The newest episode of Chillin’ with Lovespirals lists our Top 5 Downloads, which were quite a surprise to me, I must say! I also announce our digital sales vs CD sales ratio… maybe not as much of a surpise to us, but may be to some fans. We also chat about recent band happenings and share the intro to our latest song in progress. And if you’ve already heard the podcast, yes, introoutro.com...

Some friends of ours offered us tickets to the sold out Zero 7 show at the Hollywood Bowl last night just a few hours beforehand. We both love that venue, so even though we don’t own any of their CDs, we decided to go check it out. I don’t know why I haven’t bought their albums yet, really. I’ve liked everything that I’ve heard. I really, really like the new stuff with Jose Gonzalez....

Started working on the 4th song for the new album last night. It’s a tune we’ve been writing over the past two months or so. It began life as a fairly fast tempo rocker with a funky edge, but being Lovespirals, we had to come up with a sad, slow part, which is the intro we just recorded. I have to say the song is nothing like anything we’ve done before, while still managing to sound like us....

If you’re a listener of Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code, then you may have heard this week that he has proposed a new PodShow LA drama starring the two of us. If not, you just heard it from me. Pacific Coast Hellway’s Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff is currently brainstorming ideas for this romantic comedy drama program. Should be a hoot, with him at the helm! Lovespirals may write the theme song, which...

I’ve been reading Jeanette’s first children’s book this week, Tanglewreck. I wouldn’t say that it was terribly different from her adult fiction, aside from the lack of overt sensuality her stories normally have. The main difference I’ve noted is that she isn’t being quite as mythical this time around, but more sci-fi, if that makes any sense. She’s still spinning a yarn,...

Every time I tune in to Pandora, they play “I’ve Been Thinking” by Handsome Boy Modeling School. I think it’s my new theme song. I had heard the name of the band before, but I don’t think I ever heard their music. I like this track, though. Guess I’ll have to check out more. “Slide, slide, slippety slide…”
Ah… that’s Cat Power on vox. Interesting....
