Funk on Friday

[redc]

Just for Kevo who earlier sent me a text saying "Wot no Funk On Friday?"

Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yogw44ehpOk

Slightly better than your usual offering!

(just kidding - I love this actually)

I know it's not Friday, but it is Kevo's birthday, so here's some Cake:

This was absolutely blinding on Monday, Kevo's birthday.

The old gits still got it ;-)

[BTW as a bonus, I've ha this on my mind for some reason I can't fathom:

With the Hop Farm announcement there was only one contender for this week's spotlight, so with happy memories of old money influenced album cover immersion (I'll say no more), here's the Clinton who did inhale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c1UFDV0 ... re=related

Do you dance to funk music at home?

I don't know if its funk but its definitely funky:

There could only be one artist to feature this week. This was the soundtrack to my 16th birthday party (I didn't own any other remotely danceable music) and possibly an apt tune for Rebekakakah Wade:

If that's a bit too much of a '70's marathon, how about this nifty modern remix of another tune from the same album which bears little resemblance to the original, but I think is rather good:

MV finally manage to nail down a decent (but quite different) version of their best as yet unreleased song:

I know it's not Friday & this isn't exactly funk but it does quote the godfather.

In honour of our most recently departed forumite (til he returns) here's one of my favourite bits of live post punk (in the temporal sense) rock ever recorded:

No FoF this week as I'll be far away from civilisation up in the land of Tanhillshire.

Seeing as it's not Friday, this isn't Funk either, but something loosely related to the Olympics (it might even appear in some form during the opening ceremony as Boyle's used it before)(ps - contains no "lager"):

"Today
We laughed
Waiting for a train
Into the city
For a few
Seconds "

I can picture Cameron as the man who threw his arms around me, Bozo using the whisky flask walkie talkie & Seb with the tattoo

[I now know why I never listened to The Pop Group. Interesting to hear if anyone enjoyed that track.]

Back to proper dancey material (you'll see what I did there) with a classic wodge of stomping electro mutant disco, and Nona Hendrix to boot (play loud, or fuck off): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txmhqkj8qB8


...and a possibly interesting remix I've just discovered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2LpAenjEDE

Ooooh Yes - funky remix : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkjy2x1B ... re=related



..and whilst I'm here, it would be rude not to plug my mate's new funky 45, out this week, as he was the inspiration for this thread in the first place, and pointed me towards the above link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLNtqdA8nJc
