Zack Daggy is on a much needed vacation from podcasting this month and asked me to step in as a guest host for his weekly music show, The Mothpod. I thought I’d return the love he’s shown me and my band Lovespirals on his various podcasts with a 45 min set of my favorite Chillcast love songs. And by “love songs,” I don’t mean sappy ballads, no! This is pure, dead sexayyyy….
Zack Daggy interviews Ryan Lum and Anji Bee of Lovespirals about their band history, musical process, brand new album, Long Way From Home, and more in a Shameless Plugcast Feature. He’s also doing an autographed CD contest - see his site for details!
This week I come to you straight from the bath after a nice walk on the beach. I needed to unwind after the Apple Store and Guitar Center poo I’ve been dealing with… PLUS my big weekend of updating lovespirals.com in support of releasing our 3rd CD. I share a peek of the risque photo book I made for my friend’s birthday and ask the very important question, “would you click it?” Please comment back with your answer! Oh, the “Claudine book” I mentioned is The Complete Claudine by Colette
It’s a redcast this week as I record my first episode with my new audio setup in my freshly painted red room. I’m particularly chatty this week, dropping fan names right and left, showing you all the CDs I play on the upcoming Chillcast, as well as the updated Lovespirals digipac artwork, and my Helltastic t-shirt. I also re-announce the interactive contest Ryan and I first announced on Chillin’ with Lovespirals #39 - please, please enter that if you get a chance! More on the “Motherless Child” remix EP, going all digital, ShowGirls #9, my JibJab video and more. Other peeps mentioned are Corey Dennis, Zack Daggy, Joey of Scout. Chris Caulder, and Baratunde. You have no idea how much trouble this episode was… Ugh!
So many super sexy new releases this week! Save this show until you get home from work coz it will surely put you in the mood… Watch for another great CD contest next week, as well as a special extended deep house DJ mix for the 4th of July!

"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry of Daily Source Code
"Anji's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet voice... I remember the first time I ever heard her, way back in the day, I said she could read me a Chinese menu or the phone book and I would be all happy!"
-- C.C. Chapman of Accident Hash
"Anji's voice wouldn't be out of place in a smoky jazz or blues bar somewhere down in a dimly lit cellar. Sultry with a voice like syrupy silky satin with a marshmallow middle and a honey topping."
-- Most Recognizable Voices in Podcasting, Sept. 2007
"Cosiness abounds as the silken voiced Anji Bee - lead singer of chillout band Lovespirals - pours a cocktail of mellow dance music. Mmm..."
-- Radio Times, July 2007
"If you're looking for a different brand of 'grown and sexy' in the podcast world, check out Anji Bee. This young lady is bringing it - from production, to her voice, to the music selection - she is doing her thazizzle!"
-- Fave of Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Anji Bee, a musician and former radio DJ, gives "stage" to artists who might not otherwise be discovered. Bee's podcast exposes me to independent artists I've never heard of, and subscribing to it eliminates the need to forage for new music."
- La Shawn Barber's Corner
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith of In Over Your Head
"I just love the tunes Anji Bee selects and her comments on them. I no longer have to search for music to be creative; I just susbcribe to The Chillcast."
-- Karen of Rumor Girls
"Like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside, it all adds up to an essential weekly download."
-- Good Podcast Guide, Nov 2006
"If you're in the mood for chillout music, this should be your first stop. Her voice alone is the perfect complement for a long drive or any escape from the hectic rush of everday life. You're gonna love it."
-- DJ Come of Age, Nov 2007
