Lovespirals have just added Windblown Kiss to the popular online music store, CD Baby, for the low, low price of just $8.99.
CD Baby is also carrying the 8-year career retrospective colection, Temporal, by the band’s former incarnation, Love Spirals Downwards. Help support the band by buying directly from them, via CD Baby!

Man oh man there were a lot of remixes to listen to this weekend! First we whittled the 4 pages worth of entries to just 32 tracks, then down to 22 tracks, and finally to 8 tracks. Now we need to hone in on just one Grand Prize Winner and 2 Runner-Ups. We feel like American Idol judges! Ryan says he’s Simon and I’m Paula, but I think I’m a bit more like Randy… 🙂

Anyway, I’m planning to unveil the final announcement by Friday, which will hopefully include our having all pertinent mixes uploaded to our SoundClick page for everyone to check out!

Italian indie music magazine, Losing Today, is currently hosting a downloadable mp3 of “Hand in Hand” on the Mp3 Today
section of their website.

I’m starting to miss playing live again, it’s been so long. I can’t help thinking about how much more fun it would be, though, if we had more musicians to fill out the sound. A bassist would be a huge improvement, at least. It could be cool to have a keyboardist, too. Or maybe somebody who could play both, depending on the song. Like John Paul Jones, that would be nice.

In a time when albums seems to be a dying art form, and music appears to have been overtaken by inexperienced youth, this album truly stands out. It is so refreshing to hear a mature perspective on life! I loved this album when it came out 3 years ago, and it has really stood the test of time. It is unassuming, quiet, but so elegant and satisfying… just hip enough, without being cliche — and therefore open to premature aging. There are so many good tracks, and not really any bad tracks; a rarity, it seems. I would have been damned proud to have created this album, that’s for sure.

Photos from Lovespirals Leon, Mexico show are now available on
the nightlife information site antropolitan.com. The 3 page photo album includes concert pics, backstage shots, and crew and fan photos.

Projekt has paired up with Hot Topic for a special Holiday
compilation CD. Comprised of the best tracks from the popular
Excelsis series of releases, A Dark Noel includes songs
by both Lovespirals and Love Spirals Downwards, plus many
other Projekt favorites. This CD is sold at the budget price of $3.98 from Hot Topic stores nationwide.

Radio Reflektionen is currently hosting a streaming online radio
program assembled by Anji, called “From Dusk to
Dawn”. Featuring 4 hours of 56kbps mp3s, the show
encompasses many of Anji and Lovespirals’ musical inspirations
as well as their own music, and music by friends, peers, and
labelmates. This program will be on continuous loop for
approximately one month.

Well, we can’t import my old address book into my new email program, so I have to start it all fresh… So, anyone reading this, please be sure to pop by CONTACTS to add yourself to the list today, and I’ll make sure to add you personally to the news list! Thanks!

Wow, we leave tomorrow for our mini tour with Mira! We decided not to do the L.A. show tonight, so that we could make the drive to San Fran safe and sound. Ryan was worried about rushing up there after having done a show the night before. We plan to play the Knitting Factory ourselves next month. Stay posted for that…

We’ve been practicing a lot, and its sounding pretty darned good. We’re a lot tighter now than at Projekt Fest. The vibe is definitely different without Doron. I seriously doubt we’ll get all the lounge comments this time!

Well, wish us luck.

Sterben, of Reflektionen, has recently updated his Nightswan Music Charts with photos — at least for the “Dark Girls of Song” area. (Look under “Beautiful People” and click “women”…) Looks like Projekt Records has a corner of the market for beautiful girls, as the entire Top 5 is from their artist’s roster, including yours truly. Sure looks like a huge undertaking to tally up all the votes on so very, very many contestants! Seems to be a never-ending vote, too… What patience that man must have.
