JohnnyoftheWell
07.03.23 | asloopinthedoop ur actual rec is ZUTOMAYO - Hisohiso banashi (ę½ę½č©±)
see review for how it accidentally co-founded a fake pop-funk genre and for how its large fucking density belies one of the most meticulously conceived pop records of the last 5 yrs
stick it near the end of the month for when you need a breather from blessed pelvis crust music |
PotsyTater
07.03.23 | ā from blessed pelvis crust musicā
What the fuck does this even mean |
MoM
07.03.23 | Crotch crust? |

07.03.23 | Pelvis is where a dick is so is the crust cum? |
PotsyTater
07.03.23 | I was thinking some kind of sti |
ArsMoriendi
07.03.23 | To be fair to Johnny, I'm sure way more people got STDs and while listening to funk songs than with whatever weeb album he picked as a palette cleanser |
PotsyTater
07.03.23 | 100% |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | "I'm sure way more people got STDs and while listening to funk songs"
unparseable grammar break as a tragic collateral of heavy cope, now preserved in crust for eternity |
ArsMoriendi
07.04.23 | Damn, resorting to being a grammar Nazi. Last resort behavior |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | grammar mistakes are fine in all contexts
except when they occur as a transparent result of trying your best to redraft the world's weakest burn
then they are just funny |
PotsyTater
07.04.23 | His burn was apt and the grammar mistake was easily overlooked in favour of the landing |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | this is a funk thread, which unfortunately means that free associating bullshit from within ur groove >> breaking ur rhythm to hit a rocky landing ten times out of ten |
PotsyTater
07.04.23 | Just take an L with dignity for once good lord |
robertsona
07.04.23 | Potsy I think you mean ironic honey |

Sir Joe Quarterman & Free Soulās self titled |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | gonna suggest that
>funk is sex music here is not sex music
>yeah well i bet more people have sex to funk
is not an L-worthy development
but imma start a tally of ars yelling across the lounge for sona backup comments this dependency is getting out of hand |
PotsyTater
07.04.23 | My eyes could not roll further back into my skull |

07.04.23 | Dog thereās no āacrossā in our apartment you gotta sleep curled in a fetal on the black leather if you wanna chill and my world famous 6:30am scrambled eggarinos might scald ya on the bounce from five feet away if Iām not careful |
PotsyTater
07.04.23 | Ars told me you donāt know how to cook |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | now that's what i call funk |
robertsona
07.04.23 | I donāt cook enough but the stuff I make usually comes out ok
This is alllll mine, steak w overly saucy peanut noodles, but the steak was in a pan and i skilled it https://www.dropbox.com/s/ao7vttqzz4k1soy/Photo%20Jul%2003%202023%2C%208%2050%2014%20PM.jpg |

07.04.23 | Pots what would you have me cook if you had a choice of like things you figure I could reasonably secure/make
Fr |
PotsyTater
07.04.23 | That looks edible. |
PotsyTater
07.04.23 | I would be impressed with you if you made me a solid spring pea risotto arancini with a simple home made marinara side dip. Bonus points if you stuff them with mozza. |
robertsona
07.04.23 | Try āpots check me outā. Cooked this 6/2022: caramelized cashews myself, lovingly smashed up an eggplant or two in increasingly desperate ways, little burnt brocc and you gotta make some fried rice with crab meat added. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7ktyfiy3t15b7ge/AAD9rkmvbk2TActnnJbnYdB-a |

PotsyTater
07.04.23 | That all looks more or less edible but fried rice is like single male away at college 101 cooking tbh. I appreciate that you are adventurous enough to cook with eggplant and crab meat and try caramelizing stuff tho. I bet your food tastes better than it looks because presentation is always more difficult than flavour. A big part of it is knowing what items to cook independently so the colours donāt muddle. |
normaloctagon
07.04.23 | āthis is a funk threadā
You recād the equivalent of Japanese ska earlier i donāt think you get to pull this card |
PotsyTater

07.04.23 | normana your restraint in not recing nu-metal does not give your intentions the high ground here i can smell em |
normaloctagon
07.04.23 | bahahahaha |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | Wait Johnnyās rec isnāt funk at all?
Does that mean I can pick non-grind for his list |
AsleepInTheBack
07.05.23 | Drifter if you want your rec on the list add it to the database smh |
AsleepInTheBack
07.05.23 | Cool list is looking fucky
If any of y'all (ars) want a second rec now is the time |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | Ohio Players - Fire |

07.05.23 | Fela Kuti - Zombie

JohnnyoftheWell
07.05.23 | You can have the Meters s/t
or Stadium Arcadium |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | Iāll add drifterās rec to the database at some point today after I get home |
PotsyTater
07.05.23 | Zombie will be the best rec here without question, if it doesnāt win then asleep is officially filtered |
Havey
07.05.23 | well, somebody could rec an even better fela |

