That and the TV footage of Funkadelic performing "Wars of Armegeddon" were the best parts.

no interest in any of the spinoff act stuff?
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 21:59 (seven years ago) link
Nice list Alfred! Please indulge me to add a few of my own favorites...
Free Alterations - From the Computer Games George Clinton solo record. Quite possibly my favorite thing he ever did.
I Got a Thing, You Got a Thing, Everybody's Got a Thing - From the Funkadelic album.
Bop Gun - From Funkentelechy
Cosmic Slop (live version from Hardcore Jollies) - Completely different song than the other one, and IMHO it's far better
Red Hot Momma - From Standing On the Verge, whooo this is hot stuff
In Da Kar - Standout song from the recent Funkadelic comeback album

The P-Funk live album ("Live: P-Funk Earth Tour) is great.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:36 (seven years ago) link
ha I remember my brother coming to visit once and asking me if I had this song and I was like "uh which one" because there are at least four officially released versions of it
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:44 (seven years ago) link
It's one of my favourite P-funk riffs!
― Working night & day, I tried to stay awake... (Turrican), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:51 (seven years ago) link
"Liquid Sunshine" is so good.
― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:52 (seven years ago) link
the standout track on that album imo
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:54 (seven years ago) link
Ha, I've actually had 'Liquid Sunshine' in my head today, but my favourite track on Motor Booty Affair is the title track.

I think my favorite cover is Hardcore Jollies... I just love all the purple and the composition is really dynamic. Absolutely idiosyncratic, one of a kind visuals that were just right for the music.

Funny that I just listened to a podcast on him 2 or 3 days agohttps://www.designfreakspodcast.com/episodes/2019/2/22/pedro-bellcomes from February this year. One of a series on art5ists mainly to do with music.

Pedro did something that is really rare imo, he made sitting down to listen to an album a real absorbing event. I can remember getting those mid-period Funkadelic albums, sitting down to listen to the album, and just poring over the liner notes and comic panels and hyper-detailed portraits and sleeve designs while listening, it was like entering another world for 35-40 minutes, not doing anything else. A proto-"multimedia" magic marker experience. From record to record there were references, running jokes, characters, recurring themes - a narrative. And not a narrative like today's where the focus is on the performer and their persona, but on this whole other weird alternate universe that mashed together horror movies, comic books, science fiction, blaxploitation, mysticism, conspiracy theories, African American lit, pornography, made-up slang, it's just so rich. There are not a lot of times I can recall where I would listen to an album and *not do anything else*, because it wasn't just an album, it had this whole other hyper-detailed (and funny!) aspect to it. Clinton got other guys later on that did their own version of this, but Bell was the originator and the best imo.

H/T to Ned for sending this to my Twitter feed:
Funkadelic LP artist Pedro Bell once told me a woman, Cathy Abel, designed the official Funkadelic logo. When I shared this years ago with folks, misogynists & non-believers thought I was making ish up. Last wknd, while looking in “El-Lay”’s P-archives, look what I found (‘72)... pic.twitter.com/DMXESax2Re— DJ Soul Sister (@djsoulsister) October 7, 2019

Saw 82 years old George Clinton and current version of Parliament Funkadelic at the Lincoln Theatre in DC . George was having fun, and the band was too. Sure I could nitpick them doing House of Pain “Jump Around “ rather than a PFunk deep cut , but George seemed into that cover . When I first saw em way back when I was bored a bit by instrumental solos , and decades later the same. One horn player did riffs from Fiddler on the Roof and Hava Nagila . But when they got funky, and the woman vocalist was singing well, and the horns, keyboard, guitars were grooving , it was one nation under a groove .
