Anji Bee’s podcasts, or podcasts featuring Anji Bee, for your listening enjoyment.
Back home from a quick camping trip on Catalina Island, feeling a wee bit sunburned but happy. Leaving felt like being expelled from Paradise, I have to admit. Ryan and I had the whole campground to ourselves so we could just totally chill out on the beach, watch the sunset from our favorite hiking spot, and play music around the fire at night without a care in the world…
You can see more of my camping pix on Flickr.
To my great surprise and delight, I learned that The Chillcast with Anji Bee has been nominated once again for The People’s Choice Podcast Award. I want to thank all of you – whoever you are – that took the time to visit podcastawards.com to nominate your humble hostess. You are the best! Of course, this is just the first step, to win the award, I would need everyone to go back and vote for me between October 23rd and November 6th, 2008. Now, I am much more concerned that all of my fellow Americans vote in the presidential election on November 4th, but it would still be pretty darned cool to win an award for the Best Podsafe Music Podcast!!! I must admit that, as fun as it was to win the group award for ShowGirls in 2007, it would be way more fun to have my very own Podcast Award here in my studio. 🙂
Still lovin’ this SNL skit from last night.
Back on The Chillcast #122, I presented a spotlight on the CC Asia Band project that I took part in. At that time, the collection of 21 songs known as CABACA had just been released digitally on the Jamendo and StreetVoice websites. Now the CABACA album has been released as a gorgeous limited edition CD, as well. On top of that, the ccMixter community has been hard at work creating remixes using various files taken from the songs, sometimes a vocal, sometimes an instrument. This episode is a collection of some of those remixes. These songs are all Creative Commons licensed free downloads!

This episode represents the mood I’ve been in, a state somewhere between low key and cranky… I’ve got a little ambient, a little glitch, and of course – downtempo electronica. Plus lots of great voices, both male and female. All brand new releases, several special permissions – w00t! Do I sound too low energy? Well, its a heat wave, so I’m pretty much melting over here….

This week’s has a mellower mood with a focus on more Ambient and Dream Pop styled music. It was inspired by 2 recent Magnatune releases. Noticed I didn’t use any music from Promonet this week, and just one from the Podsafe Music Network. The rest of the lineup comes directly from the bands or labels as special permissions tracks. Thanks to Projekt, Robert Rich, and All India Radio for the use of their music.

Lovespirals announce their brand new digital-only release, This Truth EP, now on iTunes+, Amazon, and Last.FM. The duo discuss their halt on recording, potentially playing live with Shine and Mr. Meeble, the iTunes 8 Genius function, Anji being “obsessive compulsive” with playlists, Pandora‘s troubles with the Copyright Royalty Board, Blip.FM and it’s similarities to Twitter, being #1 on Below Zero, their Drunk Rockers pix, an encounter with Long Beach City Mayor, Bob Foster, and their thoughts on the recent death of Pink Floyd keyboardist and founding member, Richard Wright. The show closes out with Lovespirals’ cover of Pink Floyd’s 1969 song, “Cymbaline.” You can grab this recording free from the NPF tribute CD: None of Us is Pink. You can buy the original version of the song from the lovely More soundtrack album. BTW, it was mentioned that “Great Gig in the Sky” was originally conceived for the Zabriskie Point Soundtrack, but it turns out that it was actually “Us and Them” Anji was thinking of — another amazing song from Dark Side of the Moon. Read the WikiPedia article on Zabriskie Point film.

Its a return to form this week with a relaxing mix of chillout tunes with both female AND male vocals. Yes, I do like male vocals, for those that have asked! I’ve also got the winners of the Natalie Walker CD contest this week, care of Dorado Records and IODA Promonet. Hey, I hope you all have updated your iTunes and are checking out the Genius feature. We want to make sure indie music is representing out there! I’m already getting some pretty cool playlists generated and I’m excited to see how they’ll evolve over time. BTW, I lied when I said I’d have 1 free download this week; I’ve got several for you to enjoy!