07.05.23 | Oh damn since there's dual rec's happnin if you got the space and will accept a dip back into the jazz:
Sun Ra - Strange Celestial Road
Killer jazz funk record |
porcupinetheater
07.05.23 | Zombie will be the best rec here [2] |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | Zombie rules hard, but itās not even Felaās best
|
widowslaugh123
07.05.23 | If need more check lee Dorsey-Yes We Can |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | Also I added Drifterās Rec to the database
I think that fills up the month now |
AsleepInTheBack
07.05.23 | the amount of these that are highly rated but have no write up is silly sput what you doing |
AsleepInTheBack
07.05.23 | also sweeee we done lets FUK |
AsleepInTheBack
07.05.23 | hyped for zombie, scared for sun ra, confused as to what 24 is doing here, and generally all around happy with how this turned out. loads of big bois and loads of weirdos. |
Havey
07.05.23 | ars hit us with your top 3 fela |
normaloctagon
07.05.23 | @asleep yeah the db is severely lacking in black music in general, people like to blame that on the whole genre tags situation but itās a cop out, we just have shit music taste as a whole ; )
Glad the list turned out so great too, i was a bit nervous when i saw vaporwave getting recād in here *cough* dedex *cough* but this certainly yielded a super solid month of programming for ya! Only recognize a handful of the submissions here, gonna follow along best i can |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | @Havey
Iāve only heard 8 of his albums so Iāll rank all 8:
1. Sorrow Tears and Blood
2. Roforofo Fight
3. Zombie
4. Expensive Shit
5. He Miss Road
6. Afrodisiac
7. Gentleman
8. Confusion
Tbh where should I go next with Fela |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | Iām actually happy vaporwave got picked since itās an outgrowth of the genre
Itās not my thing but itās cool to see where people went with genres
Tbh funk has somehow become my 3rd biggest pie chart slice and idk how that even happened but I blame Stevie Wonder, heās the gateway drug |
normaloctagon
07.05.23 | Check out some of Tony Allenās work instead (if you havenāt already that is) |
normaloctagon
07.05.23 | I mean yeah thatās generally the tack i take too ars but the list made it pretty clear he was looking for raw funk. I interpreted the āIāll accept other stuffā as slightly begrudging/making allowance for the fact that sput is not a particularly funk forward place and he might have to ātake what he can getā
But i could be wrong |
AsleepInTheBack
07.05.23 | Ngl I was convinced this list would devolve into groove metal and am happy it didnāt lol
P-funk was what I was looking for so am happy. The slight variations to this that some of the recs look like they do is good tho - you need variety when doing these month genre things |
Havey
07.05.23 | ars we have the same top 2, and i might go with shakara for #3, so you could try that one next, if you're not too bothered by the misogyny... |
normaloctagon
07.05.23 | word bird |
Drifter
07.05.23 | what why am i at the end |
porcupinetheater
07.05.23 | Ikoyi Blindness is bumpin' too
and Coffin for No Head of State |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.23 | @Havey: Fe Fe Ne Eye Fe from Gentleman is kinda sexist, so I guess that's just gonna happen in some Fela songs... Shakara will prob be the next Fela I check then!
|
PotsyTater
07.05.23 | āZombie rules hard, but itās not even Felaās best ā
Itās still the best rec here by a landslide so it doesnāt matter. Itās also the obvious jumping off point so whatevs, itās good |
robertsona
07.05.23 | Youāve heard all the albums? I like Fela, but heās definitely overrated all told |
PotsyTater
07.05.23 | That might be one of your worst self filters yet |
robertsona
07.05.23 | Nah Fela is the filter letās be real. Countless zoomers for whom thatās āthe African musician,ā who have in this category only heard Zombie, maybe expensive shit. He is the filter |
PotsyTater
07.05.23 | Like any artist with like 50 albums heās gonna have some duds but considering his legacy and impact and story calling him of all people overrated is the dumbest music take Iāve probably ever heard in my entire life |
PotsyTater
07.05.23 | Tasteless and pretentious content from flop bitch Robertsona |
widowslaugh123
07.05.23 | Calling fela overrated is pretty ridiculous
Also fela has no duds some albums are just better than others |
Havey
07.05.23 | have zoomers discovered poly-rythmo yet? the potential is there |
PotsyTater
07.05.23 | I havenāt heard them all yet but Iām yet to hear a dud. And even if I found one, I wouldnāt use it as an excuse to say something as immensely goop brained as that. Imagine knowing the story behind zombie and posturing with something as tasteless as āitās just the āthatās the african musician!!!ā Anthem for zoomersā š¤®š¤®š¤® |
Havey
07.05.23 | not fela's fault his music became one of the most popular genre-tourist attractions in the world, blame the genre tourists |
PotsyTater
07.05.23 | Word up |
dedex
07.06.23 | > i was a bit nervous when i saw vaporwave getting recād in here *cough* dedex *cough*

