Good things are happening behind the scenes with my new Chillcast, so expect an announcement soon from me. For now, you can check out Chillcast Episode 2 via ourmedia.org. I put a link up on the newly redesigned www.chillcuts.com. Just click on the “chillcast” tab and there ya go!

Ooh man would I love to get my hands on one of the new iMacs. I could see putting that extra power to use for designing the new album cover, not to mention doing podcasts, and maybe even a special vidcast. Mmm…. drool…

The most recent episode of the Chillin’ with Lovespirals podcast announces a new single released to the Podsafe Music Network, where podcasters can download music freely and legally for use on their shows. The band also announces Anji Bee’s latest project for 2006. You’ll have to download Episode 11 to find out the details!

Hmm… noticed that our podcast isn’t showing up on iTunes today. I wonder how long it’s been down? I wonder what happened? Bummer.

Jive Magazine listed Free & Easy at the very top of their 2005 Holiday Gift Guide, alongside Richie Hawtin, The Prodigy, The ORB, and Aphex Twin. Not bad company! Haven’t seen their review go up yet, but they’re a print mag, so I suppose these things take time.

Man some jerk somehow made a spam entry on 100 blog entries. WTF? I didn’t check what the links were, but they didn’t seem to make any sense. There was no text to temp one into clicking them, either. It was just stupid and pointless. Why target our little blog, anyway? Geez spammers suck ass.

Man, FINALLY I got the audio files working on LastFM. I couldn’t get anyone to respond to my requests for help until just this week. He suggested what I had already considered doing, which is simply reuploading everything again. Hopefully the tunes will start populating into the various radio streams and getting out to the listeners. LastFM is a cool site, but they have so much going on over there that sometimes the system gets overburdened and wacky. Anyway, glad to see it’s finally working, a month and a half later.

To celebrate the holiday season, Lovespirals are holding a sale now through
New Year’s Eve at their official webstore. New CD, Free & Easy is now just
$9.99 while the 2 CD gift set of both Free & Easy and 2001’s
Windblown Kiss is just $15.99. Band members, Ryan Lum and Anji
Bee, will personally autograph the CDs, too – even ones for your friends and
family. Folks in the USA placing orders immediately have a pretty good shot
of getting them by Christmas because the band will ship them out ASAP.

At long last, we settled into the studio for another podcast. We had so much to catch up on that it’s 15 minutes – the longest yet! Find out more on the podcast page…

Yaaaawwwwn I am so tired. I don’t know about this whole time change thing, it’s too confusing. Anyway, the new podcast is up. It’s 10:10, oddly enough. We started a little contest, so go take a listen on the podcast page, if you haven’t already subscribed!

OK, for those of you who have listened to the newest podcast (v.7), this is one of the photos of that guy I was talking about. For those that haven’t, check out the podcast and then you’ll know why I posted this!

Episode 6 of Chillin’ with Lovespirals is now up and ready for your
listening pleasure. The Lovespirals crew get a bit loopy as they announce the
official street date, talk of promotional plans, and ask fans for their input.
You can check it out through all the usual locations (ie. the website, iTunes,
Odeo, MySpace, Garageband etc…).
