The first band podcast of the new year finds Ryan and Anji giving you the rundown on the latest Lovespirals activities including last minute gear purchases for the 2009 tax year. Ryan discusses his new boutique preamp and compressor, as well as a vintage mic he’s checking out now. They also talk about the official digital release of Future Past, Facebook versus RSS feeds and Twitter, streaming audio affecting download sales, reviews of the new album, awards for “Shine”, Internet radio airplay, status update on their rescued piniped pal, Cyntia, and remixes of their upcoming second single, “Love.” The show ends with a special sneak peek at the gorgeous Soul Whirling Somewhere remix of “Love.” Say – how do you like our new podcast art for 2010?

Thanks for the heads-up on the iTunes appearance. I’ve written a review for you on the Australian store:

5 Stars
Title: Pinnacle
Review:
“This Southern California duo has never sounded tighter and more melodic. There’s a power and overriding confidence to Anji’s voice and Ryan’s playing equals it in every way. It’s not that Lovespirals has been shaky until this point, but the scope of development with this release is accelerated, leaving an incredibly professional impression and emotive force. The love and attention to detail is, by this reviewer, very appreciated. There’s something to pick up every time I listen.
“While like with all Lovespirals albums, one is left wanting more and keen for the next one, this one is rich enough to dine from until such a day arrives.”

Hope you like it!
thanks so much jason! we both really appreciate your support very much. 😀
if only we could select preview length for the various music services… its all or nothing with some of them. 🙁
yeah, jim, i’m not a big pandora, last.fm, lala, or blip user. i’ll pop on for a song or two, but i usually find the streaming experience unsatisfying. especially with all the buffering that tends to go on with sites like that!
Preview length: Perhaps :30 is too short, but the whole album is a bit too much in terms of protecting your music. 1:00 would be great, I think. A good balance between the two extremes.
Of course, personally, any album Lovespirals releases is an automatic buy!
I rarely listen to streaming music unless that is my only option to hear it (pre-release listening event). 99.9% of my music listening takes place via my iPod. 30 second sample clips are enough for me most of the time.
