After a year's hiatus, the show has returned to celebrate the Lovely Ladies of Ryan Lum! Hee hee. This show has been a long time coming, just like the release of new CDs by two of Ryan's former collaborators, Suzanne Perry and Jennifer Ryan Wilde. I thought I'd put together a set in honor of we female vocalists that have worked with Ryan for your listening pleasure. As for the future of the show, I'm thinking I can do it monthly, and am already looking forward to the next edition, as I have more great music with female vocalists waiting in the wings...

Got some great feedback last time I shared Lovely Ladies with the Chillcast subscribers, so I couldn't resist sharing this one, too, particularly since it includes several electronica or crossover electro-pop goodies! There are some fantastic voices this episode and a nice range of moods and tempos. Love it.

Decided to share this episode with the Chillcast listeners, as well, so a few of you may get this twice. Sorry about that! You know, for months I debated whether it was better to do Chillcast twice a week or start a new show, and I'm still not entirely sure. Lovely Ladies is more on the rock and folk tip, but its generally still pretty "chill". Anyway, let me know what you think! This episode includes a great guest podcaster spot from Mike O'Hara.

Here's that 3rd episode I mentioned last week... I am launching a brand new project on March 5th, so that may have some affect on whether Lovely Ladies happens weekly or fortnightly, but I'm having a lot of fun, so I'm sure I'll keep doing them pretty regularly. Haven't selected an exact drop day (ie Tuesdays, Thursdays et al) so just keep checking back for more!
