Just saw in a message over on the SoulCommune site that Buddy Miles passed away on Tuesday. Here is the official message from his family on BuddyMiles.com:

It is with tremendous sadness that we must share with all Buddy’s fans around the world that Buddy passed away peacefully and quietly at his home last night (Tuesday, February 26, 2008) in Austin, Texas surrounded by his family. Buddy will be greatly missed as a wonderful person and as a truly gifted musician who gave so much to so many through the years.

The family ask for your prayers and that you respect their privacy. A tribute show will be announced within a short period of time and all are welcome to come and share in the magic that was Buddy Miles.

Fans, friends and family will all join in a celebration of the life and music of this talented and big hearted musician, so we hope everyone can be a part of this fond farewell.

God Bless each of you, Buddy truly appreciated EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.

Also, here is the obituary from the Los Angeles Times:
Buddy Miles, 60; Drummer with Hendrix, voice of California Raisins

Rest In Peace, Buddy.

SoulTrackin’ – SoulCommune Update #1…

Sometimes things happen. Sometimes things happen that are defining moments. Defining moments for an individual, or a group of people in particular, or even a community in general.Sometimes we miss or at least overlook these moments, that is until they get so big and all encompassing that even Ray Charles could see it. Then, every now and then, we can perceive the event, sense that “something big, something exciting is going on here” as it is being born and starts to unfold.

I believe that the SoulCommune community is just such an event… something wonderful is happening over there!

I just found out about the site a few days ago and joined up as member #215, the membership has more than doubled since that time. Well, since these are the kinds of things that pique my interest, I thought I would follow the growth of the SoulCommune site on a daily basis for the next week or so and see just how big (and fast) thing grows.

Love Hangover (Cupid’s Hunt) and SoulCommune…

I apologize for the lack of activity here on NetInfoWeb this week. To be honest I think I’ve been suffering a little bit of a “love Hangover” from the flurry of activity that surrounded the Cupid’s Hunt podcast event of last week/weekend. Whew, what a ride that was!

Anyway, slowly but surely we’re getting back to normal and we’ll be posting our ‘SoulSites” discoveries for you to check out and our weekly “Stars of the Podiverse” podcast roundup.

One Thing I did want to mention is a brand new (to me at least) soul music community/social site called: SOULCOMMUNE

[HTML1]

This is a very well put together site that looks like it will be THE place to go online for those of us who are soul music fans. I’m sure I’ll be talking about this place a lot more in the near future, but for now go check it out I’m sure you’ll like it!

The Big La has surfaced!

Contrary to the popular rumor, Mrs. Kelley did not have him tied up somewhere feeding him grapes as a part of his Valentine’s Day gift! {smile} It seems that some last minute technical glitches caused him to have to perform some major surgery on the machine. Well, the good news is that the patient made it through the procedure with flying colors and has been given a clean bill of health. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I can present to you…

Todd Kelley’s (aka the “Big La”) – Love Hop: The Cupid’s Hunt Mix – 2008

As we’ve been tellin’ ya… it’s not just Valentine’s “Day”, it’s Valentine’s “Weekend”. The good vibes and the great music never stops!

Cupid’s Hunt: Actually Starts On Wednesday!

No I didn’t go messing around with the calender and chop a day off of this week so we could get to the big event that much faster! (although, to be honest, I did consider it {smile})

I just needed to remind everyone that the “man”, the one they call the “Sensei” (but I still like referring to him as “The PodFather” {smile}), our very own EJ Flavors is going to be kicking off the festivities with a special Valentine’s Day, Cupid’s Hunt Old School Wednesday mix!

He tells me it should be ready sometime just after midnight EST. That’s not too many hours from now. Go EJ, Go EJ, Go! Get the party started off right!

Cupid’s Hunt: Update – 2 Days and Counting…

Cupid’s Hunt. “Looking for podcasts… in all the right places!”

Two days left before the big event (actually, less than 48 hours considering the time this is being written) and the excitement is starting to build!

People are really getting excited about this and even more participants have joined since the last update. ANNOUNCING:

Nikki, aka Infinite Ink
and
Anji, aka AnjiBee of “The Chillcast” podcast and Lovespirals fame

Welcome to the party ladies. I am so happy to have you join the Cupid’s Hunt podcast event!

At the end of the last update I promised to talk about the “SoulSites Podiverse” webring. For those of you who are not familiar with webrings essentially it is code that a webmaster adds to their blog or website (in the form of a navigation menu) that makes it easy to move from one site to the next site. All of the websites that have joined in the ring are thus connected in this fashion.

Just about all of the podcasters participating in Cupid’s Hunt have joined the webring thus making it very simple for you to “hunt down” the many excellent podcasts we all have created. In most cases just look for the Cupid’s Hunt logo (you know what that looks like by now, right? {smile}) and you should find the webring navigation links just below it. Many of the sites have placed the these links in their sidebar, but if you don’t see it there scroll down to the bottom of the website page as this is a common location for the menu also.

Cupid’s Hunt: Participating Podcasters – Updated…
(new additions since last update are in bold)

  1. anewlis - i am anewLis
  2. EJ Flavors – Old School Wednesday
