…or your nose will grow!

I hope you didn’t miss the start of our 5-day, 5-mix, all weekend long Parliament-Funkadelic Extravaganza! It started on Thursday with:

Make My Funk The P-Funk!, featuring many of my favorite P-Funk party jams.

Yesterday we changed gears slightly with:

Make My Funk The P-Funk!-part 2, focusing on the more electronic, guitar heavy rhythms of Funkadelic.

Part 3, posted today, features some of the offshoot groups that round out the P-Funk empire: Bootsy, Parlet, Brides Of Funkenstein, etc.

It’s FUNK and RIBS for the entire holiday weekend and we’re throwing it down one last time as we say goodbye to summer. Oh… don’t forget to wear your sunglasses! {smile}

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect

Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
