Lovespirals announce their brand new digital-only release, This Truth EP, now on iTunes+, Amazon, and Last.FM. The duo discuss their halt on recording, potentially playing live with Shine and Mr. Meeble, a suggestion to improve the iTunes 8 Genius function, Anji being "obsessive compulsive" with playlists, Pandora's troubles with the Copyright Royalty Board, Blip.FM and it's similarities to Twitter, being #1 on Below Zero, their Drunk Rockers pix, an encounter with Long Beach City Mayor, Bob Foster, and their thoughts on the recent death of Pink Floyd keyboardist and founding member, Richard Wright.

You can buy the original version of the song from the lovely More soundtrack album. BTW, it was mentioned that "Great Gig in the Sky" was originally conceived for the Zabriskie Point Soundtrack, but it turns out that it was actually "Us and Them" Anji was thinking of -- another amazing song from Dark Side of the Moon. Read the WikiPedia article on Zabriskie Point film.

Ryan and Anji have been distracted by the new iPod 3G, checking out the music apps, making ringtones, and installing the podcasters iKit to make the podcast easily streamable from your iPod (or iPod Touch). Still, they've continued working on music and share a clip and a behind-the-music story of their latest song in progress. The band also chat about Geoff Smith's ringtone service, Last.FM paying royalties for song streaming, and meeting Brad of The National Pool in WOW. And, of course, they sneak in one more mention of Hungry Lucy, in particular, their song "Storm." Drats! Just realized we announced this as "#54" but counting the Lovespiralsgasms special episode, this would be #55.

Lovespirals Remix Contest Top 10

info@lovespirals.com (Lovespirals) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:41:43 -0700

At long last the band have settled on the winner and runner-up of the PLP Remix Contest for This Truth! We know that 60 some producers have been anxiously awaiting our decision since April 1st, and we're sorry to have kept them on pins and needles, but we needed time to sort through and really listen to all of the entries. There were quite a few really good mixes -- more than we even dreamed we'd get! We decided the best, most fun way to announce our faves would be with a podcast, sharing the music and our thoughts on the tracks. We hope that both the contest entrants and our podcast listeners will enjoy it. The remixes are presented in no particular order, except for the winner and runner-up; the runner-up is presented first and the winner is presented last. Thanks so much to all of the producers for their hard work and especially to DJ Puzzle of Peace Love Productions and SynthVox for throwing the contest for us!

This Truth (Kambronn Remix) - Runner Up
