Chillcast #170: Rest In Peace

2 Comments

This was one of the tougher episodes to make, quite frankly. One never knows what to say in the wake of unexpected deaths, and here I was trying to figure out the best way to talk about Andy Hughes when the news of Michael Jackson came in. And all of this on top of the ongoing struggle in Iran, not to mention the death of Charlie’s favorite Angel. Plus rumors have been swirling about Sasha Vujacic being traded and various other celebrities dying — all very distracting and non-chill… That being said, however, I think I managed a pretty tight one hour mix for you that’s about half contemplative downtempo and half upbeat dance music. I hope it brings you some peace of your own.

Chillcast Video #30: DJ Colette

Leave a comment

OM Records’ “First Lady of House,” Colette has just embarked on a massive House FM summer tour with DJ Heather, so I thought it was a great time to feature her on Chillcast Video. Check out this sexy video for the song, “If,” from her 2007 sophomore album, Push. You can find tour dates on Colette’s MySpace page. Tune in to this weekend’s Chillcast to hear another hot track by Colette. And don’t forget to vote for DJ Colette in the Best DJ of 2009 Contest at DJ Times!

This full hour episode is dedicated to our beloved L.A. Lakers who just won their first NBA Championship in 7 years. Congratulations also to team captain, Kobe Bryant, for additionally winning the Finals MVP award.  As I type up shownotes, I’m sitting here drinking a cuppa joe out of my new Sasha Vujacic mug given to me by one of my fellow Vujachicks at a fun viewing party for game 4. OK, I swear, no more Lakers posts or tweets for awhile. I’ll be switching to Wimbledon and Roger Federer any day now. LOL!

Sasha Answers Anji’s Question

1 Comment

There has been one burning question on my mind for Lakers’ guard, Sasha Vujacic, now that he has won his first NBA Championship: are you going to cut your hair? I asked him about his pledge to not cut his hair until finals were over on his official website – sashavujacic18.com – and was surprised to receive an answer almost immediately! You’ll note the poor grammar of my question, I am sure. Originally my question also included his pledge to not shave during finals, as well. Since he went back on that promise, I guess he decided to skip that part.

picture-4 If it were in my power to decide for him, I would have Sasha keep his beard and mustache shaggy as well as his hair, exactly as he looked the night I was lucky enough to bump into him at the Nokia Theater. Mmm… I’m happy to see reiterated in Sasha’s Exit Interview that he won’t be cutting his hair “too much.” Phew!

Stay tuned for The Chillcast #169 tomorrow, which will be a 1 hour set of songs dedicated to Sasha Vujacic and the Lakers congratulating them on winning the NBA Championship this year!

Congratulations LA Lakers!

Congratulations to the Lakers for winning the 2009 NBA Championship! I have not been able to buckle down and get focused on any work today, all I can do is google images and video to post up on my Sasha Vujacic Ning Forum. I have no idea if I can make it out to the big Lakers Parade this Wednesday, but my heart will be there in spirit. This win has been a long time coming for Kobe Bryant, who was actually my first Lakers crush back when he had that cute little fro… I’m super happy Derek Fisher was back with us for this win, and really wonder if we could have even done it without him! Anyway, I know this isn’t a sports blog, but anyone who follows me knows by now that I am a fan, as weird as some of you seem to find it. And you know what, I think I just might have to pick up one of the Lakers 2009 Championship Tees from Footlocker for 15% off using my promo code AFAnjiFL.

Artist of the Week: Under

2 Comments

The debut album of San Francisco duo, Under, has been several years in the making, but I must say, it has been well worth the wait! Their inspired self-titled first single was featured in the Chillcast Top 20 Podsafe Tracks of 2006, and this moody tune is still my favorite. While the earlier tracks taken from the Under EP might be the band’s strongest material, the newer songs have a delicate touch that provides a sweetly ethereal counterpoint. Jen Triano’s voice has a vulnerable, unforced quality that feels pleasingly familiar and shines equally brightly in either an electonic or rock setting, which Under balances beautifully on More Pleasant Grey.
