Well its friday and have just been listening to this for the past 2 days. I got the incense out and I have forgotten how much I liked the early Funkadelic sound. I grew up with the first album but this is great. Outtakes from Westbound records.

This was caused by a combination of factors, f...

You want more cowbell, well you got it, along with total meltdown of the brain's chains that keep reality from slipping away.Listen to the sounds of crying babies, extreme wah-wah soloing, cries of "Goddamn hypocrite!"; laughter, cuckoo clocks...did I mention more cowbell? "More Power/Pussy/to The People" chanting is followed by farting noises.It climaxes with A-bomb explosions, silence...The w...

So many words have been spoken about the whole Parliafunkadelicment machine that sometimes its almost pointless to comment..But then again, what the heck..This particular gem comes from the Osmium sessions around 71'when George Clinton got the rights back for the "Parliament" name.What's remarkable about this album is the fact that its sounds more like Funkadelic than anything. Almost, as if i...

Spotted a woman dancing in place at a bus-stop today. She looked to be in her early 30s. She was dressed office-casual, and had iPod ear-buds in her ears. As I walked past, I caught her eye, pointed at my own ear, and raised my eyebrows. She actually smiled, and said in a surprisingly loud voice (I think it was the ear-buds), “Moby!” She added that the track was “We Are All Stars,” and wen

In 1989 I lived in New London,CT, worked as a roofer, DJ'ed at WCNI (Connecticut College), and lived in a house with 4 other DJ's from the station. All of us were long past finishing or getting kicked out of college. Needless to say music was pretty important to us and I learned an awful lot there. The characters were:Me: Mr.P-Funk, Hip Hop guy (listening then:X-clan, James Brown,PE,Black Heat...

The legend tells of the story of a formidable funk-fu fighter. One whose fierce fists could spin the most funkalicious grooves with the bombastic beauty of her booties. With one cut, she would funk your balls to the Mother Ship. With another, she would flaunt the fiercest funksters. Her name could be heard in all the 16 Corners of Funkland: the Funk-Fu Sister.Though the Funk-Fu Sister has forsa...

No,no..not those Sonics. No proto-grunge here. Just over a week ago I posted the title tune from this 1973 P-Funk record for Metal Wednesday and now I'm back with this proto-power ballad restyling (check the excellent rap interlude) of a 1959 New York doo wop record, licensed to Chess/Checker from the tiny Harvard label. The original was written by lead vocalist of the "original" Sonics, Will...

Please also check the excellent backstory on the vid from a dilligent youtuber:P-Funk opens the show with w...

This track has it all, an elastic groove, diamond cutting guitar and Bernie Worrell's funky funky keys. Mix in a healthy dose of goofy fun and you get a Funkadelic classic, no? And a classic pic courtesy of Lester Jonze
