The in-store acoustic show last night went well. I’d say that just the right amount of people showed up. The store was nicely filled, but not too packed. It was good to see Bob and Terri, from Ipso, again. We also saw Gary and Dach, both of whom I know from way back when at KUCI. It was a good crowd all the way around. It was cool to see Audra perform acoustic. Bart borrowed Ryan’s steel string...

Projekt just released 2 new budget priced compilations in conjuction with major chain stores to introduce the music of their label. For Hot Topic, there is Projekt:Gothic, including Lovespirals’ song, “Swollen Sea.” The Arbitrary Width of Shadows, featuring Lovespirals’ “Dejame,” was created for Borders.

George Zehora has written a cheeky little review of Windblown Kiss for the online zine, Splendid: It’s no accident that the band’s name sounds vaguely familiar — Lovespirals features guitarist Ryan Lum, late of goth faves Love Spirals Downwards, teamed with vocalist/instrumentalist Anji Bee. The name change isn’t gratuitous, either, for while Lum’s LSD work thrived on ethereal...

Borders is currently hosting Windblown Kiss in their Rock & Pop listening stations. If you haven’t heard the album yet, take this opportunity to preview it in it’s entirety at Borders now! This promotion will last until November 12th – just in time for your Christmas shopping.

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!

Lovespirals are currently attempting to recreate their fan email list, due to yet another computer meltdown at Lovespirals’ Headquarters (boo hoo). Anyone who has signed up since the new site launch (April 2002) should still be on the list, but older listees may have been lost in the shuffle. To make sure that you receive official Lovespirals updates, please go to the CONTACT US page to sign up now!

My old iMac really bit the dust, so I had to get a new one. That’s actually a pretty cool thing, except that I can’t import my contacts into this new email program. So… getting the email list back together is going to be a real pain in the tush! I can’t tell you how many times I have recreated the Lovespirals mailing list since joining the band. Sheesh! Computers! Man, being in a...

You can listen to an excellent audio interview conducted by DJ Carolee of KPSU in streaming Hi-Fi or Lo-Fi mp3 format on Lovespirals’ mp3.com page . Ryan and Anji discuss their recent West Coast tour, the new album, and much more with the lovely hostess of “A Strange Choice of Favorites.”

It’s been a week since we got back for our week on the road, and it’s taken me this long to finally have a chance to write here about it. Anji and I had a great time and want to thank everybody that came out to see us. And also big thanks go out to Mira for getting us off our “we’re too busy to tour” butts and on the road. Mira rocked each night, and whether or not your familiar...

A number of positive reviews have gone online at the following music sites: JazzReview.com: “With a touch of soft blues and world music motifs, this entry into the smooth jazz category is a surefire hit and should appeal to a wide listening audience. The music is refreshingly original and likeable, enjoyable in all ways. Ryan Lum is a master of guitar, his techniques fresh and pleasant, and the sensual...
