Fan Discovers Lovespirals via MoShang via Second Life

Second Arts Blog

Its always interesting to find out how fans discover my music and podcast, and sometimes the connections are surprising. A recent post on Second Arts blog details Morris Vig’s musical journey, courtesy of Second Life. Apparently a chance MoShang performance in SL lead to the discovery of Lovespirals (via MoShang’s remix of “Motherless Child,” no doubt), as well as The Chillcast with Anji Bee, which of course has always been a strong supporter of MoShang. Even more fun is that MoShang was Vig’s gateway into the chillout music scene. May I be the first to say, “Welcome!”

Anji Bee Guests Blogger & Podcaster Magazine Meetup

Anji Speaks in Second Life

I gave my first talk in Second Life tonight for the monthly Blogger & Podcaster Magazine meetup. The crowd was quite warm and receptive, asking questions after my general talk about the lifepath that led to me being a podcaster. I was pretty nervous, I have to admit, and I think what surprised them most was my admission that I am sick of hearing myself talk after so much time spent promoting the new Lovespirals album. 😛
