Chillin’ with Anji Bee #20

Post-Valentine’s Day episode! I know, you probably thought I forgot about you guys, right? Nah. I’m back with more off the cuff observations and personal tidbits. In fact, this is probably one of the most revealing episodes yet. (No, CSB, I don’t show any cleavage…) I tell you about my Valentine’s Day, Monster’s stinky cat box, Coffee with Crayon, my weekly date, and The Painted Veil, as well as debate “am I sweet or not?”, reveal how I found time to podcast, and other probing issues. Ha!

My new show is bi-something…


I’m sitting here trying to figure out whether to announce my new podcast, Lovely Ladies, as “biweekly” or “bimonthly” to indicate that it will happen every other week. Looking up both words on the Apple dashboard dictionary is no help at all! Apparently, both words are ambiguous. Biweekly can mean either every other week or twice a week, and bimonthly can mean twice a month or every two months. Drats! Perhaps I should call it “fortnightly”?

In any case, please download my promo to play on your podcast :

[audio:http://media.podshow.com/media/142/episodes/49655/thechillcast-49655-02-11-2007_pshow_56191.mp3]

This week’s show is dedicated to the majesty of the female voice. I’ve got a killer lineup including 3 songs sent to me on CD, which is always awesome! I prefer 320 aacs, so getting to rip music directly from the album makes me stoked. I’m also stoked to have a new sponsor, Folgers! Woo hoo — coffee and music are two of the best things in life. And flavored coffee and female vocal music makes life that much sweeter…

Anji sings on new Moosefrog release

Moosefrog After nearly a year of procrastination, I spent the past two days recording vocals for two new songs to be included on Moosefrog‘s upcoming 3rd release for Lo-Kiwi. If you haven’t heard of Lo-Kiwi, you should definitely check them out! They’re a commercial free Creative Commons label with a great roster of downtempo, electro, nu-jazz, and idm artists. This will be my first time working with Moosefrog, so I’m kinda excited to see how it all turns out. It’s been awhile since I’ve done an online musical collaboration.

“En la Oscuridad” Lyrics

“En la Oscuridad” Moosefrog Adrift (2007)

Hay tantos
Motivos
Porqué le amo
Cómo puedo decirles todos

Su risa
Sus ojos
Sus brazos
Que me sostiene apretado

Déjame contarlos otra vez…

Mi amor, mi amor, mi amor
Te quiero
