Songs from the Man Cave!

Hi all,
My <"Desert Island Discs"> would include either Parliament / Funkadelic <"One nation under a groove"> or Bootsy Collins <"I'd rather be with you">. Once I was there I could Dad dance to my hearts content, with no-one to see me.

cheers Darrel

I'd be dad dancing with you if I were there! I was just a little bit too young to experience P-Funk first time around, but discovered it in the early nineties and loved it ever since. Started with the wild early Funkadelic albums like 'Maggot Brain' and graduated to Parliament and Bootsy etc. I remember in the early days there was this girl in our town who had a 'Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow' t-shirt (full album cover) which was quite shocking for the time and some of my mates were very awestruck and, I think, secretly in love with her!

Here's a video Funkadelic filmed in New York and Central Park for 'Cosmic Slop' in 1973. I am pretty sure they would be arrested within about five minutes if they attempted to do the same today!

 
“metal” covers are almost universally played for laughs, and yeahhhhhh there’s probably a bit of that. But I’ve had the chorus stuck in my head for a week.
Prolly helps that the original is also a banger.
 
Going back through an old iPod for the nostalgia and got reminded of Drug Church and holy moly they have spent nearly 10 years putting out Nivarna-inflected post hardcore/ pop hardcore(?)/grunge revival with a lilting sense of dry seething I can get behind.



 
And if the hot weather has you in the mood for something fruitier may I suggest some city pop for the gentleman.
 
Or perhaps your in the mood for some Danzig. And I mean. It’s rare that I aren’t.
So how about something Danzig adjacent.
 
And just some shameless promotion for people I know.

Have had this song stuck in my head for the last week! LOL

 
Anything by Tom Jones, saw him speak at the Hay-on-Wye festival a few years ago in his first public appearance after his wife passed away, what an awesome dude
