At the risk of being a total dork, I made my Positive Influence Zine playlist public on both Spotify and Apple Music to share what posicore and straight edge hardcore music I was listening to both back in the day as well when I was putting together my introduction to the anthology. I found it helpful to get into the same headspace I was in decades ago while searching those dusty corners of my mind for interesting stories or factual tidbits about creating the zine with Buster.
After a 2-year hiatus, The Chillcast with Anji Bee podcast is back! The past 6 or 7 years the show has only been available on Mixcloud so it’s exciting to check out the new Anchor by Spotify system. This talk-music format hearkens back to my early days on PodShow, and with Ryan Lum as my special guest, it’s also similar to my classic artist interview features. He and I sat down to chat about our brand new Lovespirals ‘Smile – Single’ sharing our songs plus music by other artists that helped inspire us. This was fun to do and I truly hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if you’d like Ryan and I to do more episodes like this!
I haven’t uploaded a new episode of the The Chillcast to Mixcloud since Valentine’s Day, but I still keep making playlists! Even though I’m an Apple user, I shared my end of the year playlist over on Spotify, as well, because it seems to be the more popular service. Hope you enjoy this mix. Feel free to follow me on either streaming platform for more playlists.
The Spotify player above will allow you to stream the full playlist (with commercial breaks) even if you don’t have an account. The Apple Music player below will only play you clips of the songs if you do not have an account.
