The Chola- Best of 2008 (HTML→MP3)

Wow! This year has flown by. It seems like just yesterday that I was struggling to compile the "Best of 2007." As tough as that was, compiling the Best of 2008 was an even larger undertaking. I have such an emotional connection with so much of the music that I pick for this show, that going back through it all is almost like time traveling back to the feelings that I was experiencing that particular month. It is a pretty cool experience, but, an exhausting one at the same time. After perusing through my catalog of downtempo, chillout, bossas/ sambas, and lounge tunes from the past year, I chose my favorites from each episode...

The Chola- Happy Hour For The Soul (HTML→MP3)

I think a lot of us have been overwhelmed by the darkness that tends to make its way in to our lives from time to time. As Americans, every time we turn on the TV lately, we seem to be reminded of it. A scary economy, a wild election year, loss of jobs, bad weather...WHATEVER... it seems to be everywhere. In this month's downtempo podcast, I have really worked to put together a show with songs that just put a smile on my face... I hope it does the same for each of you. Take some time this weekend, say a prayer for someone that needs it, do something nice for a complete stranger, snuggle with the one that you love most (it's SO good for the soul,) read a book, take a nap, pour a drink, listen to some positive music, and hang out with friends and family. Enjoy a "Happy Hour for the Soul," be happy, and remember, from darkness... comes light. This month's podcast is dedicated to Christopher "Casper" Venuti and the friends and family he leaves behind. I hope angels dig beatboxing as much as we did. I raise my glass of Vodka Soda with a Twist of Lemon... for you. For tracklist and more visit http://chola.podomatic.com
