Filed under: CupidsHunt, Holiday, Podcast Collabs, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes
It ain’t over yet… the Hunt CONTINUES! Another great event for our 4th consecutive year, but we’re not satisfied yet. That’s why we’re continuing the BIG Event all week long through the 3-day President’s Day holiday weekend! Check out the RIBS post, Cupid’s Hunt 2011: The Hunt Has Begun!, for links to all 26 mixes available so far…
Cupid’s Hunt 2011: The Look of Love – A Baker’s Dozen
Filed under: A Bakers Dozen, CupidsHunt, Podcast Collabs, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes
A second entree from the RIBS kitchen for the Cupid’s Hunt event. This time we’re gonna do something a little different and give the “Baker’s Dozen” treatment to one of favorite ballads/love songs: The Look Of Love.
Originally composed by Burt Bacharach and Hal David performed by Dusty Springfield, this song first appeared in the 1967 spoof James Bond film Casino Royale.
Since then the song has been covered many times by a variety of artists. As a matter of fact I do remember seeing somewhere that “The Look Of Love” is number 10 on the list of the top ten most covered songs of all time. Quite a lot of versions! But for our purposes just 13 cover versions will do (12 actually since we start off the mix with the original sung by Ms. Springfield).
So, let’s get to it and take a look… at The Look Of Love. RIBS style. A Baker’s Dozen style.
Enjoy!

Update#1 Sunday, 02/13/2011 @11:45am…
At this point, we are well into our Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration event for Valentine’s Day. Once, again the guys & gals out there who live and breath music did not disappoint. There are some very, very nice mixes that have been released so far. I hope you’ve had a chance to sample some of this great music by now.
As promised, here is the first update to catch you up on what’s been released since this was first posted…
14. Anji Bee: ChillCast #253-Cupid’s Hunt 4 (Anji Bee dot com)
15. Ricky Mac: 4th Annual Cupid’s Hunt Valentine’s Mix – Do You Love Me? (bajanrascals.podomatic.com)
16. TGrundy: Cupid’s Hunt 2011: Lionel-LOVE! (Rhythms In Black Satin)
Also, at this time, I’d like to take time out to mention and make note of a few members of my music family that for various reasons had to cancel out of the BIG Event at the last minute. IMHO, it just doesn’t feel right to be doing a Cupid’s Hunt Collaboration without them… and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna start now {smile}. So, with that said and with the fact that love, love music and the spirit of Valentine’s Day is timeless, I’m reaching back to the CH2010 event and presenting their past Cupid’s Hunt efforts here this year so their presence (and gift of music) will be accounted for. Nikki, Fresh, DarrenKeith & Jason I miss you guys this year but your spirit and music is still a part of all we do!
17. Fresh: Cupid’s Hunt 2010 (Love Makes Me An Instrument – It Tunes Me Up! (Vibes and Scribes)
18. DarrenKeith: 2010 MyLoveForMusic Cupid’s Hunt Edition (My Love For Music)
19. Nikki: Cupid’s Hunt: Affliction of Affection Mix (Soulrific Podcast Show)
20. Jason: BSOTS 098 - Another One For Beth: The Cupid’s Hunt Edition… (Radio BSOTS)
Update#2 Tuesday, 02/15/2011 @6:30am…
Well, I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s day yesterday! I actually meant to post this update last night but I had to take some time out to enjoy my own V-Day celebration over here too {smile}. Anyway, after a fast & furious bunch of releases on Friday and a slower Saturday & Sunday, Monday Valentine’s Day saw the flood gates open up once again.
Here are the latest mixes now available as a part of the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration event…
21. DJ Hyjak: Cupid’s Hunt 2011 - A Hyjak Radio Valentine (DJ Hyjak on Facebook)
22. DJ Diva: Cupid’s Hunt Monday Mixtape: Prince Slow Jams (The Mixtress of R & B)

26. TGrundy: Cupid’s Hunt 2011-The Look Of Love-A Baker’s Dozen (Rhythms In Black Satin)
Hopefully, I didn’t miss anybody (promise to get ya in the next update if I did).
And, again, we’re still not done yet! One weekend is not enough for the BIG Event, so we’re keeping it open all week long all the way though the long, 3-day Presidents Day holiday weekend coming up!
Keep checking in here at RIBS and also over at “CH Command Central” also known as the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration page over on Facebook.
After all, if you are not listening to a Cupid’s Hunt podcast mix as a part of your Valentine’s Day celebration… why even bother being in love?
Cupid’s Hunt 2011: Lionel-LOVE!
Filed under: CupidsHunt, Podcast Collabs, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes
Hey everybody. Well, it’s that time of year again, Valentine’s Day! And over here in the RIBS Kitchen you know what THAT means… it’s time for the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration event where DJs and Podcasters from all across the country and many different parts of the world unite to release love music mixes to make your V-Day celebration extra special. Of course, I’ll have a lot more to say about what we like to refer to around here as the BIG Event in my annual “Let The Hunt Begin” post which I’ll post late Thursday or early Friday. Right now I want to let you get into this first RIBS Cupid’s Hunt mix without much further delay.
This year I’m turning the RIBS CH spotlight on Lionel Richie. Now if you’re a soul music lover he needs very little to no introduction… one of the great artists to come out of the Motown Records label, one of the driving forces behind the super group The Commodores who later went on to have a sterling solo career, and one of the preeminent singer/songwriters of this generation. His ballads made famous with The Commodores are legendary: “Easy”, “Three Times A Lady”, “Still”, “Zoom”, songs we are all very familiar with. However, for this look at Lionel I took most of the selections for the mix from his career as a solo artist to shine the light on some of his later work that maybe you have not heard before (or at least as much as some of his earlier work. Of course, there are a couple of my favorites from his Commodores days, but for the most part sit back, relax and let Lionel, the solo artist, get you in the mood for love!

RIBS TPTD: Summer Heat – Too Hot, parts 1 & 2
Filed under: Funk, R&B, RIBS, Summer Heat, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Winter. Cold. Snow. AAARRRGGGHHH!
There is snow and cold EVERYWHERE it seems. I didn’t think anything could be worse than the winter of 2010 but obviously I was wrong. There’s snow in Dallas and Houston, Texas (it don’t even look right writing THAT!) Snow in Atlanta, GA. Hell, even the Chicago public school system had it’s first snow day cancellation in 12 YEARS!
{sigh} I want to see the street curbs in my neighborhood again. I want some sunshine. I WANT SOME HEAT!
Well, since I can’t control the weather (but, boy, if I could…) I’ve done IMHO the next best thing, I’ve put together a mix of “summer” songs that will hopefully make us forget about all of this winter mess (at least for awhile) and transport us to those beautiful, warm summer days/nights that we so desperately long for.
OK, let’s all do like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz… close our eyes, click our heels together 3 times and say, “There’s no place like summer, there’s no place like summer, there’s no place like summer…”
