I put this podcast together last week while recovering from a flu that postponed my camping trip. Gotta say, this chillicious mix of tracks helped my spirits… Just so you know, I’m actually posting this show after having come back from my camping trip and I had a fantastic time so it’s all good. Thanks again for nominating me for a Podcast Award for Best Podsafe Music Podcast! If you have a moment, I would really appreciate your vote to win the Podcast Award. Oh, almost forgot - I’ve also got the winners of the Mr. Meeble contest this week!
This week’s musical guest is Mr. Meeble, from Phoenix, AZ. Band founder, Devin Fleenor, stars in this creative video for the song “I Fell Through,” from their debut indie album, Never Trust the Chinese. This video is available as a free download from Mr. Meeble’s MySpace page, where you can also watch a behind-the-scenes “making of” video. Be sure to check out the Chillcast with Anji Bee #131 to hear another great track from the album, and to learn how you can enter to win 1 of 4 autographed copies of their album.
I’ve got a great contest for you this week; 4 autographed copies of the brand new Mr. Meeble CD! I’ve also got a great lineup with a very soul searching vibe and fantastic male and female vocals. Come to think of it, this may be the most gender balanced mix yet… Oh! And I’ve got a TON of free downloads for you!!!
Enter to win one of 4 autographed copies of Mr. Meeble’s debut CD, Never Trust The Chinese. Winners will be selected at random after October 1, 2008 and announced on The Chillcast.

"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
