Looks like it’s been a month to the day that I proclaimed my love for Julien Smith, and I stand by that claim today. In fact, I love him more with every passing podcast, blog entry, and – now – Flickr photo! Seriously, though, what an amazing guy. I had no idea who I was talking to last month, but having followed up on my glib pledge to be the charter member of his cult following, well, I am truly smitten. Lately he’s been talking about how he hesitates to promote In Over Your Head as a Hip Hop music show because people are apparently closed minded about the genre. That is really too bad, because not only does Jules offer more than a mere music podcast, underground Hip Hop has more to offer than the potential listener might suppose, particularly when it is selected by the knowledgeable and socio-politically conscious Jules. Oh! And he actually does play more than Hip Hop, including some very hip Electro tunes. So if you haven’t yet, go check his shit out!

Chill to this dreamy, heavy on the vocal electronica, set featuring 2 tracks from the internet-only women’s rights benefit compilation, Songs for Choice. Feeling more sick now than when I filmed the last Chillin’ with Anji Bee, but I’m trooping on…

Not feeling my best, but didn’t want to let ya down… Another off the cuff ramble with topics that include “what do you do for a living?“, family and friends discovering my podcast, and the secret of my first fanzine. Here’s the link I mention, btw: Die Cast Garden

This week I gave my various PodShow pages a bit of a facelift with new artwork. I’ve been thinking about phasing them all out once I finish archiving all my episodes on this site, but I realized that I’ll miss all the cool reviews listeners put up on The Chillcast page… so maybe I’ll keep the PodShow pages as well as the Anji Bee site. I dunno yet!
Oh, I also started a promos and theme songs page on my site. I know I’m always searching for folk’s podcast promos to play on The Chillcast, so I want to make it easy for others to find mine. I also thought it was cool that Dawn and Drew made their theme music available for listeners to download and use as ringtones, so I copied them! I’ll add more stuff to that page soon, so check back again later.

I really love this week’s lineup! Lovely and amazing songs that I’ve been secretly hoarding in my iTunes collection that must be shared. Prepare to fall in love, my friends…

Made up 2 promos for my videoblog this week. Here’s one of ’em. If you like the show, please consider posting this on your blog/site!
By the way, the background music is a remix of the Lovespirals track, “Walk Away,” by Sinq. It won the Peace Love Production remix contest awhile back.
Checking out the new relaunch of the PodShow+ site which now includes the Podsafe Music Network, I noticed that my band, Lovespirals, is dominating the Downtempo Top 10 chart. We currently hold the number 1, 2, and 9 spots. Not too shabby.
We’re actually gearing up to officially add our band podcast, Chillin’ with Lovespirals, to PodShow. I was thinking we could start doing vidcasts, or at least occasional videos, since Podshow makes it so easy to do and offers unlimited bandwidth. It would probably kill us to try and host videos ourselves!
This is certainly an exciting time filled with interesting possibilities…
I get excited about the relaunch of PodShow+ and the possibility of getting more involved with vidcasting, despite my lo-fi set up and little insecurities. Watch for some surprise historical video at the outro! Oh yeah, here’s a link to the YouTube video I mentioned…

I participated in the democratic process today by getting off my ass and voting. Yay, me! I was considering playing the Biddies “Cast that Ballot” on The Chillcast this week, but my listener base is so throughly international that I decided against it. But I hope any Americans reading this did their bit today, too!
