To my great surprise and delight, I learned that The Chillcast with Anji Bee has been nominated once again for The People’s Choice Podcast Award. I want to thank all of you – whoever you are – that took the time to visit podcastawards.com to nominate your humble hostess. You are the best! Of course, this is just the first step, to win the award, I would need everyone to go back and vote for me between October 23rd and November 6th, 2008. Now, I am much more concerned that all of my fellow Americans vote in the presidential election on November 4th, but it would still be pretty darned cool to win an award for the Best Podsafe Music Podcast!!! I must admit that, as fun as it was to win the group award for ShowGirls in 2007, it would be way more fun to have my very own Podcast Award here in my studio. đŸ™‚
Adam Curry came out to personally congratulate us for our ShowGirls Podcast Award. It was so fun to tease him all weekend… Of course, now he’s getting me back via podcast, on recent episodes of both his Daily Source Code and Dawn and Drew Show. Doh! Don’t worry, I’ll send him some audio feedback. đŸ˜›
Our podcast has hit the big 4-0! Update on the new Lovespirals album progress, our New Media Expo 2007 plans – including a ShowGirls meet ‘n’ greet and Lovespirals unplugged performance, review of the B.B. King show at Hollywood Bowl, John Mayer boosted our stats, Chillcast #80 RSS problem and stat anomoly, band email, Love Spirals Downwards reissue update, “Motherless Child” Remix EP news — including a clip from the brand new Chris Caulder (of Beauty’s Confusion) remix! Enter our contest — write a review of Lovespirals’ Windblown Kiss and/or Free & Easy on iTunes for your chance to win a copy of Projekt 200! (Email us a link to the review so we can check it out.) Congratulations to The Mothman for winning the first copy! You may be curious to know who Geshe-la is…
BTW, how did I miss John Mayer’s version of “Chocolate Rain”???
Ooh, it’s a bedcast! I chat about recent events such as Lovespirals being on the Projekt 200 3-CD boxed set, the Anji Bee CD Store, watching David Lynch’s Twin Peaks – The Second Season DVDs, designing the Long Way From Home digipac (and stuff distracting me from that), Mojitos on the beach, ShowGirls‘ surprising Podcast Awards win, my big LinkShare check, and more. Features Lovespirals’ “Motherless Child (MoShang’s No Place Like Home Mix)” from MoShang’s brand new Asian Variations Remix CD.
BTW, I went out and bought the Mbox Mini after recording and it kept kernal panicking my laptop so it looks like I’m taking it back to GuitarCenter for the FastTrack Pro. Anyone using that?
Thanks so much to everyone who nominated The Chillcast with Anji Bee for the best produced Podsafe music podcast for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards! I am now one of 10 shows vying for this year’s awards. Woo hoo! The voting begins today — July 28th — and continues until August 11th. Turns out that you can vote once every 24 hours. So pretty please, stop by podcastawards.com and lay a vote — or 10 — on me!
Podcasters/Webcasters:Please play my promo on your show!
Please nominate The Chillcast with Anji Bee in the Podsafe Music category for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards 2007. Sure, my buddy C.C. Chapman may very well win again this year, but I’d love to just be in the running! Nominations close July 15th, so act fast or forever hold your peace.
