Anji Riel and Ryan Lumley of Lovespirals setting up for our first ever performance in Second Life tonight, Sat. October 27th, at 7pm SLT (PST) on PodShow-SoHo Island. They tell me the sim is gonna fill up fast, so be sure to get there on time so you aren’t left out!
Lovespirals are featured on today’s Accident Hash. CC Chapman plays his favorite track from Long Way From Home, the album opener “Caught in the Groove.” He also announces our Second Life show on PodShow Island tomorrow night, which Accident Hash is co-presenting, despite the fact that CC is attending Podcamp Boston and won’t have good enough Internet connectivity to attend.

Lovespirals are the featured artist on this week’s PodShow Radio. Host, Brent Bradley, presents 43 minutes of podsafe Lovespirals tunes selected from all 3 albums, including our brand new single, “This Truth.” Ryan and I also give a little background on why and how we recorded our cover of “Motherless Child.” It’s a very smooth production you won’t want to miss!
Ryan and I will be attending the New Media Expo for our 2nd year. I suppose most people don’t think of Ryan as a podcaster, but he is my co-host on the Chillin’ with Lovespirals: Insights of an Indie Band podcast. CC and Karen have both commented on his great voice, which I find to be quite distinct. But even if you don’t recognize his voice, you can’t possibly miss the 6′ 5″ guy with really long hair and exotic baby face wandering around with me. Come up and say “hi” to us, we’re quite friendly and we will have copies of our brand new CD with us, which we’ll be happy to autograph and sell you for the low low Expo price of just $10.00. We’ll be at the ExtemePods & RumorGirls party tonight, so if you’re going — we’ll see ya there!
“Empty Universe” from Lovespirals’ upcoming CD, Long Way From Home is included on the boxed set compilation, Projekt 200. A celebration of the 200th release for indie label, Projekt, the 3-era 3-CD set includes 32 songs from the label’s 24 year history, including cuts from Chillcast featured artists Soul Whirling Somewhere, Autumn’s Grey Solace, and Love Spirals Downwards. This limited edition collection will be available in stores Sept 25th, but you can buy it online from projekt.com now.
MoShang just released a full length remix compilation entitled, ‘Asian Variations,’ as a free Creative Commons download via asianvariations.com. The 14 track collection includes his “No Place Like Home” remix of Lovespirals’ new single, “Motherless Child,” from their upcoming October 2007 album. You can also stream or download just this track from myspace.com/anjibee or myspace.com/lovespirals, and podcasters can add it to their playlists via Lovespirals’ Podsafe Music Network Page. Plans are underway to release a digital only EP of “Motherless Child” remixes, so watch for news at lovespirals.com!
Just want to send some warm birthday wishes Ryan’s way today. Wind and waves willing, he will be out surfing all day, and taking it easy. But you could surprise him with an email over on lovespirals.com!
There’s a new song streaming in my Anji Bee MySpace player. It’s the brand spanking new Hungry Lucy remix of the unreleased Lovespirals song, “Motherless Child.”
4 bands were invited to remix our rendition of this classic anonymous blues song, including Hungry Lucy, Karmacoda, MoShang, and Beauty’s Confusion. We hope to release a digital single on iTunes with all 4 remixes, plus a special Lovespirals remix, sometime over the next 2 months. Stay tuned to lovespirals.com for details!
