The Chilldown Period - Episode Eight - Music for the General - 8 October 2009

 It's that time of the month for yet another release of the Chilldown Period by yours truly - the UBLF. We've got fourty-six minutes (plus) of some grooved out tunes for you from some dang good artists! 

 First up, as always, I'd like to thank he ambienteer for allowing me to use one of his songs.  Up next are some artists/individuals who helped me find artists willing to allow me to use their music: HipGnosis, Kieron James, Auditory Canvas, Solipsistic Nation, and Just Plain Ant. 

 This podcast is dedicated to my friends' little boy who recently underwent surgery, and whom I've nicknamed "the General." He's an adorable five month old whose cheeks hide his chin. His hazel (for now) eyes are always searching and his laugh will tear down the thickest of walled hearts! Here's to getting better, General!

Now to the list o' artists:

- Duality - Nobody Move

Dublicator - Lonely Phantom - Deep Roots EP - Deep in Dub - CC

- Virelay - The Bind - The Comfort is Confusion EP

Film Noir World
"Something Dark" (mp3)

Photo to be used for the next podcast

 Here's the winner: Picture 6 (I believe Weather Pending helped put it over the top... by their vote).  I will use Picture 7 for my next podcast cover.

 I'll tinker with it tonight and show you what I will come up with.

Thanks everyone for your input!

 Look for the next podcast out on the 8th.

Photos to possibly be used for next podcast cover - 26 September 2009

It's coming upon that time for me to start getting serious about my next podcast and for the choosing of my next cover! There are twelve pictures to choose from and for this I will be using a survey in the sidebar to make things easier. 

(@WeatherPending throws in their votes for Photos 6 and 9 - I think that takes 6 up to 3 votes?)

The Chilldown Period - Episode Seven - 10 September 2009

It's that time of month for the next episode of the Chilldown Period to grace the interwebs! We've got more great music from dang good artists from around the globe waiting for you to download and stream into your ears.

Just a few corrections need to be made, because I'm too lazy to go back and record to correct myself.

Just Plain Ant's new album is called "The New Black" not "A New Black" as I said in the show.

Here's Summer Rain Recordings' statement on donations made to charity:

"Summer Rain Recordings, established in the summer of 2007, is a record label with a difference. Every artist signed to the label donates a minimum of 5% of their royalties for every release to NextAid, or a charity of their choice, and we match their percentage donation from the label profits from the release.
ioda, our distributor, also donate 25% of their fees for each of our releases to next aid too."

Hopefully I didn't misspeak about this on my podcast. 

I'm sure there are a few more mistakes, and if you happen to find them email me at ublfsounds@gmail.com. 

If you want a copy of the bed music used for my podcasts, you can catch it here: Ambienteer's albania.

We have a winner in the cover contest! The bottom cover has been chosen by a count of four to two! Thanks so much for your input and putting up with my incessant retweets!

Look for Episode 7 to be out the second week of September (first if I'm feeling overachieverish!).

Once again, thanks to all.

Cover Choice for my Next Podcast - 9 August 2009

Hey, Everyone!

I'm back (I know, so soon) and I need a bit of help.

I've designed two covers for my next episode of the Chilldown Period and I'm at a crossroads as to which one I need to pick.

My beautiful wife and I traveled to a local destination to take pictures of one of the forks of the Snake River. I picked this spot because of the sheer beauty of the area. There was a spillway that seemed to say "take a picture of me!"

I obliged and these two designs are what I have come up with. You can tell me which one you like by emailing me at ublfsounds@gmail.com or by sending me a message at twitter.com/ublf.

Thanks for everything!

(two votes from my wife and a friend for the top picture, four votes for the bottom - @ambienteer, @kieronjames, @leisureaddicts, @slacklineradio)
