Chillcast Top 20 Podsafe Songs of 2008

I had a lotta fun listening back to all the great podsafe songs that were released last year. So many talented artists made their music available via the Podsafe Music Network and IODA Promonet, which is a beautiful thing… Of course, I’m lucky enough to have many more songs and albums sent to me for what we call “special permissions,” but my tradition is to celebrate the music that was made legal for any and all podcasters to use in their shows. At a time when bloggers are proclaiming podcasting as a dead medium, I think it is especially important for us to appreciate the increasing growth of high quality podsafe music and to support the artists who support the art form of podcasting. Being both an indie artist and podcaster, I can see and experience that wonderful symbiotic relationship from a unique perspecitve, and let me say that I do not think podcasting is dead by a longshot. But hey — its 2009, let’s get this party started!

This 21 song album is the collaborative effort of dozens of artists spanning the Asia-Pacific region in the spirit of share and share alike.

“Favor Tweet” Lyrics

“Favor Tweet (with Takeru Ishikawa)” CC Asia Band CABACA (2008)

Watashi no (my)
Aware na (poor)
Kokoro ga (heart)
Itandeiru (is aching)

My poor heart
Oh how it is aching
Can you hear the sound
Of it breaking
Show pity on the one
You’re forsaking
Look at all the love here
Just for the taking

Watashi no (my)
Aware na (poor)
Kokoro ga (heart)
Itandeiru (is aching)

— by Anji Bee (BMI)

Note: An abbreviated version of these lyrics are featured in the Plastic Chair song, “Dispersion from 2003. “Favor Tweet” is an instrumental song by Takeru Ishikawa which I added vocals to specifically for the CC Asia Band Creative Commons project. My vocal files were also made available to remixers on the CC Mixter site, so different versions of this lyric have been created by various producers under new titles.
