Plastic Operator return to the Chillcast Video Edition with one of the catchiest songs EVER, “Folder” (no, not as in “scruncher or folder“), from their 2007 album, Different Places and the Folder EP. This fun video was directed by AICP award winner, Pete, of Bitstate. Be sure to check out this weekend’s Chillcast audio show to hear their latest single, “Peppermint,” from the Peppermint EP. And watch next week for the world premier of Karmacoda’s brand new video for “Make Like Mine” ONLY on The Chillcast Video - w00t! OH, and I select the winner of the MoShang Asian Variations limited edition CD live on this show. Is it you?
BTW, the download looks much better than the flash player, so check it out for higher quality!
(Boy, do I look like a freak in this video still!)
I loved this catchy song when I played it on The Chillcast #94, and now there's more to love with this cool new video! Check out "Home 0207" by Plastic Operator, from their 2007 album, Different Places, on Fine Day Records. It was directed by Pete Circuitt of Bitstate. Thanks to Mathieu and Pieter for sharing this with The Chillcast Video Edition!

This week’s show is a real doozy, if I do say so myself, featuring lots of great NON-holiday music and a very cool contest. Next week: all holiday music!

"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
