Anji Bee Vidcast #60

1 Comment

After a quick catch up with the latest Lovespirals news (BTW, I just got an email from Damien.S saying “This Truth” is now #2 in the World Trance Chart – yowza!) I launch into all the juicy details of meeting Sasha Vujacic of the Lakers at the big John Mayer On His Own concert (Adele opened the show) and how I haven’t been able to sleep since. OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but for an old-school social media expert I am definitely a little too excited about his team launching official Sasha Vujacic MySpace and Sasha Vujacic Facebook accounts. Hee hee! Anyway, I hope you enjoy my silly little stories and don’t tease me too much. 😛

This week I scoured the Internet to bring you the very best brand new and recent releases, and I think you’re gonna enjoy this cool eclectic set. Included in this list are several free downloads, so rejoice! And speaking of free music, I have finally selected the lucky winner of the 8 CD contest, which I announce today. Plus lots of news, recommendations, announcements, promo codes, and good clean fun.

*update* I just read a very sad blog post by Jonatan Bäckelie (AKA “Ernesto”) about illegal downloading and its negative impact on not only his music but the entire chillout music scene. He is an incredibly talented artist and it is a damned shame to think he may give up hope on making music for a living.

The Machine Has (A) Heart

3 Comments

So I mentioned on The Chillcast a few episodes back that I met my favorite Laker, Sasha Vujacic. The guy is super nice, very kind to fans, and honestly seems like a regular guy, albeit a very attractive regular guy. Anyway, I’ve been following his career the past few years and have always been impressed by his passion for the game and his devotion to the Lakers. He obviously loves playing for them, not only from his actions on court, but from the things he says in interviews. This past summer, his contract was up for renewal and it was pretty touch and go there for a minute as to whether or not he would be back with the Lakers. I was stoked when they worked it out and he ended up with a 3 year contract. Then some rumors popped up last month about possibly trading Sasha… Yikes! And the other night Phil Jackson accused Sasha (“The Machine”) of having “no brain.” Wow! Low blow… I decided I should finally get off my ass and go down to Staples Center — where I haven’t attended a game since it first opened — to see them play the Heat, another pretty amazing franchise. I got killer seats right next to the tunnel leading to the locker room, with a great view of the Lakers’ bench, and a great view of the basket. And… I made a little sign to give Sasha some support. Yes, I felt like a big dork, but what the hell? I had more fun watching that game than I can remember having in months. What a blast!!! Oh, the really crazy thing about all this is that it turns out poor Sasha was having back spasms during the game, which goes to show how much heart he really has. I hope he feels well soon so he can meet up with the team for the San Antonio game Wednesday night.

Chillcast Top 20 Podsafe Songs of 2008

7 Comments

I had a lotta fun listening back to all the great podsafe songs that were released last year. So many talented artists made their music available via the Podsafe Music Network and IODA Promonet, which is a beautiful thing… Of course, I’m lucky enough to have many more songs and albums sent to me for what we call “special permissions,” but my tradition is to celebrate the music that was made legal for any and all podcasters to use in their shows. At a time when bloggers are proclaiming podcasting as a dead medium, I think it is especially important for us to appreciate the increasing growth of high quality podsafe music and to support the artists who support the art form of podcasting. Being both an indie artist and podcaster, I can see and experience that wonderful symbiotic relationship from a unique perspecitve, and let me say that I do not think podcasting is dead by a longshot. But hey — its 2009, let’s get this party started!
