This week I bring you the winner of the recent Melou CD contest — plus another great track from their album — along with a fine selection of songs by bands both new and old to the show. Plus I’ve got an awesome flashback track from my favorite era of music: the 70’s! Its a dedication, no less. What else? Oh, new sponsors to the show with money saving offers for you. Mevio is really pulling them in this summer! Its another fun filled 45 minute set designed both to chill you out and lift you up.
Just got a copy of the new Melou album and it is great. To celebrate, I’ve got a fantastic mix of “lovely ladies” tunes — all from 2008 — plus a Melou CD giveaway! This is the second 45 minute mix, and I think the extra tracks make it that much more fun. It sure is nice to get back to some vocal driven songs after last week… Oh, and for an extra special treat, stay tuned to the very end of the show for a bit of news directly from Kirsty Hawkshaw!
Melou’s fantastic sophomore album, Battery Park, is out now and you can get your hands on a free copy simply by posting a comment on this post, right here on anjibee.com! I will select a winner at random no sooner than 6/17/2008 - so get to it and good luck!
It is 98 degrees today in Southern California but I am keeping it cool on The Chillcast with a loungey mix of sultry sirens and smooth jazz. This is an extended 45 minute show for all of you who called out in need of more music for your work day! Oh, and I have another HOT contest, as well, so you are really in for a treat today.
5 Chillcast listeners will be randomly selected to win an advance copy of Luckiest Girl by sultry songstress, Rosey. Just email RoseyContest@mileshighproductions.com by June 1st. Good luck!
Ooh wee can you believe it? Another awesome CD contest! And from one of my favorite Chillcast artists, no less. This whole show is chock full of my favorite artists, so you are in for a real treat. Nothing but lovely lady vocals and chilled out vibes. Well, the last song is a real doozy actually and is guaranteed to get even Miss JennTaFur dancing! I also bring you the winning entry from my recent Lovespirals remix contest and the winners of the Shine CD contest.
The first 10 listeners to sign the guestbook at paulandprice.com will win a copy of the Paul & Price featuring Toddy Ivy EP, care of RedCola. Good luck!
Hard to believe 2007 is over! Tons of great podsafe music was released last year, making it tough to come up with just 20 of my favorite songs! As I mention on the podcast, I limited my selection to PODSAFE tracks from 2007 that were previously played on The Chillcast. There were many great special-permissions tracks I played as well, but I limited myself to songs that every podcaster can legally play on their show. If you dig the music, be sure to support the artists by buying their CDs or downloads. And feel free to comment on my selections on the blog!
An eclectic mix of moody tunes from CD sent in by bands, labels, and show listeners! Lots of lovely female vocals and one dreamy male vocal for contrast. PLUS a Ninja Tune Mix CD contest!

"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
