I’m back by popular demand! This week I share my favorite munchies, a fan surprise, my new hairdo (and it’s attendant boo boos…), more Lovespirals updates, and plenty of self-doubts brought on by chatting with the sage Chris Penn and feeling generally overwhelmed by the need to market myself better. Let me know what you think about the new Chillcast plan, OK? And holla back if you’re down for my street team!
I’m always complaining that I have more music than I can play on The Chillcast, right? So I’ve been thinking of expanding the show to a twice-weekly format. Perhaps later I’ll expand it to more than that… Just thought I’d ask your opinion on whether or not you think I should go twice-weekly with The Chillcast. I appreciate your input!
This week’s super sexy episode features a number of surprise guests and an extra special CD contest! Lots of lovely ladies in the mix, lots of brand new releases, lots of love… Life is good, my friends. Share this one with a friend!
Adam Curry played our version of “Motherless Child” on his Daily Source Code today, which I just made available for podcasting on his Podsafe Music Network. He also commented that I had emailed him a “nude” photo of myself and a friend… Thought I’d go ahead and share that pic with the world, just to set the record straight. Sexy? Maybe. Nude? Hardly…
Back to the old iPod format this week. I dunno if folks really care about the bigger size or not, and it just takes longer for me to bounce down and upload that dang large video, so screw it! Feel free to reply if you like the larger size and I will consider it. Another update on the bungalow renovation, the new Lovespirals CD, other recent goings-on, and some personal questions. OH! Plus a photo history of my hair colors.
Spring is in the air and that can only mean one thing: Spring Cleaning! OK, there might be more pleasant Spring diversions, but if you’ve got a 90 minute set of chilled tracks featuring lovely lady vocalists, well then, it’s really kinda fun. Of course, you can always just listen while you kick back with friends and family, or even while you work at your desk. 🙂 [Drats! Just realized I played this Essenza track on #59. Oh well! It’s a goodie.]
Ryan and I return with plenty o’ band news including a plug for the Unwind Lovespirals Spotlight, remixes of “Motherless Child” from our upcoming new album, a newly podsafe remix of “Walk Away”, and potential live shows, plus an explanation of our studio band VS performing band predicament, and news of our future recording studio. PLUS we share a clip from the brand new MoShang “No Place Like Home” Mix of “Motherless Child.” Don’t miss it!
This week’s episode is a half-hour feature on my band, Lovespirals, and its earlier incarnation, Love Spirals Downwards. Band founder, Ryan Lum, joins me in-studio to discuss the band’s 16 year history during one of the most revolutionary periods in music. From 8 track cassette to digital recording, indie record label success to totally indie self-release, fanzine and college radio to website and podcasts – we talk a bit about all the changes the band has experienced. We also premier a brand new track from Lovespsirals upcoming 2007 album!
Hope all my American listeners are enjoying their 3 day weekend. Of course, I didn’t take the day off, gotta get The Chillcast (and Unwind) out to ya! Luckily, I love my job… I’ve got some special treats this week, too, featuring a host of lovely female vocalists. Oh – me included! 🙂
Took a little break and went back to Doheny to watch Ryan surf for a bit. I recorded a some stuff with my still digital camera and thought I’d share not only that video, but a collection of little surf videos I’ve captured over the past year or two. I’ve always liked how the camera videos look like old 8mm film. This episode features “Sandcastles” by my band with Ryan, Lovespirals.
