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!
Woo hoo! I’ve got a full hour of deep house and dance music for your 4th of July chillin’ pleasure. No talking in-between tracks, just an intro and outro. Perfect for your summertime barbeques or get-togethers in any country… Plus an exclusive track from Todd Terry and a special guest intro!
Got a set of all new releases for ya this week! I’m super stoked to bring you brand new Paul & Price and Sunburn in Cyprus, both sent to me by the bands, plus some great finds from Promonet. Oh, and btw, I’m almost done getting together my questions for Lol Tolhurst. Look forward to a special feature on Levinhurst soon!

This week I finally announce the winners of the Paul & Price CD giveaway contest – woo hoo! Plus I announce my new PodShow podcast — ooh ahhh… I also share my recent collaboration with Moosefrog, and play a bunch of cool songs with a slight Worldbeat and Hip Hop bent. Good times!
A little late this week, but better late than never, right? Quick wrap up on my week’s activities, including my little Paul & Price boo boo, conversing with the irrepressible Jules, and recording with Lovespirals, plus discussion of the vidcast viewership and it’s future release schedule, birthday plans, book reading update etc… If you love the vidcast, be sure to comment this week!
A special half hour feature on Paul & Price, winners of the 2007 Independent Music Awards “Best Album of the Year” and “Best Song of the Year” in the Electronica/Dance category. I preview music from their award winning new CD, Sounds Like Sex 2, as well as tracks from their past releases and remix projects, while chatting with Jonathan Paul and Damir Price about their career.
Just thought I’d make a quick post to remind everyone that The Chillcast will be delayed 1 day this week in order to sync up the Sirius listeners with the podcast listeners for my special Paul & Price feature and CD giveaway contest. Please check back on Tuesday January 23rd !
Recorded this last night — before today’s rain… [and snow!] This episode includes exciting Lovespirals news, more on my upcoming Paul & Price feature, a continuation of one of the subjects from last week’s ShowGirls (no offense to older men intended, I think I was mostly influenced by the invective of Tom Leykis I’d heard on the radio earlier in the day…), and a bit about CSB, the 5 Things Meme, RumorGirls, and Second Life.
The recent below-freezing temperatures of So Cal have given a whole new meaning to “chillout” over here at The Chillcast! Brrr… Let’s warm up with some hot music!
Rather than simply type up my Top 20 podsafe picks for 2006, I figured I’d put together a special episode of The Chillcast so you can hear them yourself! It was actually pretty difficult to keep the list to just 20, I have to admit. The quality of podsafe music just keeps increasing as the weeks and months go by, and I’m sure there’s still more great tracks from 2006 left for me to discover in coming episodes. I’m definitely looking forward to the new crop of podsafe tracks of 2007!
