend’s wedding last week. Fun idea for a party. But why is the lens focused at midriff level? 😛
