First is a listening party for both the new album and the Motherless Child EP on Tuesday, October 23rd at 7pm SLT. Then, on Saturday, October 27th, Lovespirals will perform for the first time in Second Life, also at 7 pm SLT on PodShow/SoHo Island. Ryan “Lumley” and Anji “Riel” will play an acoustic set of songs from all 3 of their albums. If you haven’t yet joined Second Life, now would be the time to do it! Lovespirals live events are few and far between…

Lovespirals to Attend New Media Expo
The band will be attending the New Media Expo in Ontario this weekend. I am accepting a People’s Choice Podcast Award for my work as a co-host of the all-girl PodShow podcaster talk show, ShowGirls, on Friday at 4pm in Expo Hall B. Lovespirals will be attending the RumorGirls/ExtremePods party tonight, which PodShow founder Adam Curry is apparently attending specifically to get a hug from me… Pix later?
Ryan and I will have copies of Long Way From Home with us, which we will be more than happy to autograph and sell for the low-low expo price of just $10! So please, come on up and say “Hi!”

Lovespirals' new album is mastered!
Anji and I spent this past weekend mastering our upcoming album, Long Way From Home, with Robert Rich in his studio in Mountain View, California. In addition to all the great locally grown food and wine we were treated to and the fun time we had hanging with Robert, the mastering came out really well. I mean really well. I can’t believe how nice it all sounds. This is quite exciting as mastering for me in the past has been primarily about trying to deal with audio deficiencies that were in my original mixes. I guess I’ve gotten better over the years, as there were very few such issues. Instead, Robert was able to focus on perfecting the sound, which he did an amazing job of. Thank you Robert (if you happen to read this)!
