Anji LIVE on Chillcuts Sunday
Just thought I’d mention that I’m going live on Chillcuts Radio this Sunday to premier a brand new feature with one of my favorite bands, Sunburn in Cyprus. I will be talking with band founder, Ulli Conrad, as I preview their new album. The feature will run twice, the first time at 4pm PST and then again at 6pm, with me deejaying a chilled selection of independent and indie label electronica bands in between. I may log in a little earlier for a set beforehand, too…
Tune in to listen directly via live365 or through the “listen” link at chillcuts.com. If you’re on MySpace, please join our Chillcuts Group to comment on the station, recommend music or just chit chat!

Editor’s Pick on CNET’s Download.com
Lovespirals are now CNET’s new music.download.com. In fact, we were the editor’s pick on 5/6/2004, with the following editorial commentary:
The smooth grooves conjure comparisons to Portishead and Everything But the Girl. Combining jazzy torch-song vocal stylings with modern trip-hop sounds and rhythms, Lovespirals craft an infectious and exotic down-tempo sound that you might hear playing in an upscale New York club or Parisian underground lounge.
Lovespirals VS Rick Springfield
Anji was recently quizzed about favorite music by the Voices and Visions
website. You can read her responses, just below Rick Springfield’s, here.
