“Hello” and “Welcome” to the the 2nd Annual Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Event. Have we got some serious love making/romance making/get your groove on/let’s do the wild thang music mixes in store for you this weekend!
Just in case you are not on my fav social networking site, Twitter, or have been living under a rock and haven’t heard, Cupid’s Hunt is where online DJs, or podcasters as we like to call ourselves, from all across the country get together and release music mixes in celebration of Valentine’s Day, the day of L-O-V-E.
Here at Rhythms In Black Satin you are in the perfect place to stay on top of ALL of the action that will be going on with the event this year. Starting today and throughout the weekend we’ll be updating this post with information, breaking news and links to all of the fine music mixes that will be available for you to download.

17. TGrundy a.k.a “Mr. Brilliant” – RIBS: “Cupid’s Hunt 2009 – Have A ‘Jazzy’ Valentine!”
Whew, this is looking soooooo good! 19 different podcast mixes for your V-Day enjoyment… so far. Somehow I don’t think it’s over yet, as a matter of fact I KNOW it isn’t. *smile* Keep checking back here at RIBS and listening in on Twitter for even more Cupid’s Hunt Valentine’s weekend musical goodies!
UPDATE #2:
We told you it was not over yet. AAMOF, one of the primary movers and shakers of the SuperFriends of Podcasting, her “Royal Highness” as I like to call her, DJ Diva, The Mixtress of R&B, was conspicuously absent yesterday. She had not been heard from since late Friday and we were left wondering what had happened. Was something wrong? Did she suddenly decide to quit podcasting? Of course, since it *was* Valentine’s Day, one of the SuperFriends (who shall remain nameless *smile*) speculated that her loving husband, The Political Assistant sent the twins away for the weekend and he had her ever so slightly restrained with red satin rope and was feeding her strawberries and whipped cream. LOL!
ANYWAY, as it turns out DJ Diva’s Cupid’s Hunt contribution got slightly delayed by some of the unexpected twists and turns of this thing called LIFE and then she chose to spend some quality time on V-Day with her family. And can’t nobody be mad at or question that choice!
So with all of that said Cupid’s Hunt now has its 20th mix available for your listening pleasure. And here’s a teaser: there will be at least 21 mixes (maybe even 22) You just gotta keep checking in here at Cupid’s Hunt HQ 2009!
18. DJ Diva – The Mixtress Of R&B: “Cupid’s Hunt: 80s Ladies Love”
UPDATE #3:
As I alluded to earlier, here is mix #21 in our Cupid’s Hunt Valentine’s Day celebration. A little something I was inspired to throw together that grew out of a V-Day/music conversation on Twitter.
19. TGrundy – RIBS: “Cupid’s Hunt: My Funny Valentine-A Baker’s Dozen”

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 [...]
The “Boys” Are Back In Town…
Remember the Four Brothers Beats blog? Well, the boys are back! BUT... not quite in the way you may have been expecting. It's, how shall we say, "the same, but different!"

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 ...
