I’m the special guest on today’s Shameless Plugcast, being interviewed by show host, Zack Daggy, about Lovespirals, my vocal influences, podcasting, vidcasting, radio DJing, The Chillcast, Unwind, Lovely Ladies et al, plus I answer a listener question from Ed Ovett, of Ed’s Mixed Bag Podcast. This is one of my more personal interviews I think; good job, Zack!
On May 29th, Unwind with Anji Bee will present a half hour special feature on Podsafe Music Network artists, Lovespirals and Love Spirals Downwards. Band founder and my musical partner, Ryan Lum, joins me in the studio to discuss the bands 16 year career during one of the most revolutionary periods in music history. Plus the world debut of a brand new track from our upcoming 2007 album.
Please consider playing my promo on your podcast —
Finishing up production on Rebecca & Chris' artist spotlight for next Tuesday’s Unwind, and it is sounding pretty cool. They sent me more tracks from their brand new album, Three Thousand Miles, and it’s really good stuff! I had no idea she was working on such electronica based stuff. This feature would have worked just as well on The Chillcast! She’s come a long way from the more traditional jazz and AOR sound of her first album. I like both sides of her music, though, and totally relate to wanting to try new things. My work with Lovespirals is the same way. Anyway, watch for this special feature on May 1st at unwind.podshow.com!
This just in! The duo will also hold a CD giveaway contest as part of the feature – woo hoo!
The lovely Brazilian songstress Céu, whom I played on The Chillcast #56 (the episode that saved my life…), is the current iTunes Discovery Download. You simply must go grab this free song while you can!
Please don’t fret if you can’t access any of my podcasts today. PodShow is upgrading their servers so we will be experiencing a bit of downtime while they get their thing together. I understand they will be providing some behind-the-scenes type entertainment on the site in the meantime, so you can always “tune-in” — so to speak — to take a peek while you are waiting! Check back soon to get the latest episodes of The Chillcast, Unwind, and Chillin’ with Anji Bee. Oh, and I’ll be taping a ShowGirls today, too…
The Diggnation taping at Cinespace yesterday was pretty fun. Got there promptly at 6 but of course there was already a line around the building. This was the first live taping in the LA area so people came from all over. I was chatting with a gal from the female Diggnation fans group when I noticed Kevin crossing the street and realized what a fan girl I was! By the time Ryan and I got upstairs the seats were all taken, but the show was so funny that I didn’t really notice standing up for an hour. The dudes are total rockstars now, no doubt. Speaking of which, the French Maid TV chicks were there, doing their shtick and bringing Kevin beer every few minutes. He’s so cute when he gets wasted…
I’m gonna try to attend the Diggnation live taping at Cinespace tomorrow evening. Hopefully it won’t be a complete mob scene and I can actually get in. Going out to LA is always a hassle but I love Diggnation and haven’t been to any of their events yet. Plus I haven’t seen that cutie Kevin since he was with G4 and that’s far too long in my book. Ryan dared me to run up and kiss Kevin while they’re filming!
Podcasters: Please download this 1 minute promo for my upcoming half hour Unwind special feature on Podsafe Music Network artist and Second Life performer Matthew Ebel to play on your podcast. Thanks for your support!
Andreas interviewed me for a special feature on my various musical projects on his new XtraChill Intensiv podcast! The feature includes several tracks each from Lovespirals, Bitstream Dream, and Plastic Chair, giving an overview of my work from the past 5 years or so. This is a bilingual interview, with Andreas speaking in German and English and me just in English. But music is the universal language, right?
