Chillcast Interview Feature with Lovespirals

This week I present a special one-hour interview feature on my band, Lovespirals. My partner, Ryan Lum, and I sit down to discuss our brand new 4th album, Future Past, and give an overview of the band’s decade-long history. We’ll be sharing every song on the album as we chat about our writing and recording process including our musical influences, album concepts, and the various stories surrounding our songs and albums. Really hope you enjoy the feature, and if you’d like to hear more interviews with us, follow the Lovespirals Mixcloud account!

Chillcast #200: Rain

Its been raining pretty much non-stop this week in So Ca, with crazy storm cells bursting down heavy rain and wind with thunder, hail, and the occasional twister. So pretty much the opposite of chill around here… I almost skipped the show altogether, but I had too many great songs waiting in my inbox to resist putting together a show for ya. Enjoy a number of pre-release sneak peeks and free downloads – plus a new recording of The Chillcast theme song by Lovespirals!

Chillcast #196: Merry Christmas

In the midst of all this Christmas madness, I somehow managed to assemble a pretty amazing one hour mix of wintry tunes that may even surpass last week’s holiday episode… This set includes several brand new tracks that are destined to become favorites. There’s also some more downbeat tracks for those of us that feel a bit melancholy during this season. I’d have to say that there’s something for everyone in this mix and you have your pick of 10 free mp3s for your own holiday playlist. Merry Christmas!

Chillcast #193: OMG

Today’s show is a bit of a study in contrasts; the music is half mellow and half upbeat — mixing downtempo, electropop, and drum ‘n’ bass — and my personal news is partly sad and partly ecstatic. Be sure to listen through to the end of the show to hear my big dorky fangirl brush with #18 of the Lakers! I’m still debating whether or not I want to put the video on YouTube; poor Sasha is already getting teased enough online without an “OMG OMG OMG” video adding to the craziness. But don’t worry, that story is just a tiny part of this hour long episode, which is packed with great tunes — including a couple of sweet free downloads you won’t want to miss!

Chillcast #192: Lighthearted

Hope all my fellow Americans are having a nice Thanksgiving holiday! I must admit I was starting to grow melancholy over the year’s end, but between all the kind messages coming in from Lovespirals fans and this mix of upbeat electropop and downtempo music, I can’t help but smile. There truly is much to be thankful for, not the least of which is the amazing variety and depth of  podsafe music this year! Lots of new bands are included to the show this week, and all but one song is a free download. Hurrah!
