Ryan and Anji chat about seeing Neil Young perform and discuss how he’s inspired the band, talk about the official release of Long Way From Home – including being on the newly launched iTunes+, share a few fan emails and listener reviews from Amazon, iTunes, and LastFM, announce other sites selling or promoting the new album, including CDBaby, iLike, Virb, and iMeem, talk about their first performance in Second Life on PodShow Island, announce the Love Spirals Downwards reissues, and more. The show closes with “This Truth” live and acoustic!
A video of us performing “Walk Away” at our SecondLife concert was uploaded onto YouTube. In case you missed it, now you can see what this unique experience was like. PodShow Island features a waterway complete with laughing porpoises, so you’ll hear them pipe up occasionally throughout our set, lol. It’s too bad the avatars watching the concerts don’t make audible clapping sounds, too! Anyway, we had a great time sharing our music with both the listeners in-game and online via the audio livestream. Thanks again to the folks who hosted us!
Lovespirals’ avatars, Anji Riel and Ryan Lumley, are setting up for their first ever performance in Second Life tonight, Saturday October 27th, at 7pm SLT (PST) on PodShow-SoHo Island. They tell me the sim is gonna fill up fast, so be sure to get there on time so you aren’t left out! Direct link to venue: slurl.com/secondlife/SoHo/11/158/23
