Here are the “FAQs” about the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Event:

Q1. OK, so what exactly is “Cupid’s Hunt”?

A1. “Cupid’s Hunt” (or CH for short) is a collaboration project of music podcasters and music fans in celebration of Valentine’s Day. On this day all of the folks who are participating have agreed to release and make available for download (MP3 format) a music and/or audio podcast with a Valentines Day theme. This year Valentine’s Day (February 14) is on a Thursday.

Q2. Why the name “Cupid’s Hunt”? What does *that* mean?

A2. The name “Cupid’s Hunt” came out of a late night/all night brainstorming session on Twitter. “Cupid”, the symbol of Love/Valentine’s Day and “Hunt”, meaning to search for. When you put them together and apply the phrase to the world of podcasting you have a “search for music online”. Or, as the CH project has been subtitled: “Searching for Love Music… In All The Right Places!”

Q3. Oh OK, now I get it. How do I get involved with the Cupid’s Hunt project.

A3. Easy. Just make a music and/or audio podcast with a Valentine’s Day theme, good love, bad love, want love, hate love… it doesn’t matter, go where ever your creativity takes you. Once your CH podcast is finished we want you to post it online on Valentine’s Day, Thursday, February 14, 2008.

Q4. How will readers who visit my site know my podcast is part of this project?

A4. Glad you asked! There are several ways that your readers will associate your podcast with the Cupid’s Hunt Project:

We have a Cupid’s Hunt logo that we are asking you to post on your site at least two weeks prior to the event.
Each participant is asked to start off the Title of your CH post with “Cupid’s Hunt:”, and to also tag their CH post with the keyword “cupidshunt”. (no quotes on the keyword or the phrase in your post Title, of course).
NetInfoweb.com, our official Cupid’s Hunt “Headquarters”, will be promoting the event and all of the podcasters/blogs involved in the days leading up to the event.
We also have a webring that we are asking all participating sites to join. This will make the “hunt” easier by giving folks an easy way to move from one site to the next in order to find all of the podcasts.

Q5. Where do I get the Cupid’s Hunt logo?

A5. The logo can be downloaded here: Download Cupid’s Hunt Logo

Q6. How do I join the webring?

A6. The webring is called “SoulSites Podiverse”. The signup page is here: Webring Signup Page

Q7. How do I contact NetInfoWeb.com to give them information about my podcast?

A7. There are a few different contact methods: Send an email to TGrundy [at] gmail.com, or contact me on Twitter (tgrundy), or leave a comment on this post. Please let us know your CH podcast info by noon on Wednesday, February 13, 2008 so we can get it in the promotional post.

All That Jazz: In Celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month

I don’t talk about my love for jazz enough on this blog so I figure jazz appreciation month is the perfect time to do so. I have to admit that my knowledge is lacking. Mama Vivrant Thang was never really into jazz so it wasn’t played much around the house. She did love Kenny G though and [...]

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect

Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
