the term "funky" was used by New Orleans jazz + R&B musicians long before the days of James Brown, and the most definitive funk elements (heavy backbeat + bass, syncopation/Latin rhythms) can be traced back to the early 20th century music of New Orleans
I realize that, but to my ears the post-JB definition of (capital-f) FUNK basically overwhelmed all that came before

"Black Water" is cool, don't need to hear it every day but solid groove, kind of my go-to pick for before-and-after Doobies as microcosm for early vs. late CR. Y'all kinda sold me on "Woah, We're The Doobies Now" instead, but "Black Water"... just fine. Maybe the acapella thing goes on a few too many rounds and becomes showoffy rather than a delightful change-up in the mix.

wondering if it's worth the energy to sit and chop up WAV files to make the funky dixieland acapella the basis of an entire 40-minute "concept" megamix

Just got back from a long-ass driving trip, listened to cr throughout the east/midwest. Heard "Behind Blue Eyes" seven times. Not complaining, but jeez, I'm pretty sure they recorded a few other songs.
Also, that acapella bit in "Black Water" is the worst and least defensible occurrence of music in all of human history.

so....i don't know WHY anybody would go into the Spotify playlist of the top 500 songs and deleted over 300 songs, but they did. thankfully, I had the full playlist backed up elsewhere and have restored it, and the playlist is no longer collaborative since apparently I can't trust people to not fuck with it.
― birdman junior dad (some dude), Thursday, 28 August 2014 13:45 (ten years ago) link
it's kind of a flaw w/ spotify imo
seems to happen w/ any big poll playlist
― ╲╱\/╲/\╱╲╱\/\ (gr8080), Thursday, 28 August 2014 14:31 (ten years ago) link
i can't even figure out a plausible motive for doing that in the first place. why bother? i only made the playlist collaborative in the first place so that people could add songs from the top 100 rollout if i was posting results on my phone and couldn't update the playlist myself. so i have no prob w/ turning off the collab option, could've done that earlier.
― birdman junior dad (some dude), Thursday, 28 August 2014 14:34 (ten years ago) link
I just looked at that playlist and now it's completely empty, 0 songs.
― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Thursday, 28 August 2014 14:44 (ten years ago) link
my assumption is that ppl make the (very easy) mistake of thinking that once they "follow" a playlist and it appears in their list of playlists (under MY MUSIC) it is a version that only they see
― ╲╱\/╲/\╱╲╱\/\ (gr8080), Thursday, 28 August 2014 14:50 (ten years ago) link
anyone else having that problem? i put in 469 songs over an hour ago and that's what i see there right now. xp
― birdman junior dad (some dude), Thursday, 28 August 2014 14:50 (ten years ago) link
Hmm, strange. Restarted Spotify, no help. Could you repost the link to the playlist?

Kiss has plenty of really good songs, but they seem like a dumb band to get really fanatical about. Also, Gene Simmons yuck.
