RIBS TPTD: Disco Party-Donna, Double Exposure, The Trammps…
Filed under: Disco, R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, podcasts/mixes, soul
I need something uptempo this week! Get ready for a disco-fied edition of RIBS…
Not going to get too chatty here with the post notes this week (really, I promise {smile}). Wanted to give you something fast and uptempo this week as a change of pace from a lot of the mellow stuff we’ve had lately. That and the fact that next week we have a veritable tidal wave of beautiful, classic love ballads we’re cookin’ up for the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Collaboration event.
So, I did a little searching through the archives and pulled out three of my fav groups from the disco days when I used to hang out in The City back in the day (that’s New York City for you non-east coasters; the native New Yorkers knew where I meant instinctively {smile}). Ahhhhh, those wild, wonderful nights at “the Garage”, Leviticus and, of course, Studio 54!
On the menu this week are:
OK, time for a little disco party, RIBS style (see told you I wouldn’t “chat” long today!) as we present to you…

Filed under: Disco, Funk, Podcast Collabs, R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes, soul
Whew, this Soulbrotha guy is tougher than I thought! I keep throwin’ some of my best stuff at him and he just counters and hits me back as hard as I’ve hit him (actually, sometimes a little harder).
After two rounds…
Summertime At The Grill - Soulbrotha vs. TGrundy mix #1
Summertime At The Grill - Soulbrotha vs. TGrundy mix #2
we’re all even. Damn! I originally thought I’d have finished him off by now.
OK, here goes the final and decisive round…
“Soulbrotha! You’re going down!”

Wow, finally over. Now all I have to do is wait for the announcement of the judges decision and I can claim my championship.
WHAT!!! It’s a DRAW?!
Hmmmm, well I don’t know if I agree with that but a good sport always plays by the rules and should never complain. Soulbrotha, you are are worthy opponent. One of the best I’ve ever gone up against. But…
I WANT A REMATCH!
Say, Labor Day weekend? This time it’ll be Slow Jams and Ballads (and maybe a little Jazz).
Cool. Better train hard, next time I’m going for a knockout! {smile}
Enjoy!

RIBS TPTD: Summertime At The Grill - Soulbrotha vs TGrundy, Round #2…
Filed under: Disco, Funk, Podcast Collabs, R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes, soul
Uppercut!
Jab, jab, jab!
Left hook!
Oww! (Straight right to the ribs…)
Hey! glad to see ya back here. The above was some of the “action” from yesterday’s Summertime At The Grill - Soulbrotha vs. Tgrundy mix #1. He and I got engaged into a “can you top this!” battle as we were collaborating on a playlist for RIBS this week. Well, one mix turned into three and it’s action reminiscent of those great heavyweight battles between Ali and Frazier… and YOU get to be the judge!
Well, the second round is about to begin… time for me to “float like a butterfly, and STING LIKE A BEE!”
Ding, ding…

RIBS TPTD: Summertime At The Grill - Soulbrotha vs TGrundy…
Filed under: Disco, Funk, Podcast Collabs, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes, soul
Ready for some FIREWORKS for the 4th of July! As Michael Buffer would say, “Let’s Get Ready To R-U-M-B-L-E!!!”
So, my good friend Soulbrotha (of the fantastic 4BB blog, that’s “Four Brothers Beats” if you don’t know) and I decided to do a little collaboration on a playlist. He would choose a song or two then I would choose a song or two and we’d end up with a nice little funky playlist for you all to enjoy while you were outside enjoying your holiday weekend. Sounds innocent enough, right.
Well…
When you have two guys that enjoy music as much as he and I do (and have no problems boasting about their knowledge of that music {smile}) you know what inevitably happens… it quickly became a game of “can you top this!” with each of us trying to out do the other one with his next musical selections. And, of course, there was much trash talking along the way! Whoo-Hoo, I haven’t had this much fun making a playlist in a long time! Did I say, “a playlist”? Ha! What started out as a single playlist has evolved into a total of 3 playlist mixes, since neither one of us wanted to stop nor concede to the other. I’m posting the first mix today and the other two tomorrow and Saturday so you’ll have plenty of music to take you through your holiday weekend.
OK! Ding, ding, round #1. “Let’s get it on!”
