This week I present a special one-hour interview feature on my band, Lovespirals. My partner, Ryan Lum, and I sit down to discuss our brand new 4th album, Future Past, and give an overview of the band’s decade-long history. We’ll be sharing every song on the album as we chat about our writing and recording process including our musical influences, album concepts, and the various stories surrounding our songs and albums. Really hope you enjoy the feature, and if you’d like to hear more interviews with us, follow the Lovespirals Mixcloud account!

Dave’s Lounge Chillcast Sneak Attack
I just put together special half hour “Chillcast Sneak Attack” episode of the popular weekly downtempo podcast, Dave’s Lounge. I thought it would be fun to surprise the very busy Dave this week with a few underground hits from some of the music sites we used to haunt back in the infancy of the online music community. This 6 song episode includes tracks by Captain Ginger, Elekoustic, EchoVent, Misnomer, Sudaka, and Bitstream Dream.
This is the 2nd time I have guest hosted the show. My first time was back in 2006 for Dave’s Lounge #46. In return, Dave guest hosted Chillcast #13.

Grooveblaster Feature on Chillcast #139
As promised, this week I present a special artist feature on loopmaster extraordinaire, The Grooveblaster. Gerry and I spoke via phone about his long musical history and the process of creating his new album, Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights. He shares lots of really interesting stories, and coupled with the tunes, I think this feature will give you a nice portrait of the man behind the music. Warning: I do a say a few naughty words and play a few non-podsafe songs…

Topics include the origin of both The Chillcast and Chillin’ with Lovespirals podcasts, my favorite podcasts and vidcasts, what I wanted to be when I was a child, the most “significant thing” to happen to me as a result of podcasting, and future plans for my shows. PodfinderUK is a great little “best of” style vidcast starring Josephine Laurence presenting an eclectic mix of vidcast and podcast clips from all over the podosphere.

The Chillcast Joins Cupid’s Hunt Project
After reading about it on the Friday Favecast blog today, I decided to join in the fun on the Cupid’s Hunt Project, since it just seems so obvious that The Chillcast should do a Valentine’s Day Special. I know I should probably be putting together a big 100th Episode for next Sunday, but since I’ve actually produced 129 episodes to date according to my PodShow stats, it doesn’t feel like the big milestone the number implies… Plus I just celebrated by 2 Year Anniversary of The Chillcast! At any rate, I’m having fun putting together a one hour playlist of songs about L-O-V-E for this Thursday, so stayed tuned to check it out on the big day, baby!
