RIBS: All Funked Up, All Funked Out…
Whew! I need y’all to do me a favor. If I ever mention doing 5 mixes in 5 days again, please talk me out of it! {smile}
Seriously though, I hope you had a chance to stop by RIBS this weekend and check out the P-Funk Extravaganza mixes. Despite all of the work required to produce this many mixes in such a short period of time, I really had a blast going through the entire Parliament-Funkadelic family music catalog and pulling this all together.
Just In case you missed it (or some part of it), here are all five links to the mixes in one convenient spot:
- Make My Funk The P-Funk!, part 1; mostly Parliament
- Make My Funk The P-Funk!, part 2; mostly Funkadelic
- Make My Funk The P-Funk!, part 3; Parlet, Brides Of Funkenstein, Sweat Band, Horny Horns
- Make My Funk The P-Funk!, part 4; Ahhh… The Name Is “Bootsy”, Baby!
- Make My Funk The P-Funk!, part 5; George “Dr. Funkenstein” Clinton
Also, I discovered two excellent resources that stand out above all of the rest for information about the P-Funk empire:
- The Motherpage - Makin’ Your Funk The P-Funk
- PBS’ Independent Lens: Parliament-Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove
OK (puttin’ my sunglasses back on)… time to jump back on the Mothership and get the Funk outa here!

[…] OK, here we are finally. Man, it’s been a crazy 4 or 5 weeks around here during the month of September. So many things have been going on that we wanted to focus on and/or draw attention to (from a musical point of view of course). Our 5 mixes in 5 days P-Funk extravaganza for the Labor Day holiday weekend, the Jena 6 situation (which is far, far from over), and our special look at Gil Scott-Heron and whew, September just flew by!
