Chillcast #440: Tell Your Friends

3 Comments

Now that I’m totally free of any responsibility to networks, I decided to try something different, taking advantage of Mixcloud’s more permissive rules regarding music usage. Today’s mix is made up of original album cuts, rather than bootleg remixes, underground producers or “podsafe” music. I recently discovered the site, FreeLegalMusic, that lets you download free music via your local library, and was surprised by how many great new hip hop and r&b albums and singles they offered! All of these artists have previously been featured on the show, but most of them were remixes, so I thought it would be nice to share their music in its original, intended form. Let me know what you think in the comments below or over atwww.facebook.com/chillcast !

NOTE: I just might have to drop a Valentine’s Day mix this month, too. I’ve been participating in the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration since its inception in 2008, so I’d hate to miss it this year! <3

I *still* heart Jules!

Looks like it’s been a month to the day that I proclaimed my love for Julien Smith, and I stand by that claim today. In fact, I love him more with every passing podcast, blog entry, and – now – Flickr photo! Seriously, though, what an amazing guy. I had no idea who I was talking to last month, but having followed up on my glib pledge to be the charter member of his cult following, well, I am truly smitten. Lately he’s been talking about how he hesitates to promote In Over Your Head as a Hip Hop music show because people are apparently closed minded about the genre. That is really too bad, because not only does Jules offer more than a mere music podcast, underground Hip Hop has more to offer than the potential listener might suppose, particularly when it is selected by the knowledgeable and socio-politically conscious Jules. Oh! And he actually does play more than Hip Hop, including some very hip Electro tunes. So if you haven’t yet, go check his shit out!
