There's a radio show on a local station here called, appropriately enough, The Funk Show, that had a 3 hr interview w/ founder/drummer Bill Curtis. He went through the whole history of him and the band including recounting performances in Durham (h…

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned but there's a few new ones here: 1) Art Blakey - Moanin 2) Lou Donaldson - Mr Shing-A-Ling 3) Stanley Turrentine - The Look of Love. It's kind of sappy w/ the string arrangements, but it has a nice …

As far as straight country-folk (no blues or other etcetera) I'd go with Dock Boggs. His compilation on the Revenant label is on the money. Yes. He does that Pretty Polly song which is the definition of a murder ballad. That song's also on the Sw…

Oh yeah...I forgot to pick up the flyers for upcoming events so keep me posted.

there was a 350lb woman with a mullet and a Ace Frehley T-shirt just layin in the aisle...all over the records and sh*t. Ha ha.. sounds like par for the course. I was in there the other week and this 18-yr-old kid was with his dad (older brother?),…

There's this local spot that DigDug (aka Al*x) and I go to where the owner is a Kiss Kollecting Kook but is an okay guy for the most part. But he's always doing stuff like this Dude's hat is ridiculous. He's usually pretty fair w/ prices though...e…

Can anyone tell me how involved the members of P-Funk were with other recordings on the Invictus label? That's them playing on the Chairmen Of The Board's Skin I'm In, a contractual obligation album on Invictus that turned out to be a left-fiel…

my old lady has an album that's supposedly recorded live at a black barbershop in Detroit. It's basically some Wild Man Steve/Redd Foxx type stuff from aroun 68 I'd say. But there's a band jamming ever so softly in the background and it's an inst…

Yeah I know it's a losing battle, but I try to get all the important solo joints (got the Eddie, the Fuzzy solo, the Bernie jawn - is there more than 1 from the 70s? I have on tape his album from the early 90s) I want to start to get into some of t…

As for the whole discography thing I've been working on it a while. If you're just going for OG lps it's attainable. I, myself, have it a little more bad than that and it's a daunting task. Yeah, all OG is what I'm looking for. I've got pretty …

Good, you should definately order it. Check the little shorty on the bottom right of the cover.

Maggot Brain photo: Tal Ross (guy w/ sun glasses and tassled jacket), Bernie Worrell (scrawny guy on the left), Tiki Fullwood (shorter guy in "The Harder They Come" style hat, Bill Nelson (the other taller guy). So who's the bald-headed guy abou…

I also agree w/ the Westbound statement you made. Their S/T LP is the first record that really blew my mind. It's my personal favorite LP of all time. I'd put Hardcore Jollies in a 2nd transitional period (1st being America Eats it's Young wher…

oops, he posted while I was writing. My favorite album that hasn't been mentioned is a Live CD I got in 96 that must not be in print anymore. It was recorded in 1971 in Michigan and it's nuts: 14 min version of Maggot Brain w/ the entire…

Can anyone tell which one is George in the band pic inside the fold of Maggot Brain? I can pick out Eddie Hazel, but that is it. None of them are George are any of the vocalists (the Parliaments) because they were signed to Invictus at the time. …

sup, im a latecomer to funkadelic and have been listening to nothing but "america eats its young" all week. LOVING it. I intend on checking the full catalogue. i actually got a question too, whose the first vocalist u hear on the track "we hurt too"…

Quote, unquote. Especially in reference to something un-PC.

But one request: stop putting your fingerprints and food-expiration stickers on the wax dude. And next time PM me before you take stuff to NPB Ha. Damn, the day dots are still on there. But, I have plenty of DJ fodder if you're interested. Open…

Capital City Star Singers - Jesus is on the Mainline. Anybody else have this. The nastiest, funkiest gospel record I've heard. soundclip plaese. Can't at the moment. I'm moving. I'll have to set the internet up at my new crib and find the r…

Meal: An entire Krispy Kreme dozen. I'd say I was hungover but I didn't actually sleep. It was the morning of my last day of highschool. Records: A thrift in the country. I'd estimate there were about 2000 records which the lady wanted me to get…

My Stanton turntable uses a separate 78RPM needle. It's pretty expensive too (around $60) Wow, ya'll are replying faster than I can think. I think this the way. I have a Stanton table. Did you get this at a musical instrument store or online? …

My grandfather passed (RIP) and in addition to some furniture he left me his records, many of which are 78s. I understand you need a 78 needle to play these. questions: There's no such thing as a 78 needle that would just screw into a modern day …

I remember the first time I heard my old man's Floaters LP I must've been 13 or so, but this line cracked me up: "Cancer and my name is Larry, huh. And I like a woman that loves everything and everybody. And you know what ladies, if you feel that …

Little known guitar geek fact: All those nasty rhythms on Funkadelic's S/T, Free Your Mind, and Maggot Brain Lps were played on a Rickenbacker (330 I believe) by Luscious Tawl Ross. After those albums he had some issues (see Syd Barret) and didn't …
