My first show of the new year gives you a wrap up of my holiday celebrations and recent podcasting, blogging, and band activities, and laments the downside of podcasting over the holiday season. BTW, here’s my iLike Picks and the i am nerd podcast site… [ed. just noticed my intro slip – doh!]

Anji Bee Hosts Daily Source Code

Anji Bee Curry Delight [audio:http://media.podshow.com/media/21/episodes/45027/dailysourcecode-45027-01-09-2007_pshow_51172.mp3]

Today’s “Best of Charley” edition of the Daily Source Code #524 is guest hosted by yours truly in an episode I call Adam Loves The Ladies! I put together a pretty darned smooth mix of female fronted Podsafe music played by “my cyber lover,” Adam, over the past 4-5 months. A fun listen! Oh, Adam told me the “Leroy” comment is a reference to the song, “Float On.” 🙂

Snuck out to the see the sunset just after recording the show and boy was it nice… Had the Becket & Taylor song totally stuck in my head! When I got back I saw that my favorite podcaster had just launched a brand new podcast/project called Listen to Your Kids; you go Jules! Anyway, I’d describe the mood of this episode as decidedly upbeat. I’m really digging the new year.

  1. “Lounge Cafe” Luiz Macedo Tratore Basics 3: New Brazillian Songwriting (2007)
  2. “Duccu” Metropolis Nordic Lounge Weekend (2006)

5 Things You Don’t Know About Anji

4 Comments

Crikey! I just noticed that C.C. Chapman had “tagged me” for that 5 Things Meme. Gulp! I guess I owe it to him to try and come up with 5 things people might not know about me and 5 other poor saps to do the same. Darned chain mail!

  1. My parents named me after the actress, Angie Dickenson.
  2. I attended 3 different high schools in 3 different states; California, Arizona, and Massachusetts.
  3. I moved out of the house right after High School. I started off in Downtown L.A., then moved to Hollywood, decided I hated the metropolitan area and settled down in the Harbor Area, instead.
  4. I’ve never left the North American continent; the furthest I’ve traveled to is Mexico City.
  5. OK, here’s the embarrassing one: I appear in Journey’s “Faithfully” video. I’m in one of the concert crowd shots, sitting up on a guy’s shoulders. I used to see it on MTV all the time… Good luck spotting me on the tiny grainy YouTube video!

So let’s see, I’ll tag Roger Smalls, Comic Strip Blogger, Karen & Karla of Rumor Girls, and Soccergirl. We’ll see if any of them actually do it or not…

Simone de Beauvoir: A Biography I’m finishing up Deidre Bair’s Simone de Beauvoir: A Biography at long last. I picked this up used at a college book sale back in the late 90’s and somehow never got around to reading it. My M.O. is to buy a small stack of books and stash them away for future reading, so I guess I stashed this one too well… I usually mix up my reading between biography, classic literature, spirituality, journals/letter collections, and a little contemporary fiction every now and then (generally given to me by someone) so I don’t get too bogged down by any one type of book. I don’t tend to read much self-help or how-to books, though I do have a decent collection of Arts and Crafts movement books for inspiration with my Craftsman bungalow.

I’ve been an avid reader ever since I was a tiny child; I had already read all the Dick and Jane books before starting kindergarten so my teacher had me assist the other children in learning to read, even the Spanish speaking kids! I used to spend whole weekends devouring books, until we got our first computer… But still, I find that nothing can replace the cozy feeling that curling up with a book in the tub gives me. Or reading in bed before going to sleep. Or sitting at the breakfast table with a cup of coffee and good book. Heck, where’s my book? What am I doing at the computer?

Anyway, I always kind of enjoy seeing what other folks are reading, so I figured I’d make that a new part of my blog, for the curious. I’m actually also reading Thoreau’s Walden, which I like to bring with me to the beach because it just seems wrong to read it indoors.

Podcasting News Mentions Showgirls

Podcasting News gave my new collaborative podcast, ShowGirls, a little writeup yesterday. Last year they also carried the “controversial” PodShow press release, the 7 Hot Women of Podcasting, that inspired the show concept. Honestly, what the heck is so upsetting about “hot women” anyway? Since when did podcasting go P.C.?

7 women of podcasting have banded together for Podshow’s Showgirls, a new podcast starring Cali Lewis from Geekbrief TV, Share from Rock and Roll TV, KFC from the Podchick podcast, Anji Bee from the Chillcast, SoccerGirl from SoccerGirl Incorporated and Karla and Karen from Rumor Girls along with moderator Franklin McMahon.

“It’s evident that in the past year female podcasters have become a huge force in this new media arena” says producer Franklin McMahon, “each of these women already produce very popular shows on their own. This new program gives them a chance to let their hair down and chat, and it also gives listeners a treat by featuring their favorite podcast stars…multiplied by seven.”

Topics include the Showgirls’ insights on everything from world events, to entertainment, to technology as well as a behind the scenes look at what it takes to produce their podcasts.

Rather than simply type up my Top 20 podsafe picks for 2006, I figured I’d put together a special episode of The Chillcast so you can hear them yourself! It was actually pretty difficult to keep the list to just 20, I have to admit. The quality of podsafe music just keeps increasing as the weeks and months go by, and I’m sure there’s still more great tracks from 2006 left for me to discover in coming episodes. I’m definitely looking forward to the new crop of podsafe tracks of 2007!
