As promised, this week I present a special artist feature on loopmaster extraordinaire, The Grooveblaster. Gerry and I spoke via phone about his long musical history and the process of creating his new album, Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights. He shares lots of really interesting stories, and coupled with the tunes, I think this feature will give you a nice portrait of the man behind the music. Warning: I do a say a few naughty words and play a few non-podsafe songs…

Chillcast Feature on The Grooveblaster

This week I will present a 60 min Artist Feature with The Grooveblaster on Chillcast with Anji Bee.
Hear how Gerry had his MySpace account unceremoniously deleted, was denied digital distribution by CDbaby, was contacted directly by a band to ‘cease and desist’, and how he turned his musical career around from outlaw underground remixer to chic retro-lounge downtempo fave of KCRW DJ, Raul Campos, as we preview tracks from his latest album, Cities, Streets, & Bebop Nights.
As I contributed vocals and lyrics to 3 of the tracks, I’m really excited about the album, but honestly, the whole thing is fantastic and includes collabs with the great Yasi Baby of Pacha Massive and posafe artist, Laura Harley, as well as great instrumental tracks with a sexy retro feel. There are a number of songs available on the podsafe music network to play on your show:
- The Grooveblaster on PMN
- Anji Bee on PMN with 2 Grooveblaster collaborations & an intro
Thanks for checking out the promo. I appreciate any support you can lend in getting the word out about both this feature and Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights!

“Whole Wide World” Lyrics
“Whole Wide World” The Grooveblaster Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights (2008)
I found your picture in a drawer
I hadn’t seen it for 10 years or more
It got me wondering
What ever happened to you?
If I searched the whole wide world
Should I search the whole wide world?
What if I searched the whole wide world?
For you, you
You were my first love years ago
It’s been so long now
That I don’t know
Just where you may be today
Every so often I speak your name
And in my mind’s eye
You look just the same
But I really wonder what do you look like today
But if I searched the whole wide world
Should I search the whole wide world?
What if I searched the whole wide world?
For you, you
I tell our story, but it sounds strange
All the facts are rearranged
How do you feel today
And how should I feel today
What should you mean to me
Is it important, this history?
When I know
We’ll never be together again
There’s a place in my heart for you
I hope you’ve kept one too
Remember when our love was new
I’d search the whole wide world for you
If I searched the whole wide world
Should I search the whole wide world?
Well if I searched the whole wide world?
For you, you, you…
— by Anji Bee (BMI)
Note: These lyrics were originally used for a collaboration with David Martin AKA Diode back in 2000. That version was simply called “Wide World” and was released via digital download only.

“Summer Days” Lyrics
“Summer Days” The Grooveblaster Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights (2008)
Summertime
Flowers blooming
Fruit is ripe
And all is full of life
Aqua skies
Fuchsia foliage
Just look around
The colors are so bright
Just enjoying summer days with
Pleasant sultry summer days with
Just enjoying summer days with you
Ah, with you
Out of doors
Feel the cool breeze
Sit back, relax
Everything alright
Smell of grass
Damp with dewdrops
Ladybugs and butterflies
In flight
La la la la…
Just enjoying summer days with
Pleasant sultry summer days with
Just enjoying summer days with you
Ah, with you
Summertime
Flowers blooming
Fruit is ripe
And all is full of life
Aqua skies
Fuchsia foliage
Just look around
The colors are so bright
La la la la…
Just enjoying summer days
Pleasant lazy summer days
Just enjoying summer days
With you
Ah…

At long last the band have settled on the winner and runner-up of the PLP Remix Contest for This Truth! We know that 60 some producers have been anxiously awaiting our decision since April 1st, and we’re sorry to have kept them on pins and needles, but we needed time to sort through and really listen to all of the entries. There were quite a few really good mixes — more than we even dreamed we’d get! We decided the best, most fun way to announce our faves would be with a podcast, sharing the music and our thoughts on the tracks. We hope that both the contest entrants and our podcast listeners will enjoy it. The remixes are presented in no particular order, except for the winner and runner-up; the runner-up is presented first and the winner is presented last. The grand prize is an 8 gig iPod Touch, a year’s subscription to the PLP Producers’ Vault, and all 3 Lovespirals CDs autographed by the band, plus inclusion on an upcoming remix EP and promotion via the Podsafe Music Network and other online music services.Thanks so much to all of the producers for their hard work and especially to DJ Puzzle of Peace Love Productions and SynthVox for throwing the contest for us!

- This Truth (Kambronn Remix) – Runner Up | Podsafe Music Network
