Chillin’ with Lovespirals #67

Leave a comment

Ryan and Anji bring you a final update (*crossing fingers*) on the noisy neighbor’s construction project and getting back into the studio to record again. Lots of talk about Lovespirals’ new song, “One Of Those Days,” plus a preview of it at the end of the show. Ryan describes his new Howie pedal and how it mimicks a Dumble amp sound which leads into to a conversation about various studio upgrades the band have made this year. They also discuss the their recent quest for an outside recording space, share the religious experience they had at the final Clapton & Winwood show at the Hollywood Bowl, mention their excitement at going to see Doyle Bramhall II with the Arc Angels this week, and talk about participating in the Meals For Seals sponorship program at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center.

Artist of the Week: Sleepthief

5 Comments

Justin Elswick gives us a taste of what’s to come on the new Sleepthief album with his first single, “World Gone Crazy.” This digital release includes 5 remixes, all featuring the vocals of Coury Palermo, formerly of the band Lynden. His emotive voice sounds amazing in each musical setting, and I must point out that the vocal production is simply outstanding in every mix. If this is an indication of what we can expect from the new Sleepthief album, then it should prove to be truly top notch. I would have loved to hear the original version on this EP, but I guess we’ll just have to wait for the full album. Meanwhile, the Sensory Gate mix has the sort of lush melancholy I’ve come to expect from Sleepthief releases, while the Psychosomatic mix throws a bit of radio friendliness into the production, and Nick Murray – as could be expected – gives it the full club treatment. By the way, there was apparently a bit of a mixup with the masters and so iTunes is currently offering the demo version of Murray’s mix. I’m told it should be updated by the end of the week. If you are a completist, you may want to grab this soon-to-be rarity from iTunes while you can.

Chillcast #171: Be Free

1 Comment

I had totally forgotten about Independence Day when I sat down to make the playlist this week, so I scrapped it and started fresh to create a full hour of good, good vibes – to quote the amazing new Sara Tavares song I open up this set with. Look forward to an eclectic mix of sounds and styles including World, Downtempo, Electro, House, and Funk — all guaranteed to put you in the best of moods! Plus 6 totally legal free downloads – something to celebrate, indeed.

Anji Bee is Sasha’s Featured Fan

Leave a comment

My fangirl status has just reached another high today as I am in the Fan Spotlight on the official site of Laker guard, Sasha Vujacic. OMG! As of today, when you visit vujacic.net, you will see my little face TWICE on his homepage; once for said spotlight, and the other for the Ask Sasha A Question area, which I posted about previously. I’m not sure if this makes me a stalker or a good news source, but either way, it is a thrill to play a small part on my favorite player’s site. Of course, this is actually my third time making the news on Sasha’s site. I was also one of 3 “Vujachicks” features in an article called Sasha Spirit showing various fans holding up signs for Sasha at Lakers games. Please read my Sasha Vujacic Fan Spotlight interview and feel free to leave a comment there on the site.

Anji on Friday Favecast MJ Tribute

Leave a comment

Download Friday Favecast: Remember the Time

My friend and fellow podcaster, Fave Nitemare, put together a fine tribute episode of his award-winning Friday Favecast in honor of the passing of pop legend, Michael Jackson. He sent word out through Twitter that he was looking for audio comments for the show, inviting folks to share their memories of this iconic entertainer. In addition to talking about how MJ influenced my own music growing up, I suggested Fave play the sexy Todd Terje mix of Jackson’s soulful 70’s song, “I Can’t Help.” There’s a lot of really great MJ related music in this episode, so be sure to check it out: Friday Favecast: Remember the Time (official shownotes et al.).