also yeah calling Fela overrated is mega wild |
rabidfish
07.06.23 | Fela kuti overrated?
Lol stfu stoopid |
ArsMoriendi
07.06.23 | Anticipation |
AsleepInTheBack
07.07.23 | two genre big boys in two days lets go good start, particularly 7 which i didn't expect to be quite so smooooooth |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.07.23 | Glad you dug the Slop of the Cosmos. I can confirm the replay value is very high on that one. Maggot Brain is also top notch but my rec is a personal favourite of the four Funkadelic albums I know. |
porcupinetheater
07.07.23 | Jalapeno I dont see One Nation Under a Groove in your rates you oughta jamjamjam
Pledge allegiance to the funk |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.07.23 | 3
blind
mice
etc |
normaloctagon
07.07.23 | so the z gen discovering one of the most important black artists of all time, and not digging deep into the discography, makes that artist overrated? what the hell kind of take is this sona? |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.07.23 | @porc - both Parliament and Funkadelic are part of my ongoing 101 discog challenge so I can promise you that in the next 18 months, that album will have been jammed to fuck - might even prioritise them in the spirit of this funkathon. |
AsleepInTheBack
07.07.23 | go funk yourself my friend. lets do it together on 17th July x |
porcupinetheater
07.07.23 | Yay but also deepest condolences for setting yourself up for a non-negotiable listen of First Ya Gotta Shake The Gate |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.07.23 | @Asleep - the 17th it is. Monday morning drivetime funk.
@porc - I'm sure it won't be the worst. Amongst the good stuff, there's a fuckton of shite I will need to endure in order to complete this gruelling challenge.
|
porcupinetheater
07.07.23 | Minute to minute prob not
But my god it's 3 and a half hours of slog |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.07.23 | I hadn't realised the length. In an unrelated challenge, I am making myself listen to all of Autechre's studio albums in three output formats. The longest album is 8 hours (I have heard this already but only in one format). |
AsleepInTheBack
07.07.23 | I thought this list series was somewhat obsessive and masochistic but my god your discog run thing and now this you are an crazy |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.07.23 | I don't think I'll achieve the discog run to be honest but I'm going to give it my best. It was initially intended to act as motivation to actually get around to checking stuff I'd been meaning to for years and also for catching up with newer material from old favourites but it's far too fucking big to listen to everthing thouroughly enough to rate fairly. Just going to try and have fun with it. I may swap out 5 bands or so. |
AsleepInTheBack
07.07.23 | I know the feeling. On bad days I feel like I give some albums on these 1 a day things a hard time, but itās all about horizon expansion and genre/artist education at the end of the day. If only 1 in every 5 albums is a personal fave then thatās okay, as the other 4 will usually have still taught me something, even if I may not return to them. And tbf Iāve enjoyed more than 20% of these recs - yāall bring fire. |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.07.23 | Too right. In my book, no listening is a waste and any undiscovered delights are victories. |
ArsMoriendi
07.07.23 | Nice 2 pfunk 4s |
porcupinetheater
07.07.23 | "On bad days I feel like I give some albums on these 1 a day things a hard time"
Mr. 4 Everything has spoken! |
AsleepInTheBack
07.07.23 | Thankfully I donāt have many bad days. Or standards.
Also hard to rate albums in a genre you have no reference points for so ima err on the side of posi vibes |
porcupinetheater
07.07.23 | Lmao im just joshin, big respect for committing so hard to these deep dives and keeping your horizons open to the vagaries of the wind |
ArsMoriendi
07.07.23 | I hope this month turns Asleep into a huge funk stan |
porcupinetheater
07.07.23 | How's it goin' boys and girls? Nice to meet you, they call me Funk Stan! |
ArsMoriendi
07.07.23 | It's short for Funkatron Stanley |
AsleepInTheBack
07.08.23 | Tbf I could see myself becoming a funk addict - am a fan of the groove in most genres.
Update - I am harsh rater now fear me |
MoM
07.08.23 | Understandably. Funk is one of the most premiere of genrƩ |
ArsMoriendi
07.08.23 | Power of Tower is def not the brand of funk I lean toward |
Manatea
07.09.23 | my dad is the one that turned me onto tower of power because garibaldi is an absolute beast of a drummer.
Glad you liked it though! |
widowslaugh123
07.09.23 | Tower of power rules |
Hyperion1001
07.09.23 | herbie day! |
AsleepInTheBack
07.09.23 | We came we saw we funked |
DadKungFu
07.09.23 | Herbie's gonna need to come up by at least 0.2 |
AsleepInTheBack
07.10.23 | Probably |
ArsMoriendi
07.10.23 | Do you already know the 3 hits from Stand? Just curious cuz theyāre all very famous |
AsleepInTheBack
07.10.23 | I did not. I do now. |
widowslaugh123
07.10.23 | Sly is a legend. Check fresh and basically the first like 6-7 albums. Riot is my favorite but theyāve got so much good material |
SlothcoreSam
07.10.23 | Sly is a sly 5, it will grow on you |
ArsMoriendi
07.10.23 | Fresh rules yeah |
AsleepInTheBack
07.12.23 | 11 is new and shiny |
ffs
07.12.23 | glad you enjoy. good album for strutting around acting like you own the place |
AsleepInTheBack
07.12.23 | Interesting. Far more mellow and not so bold to my ears. Will listen to it with bombast.
TWELVE |
DadKungFu
07.13.23 | A man listens to an entire month of funk and is offput by an album-worth of raunch |
AsleepInTheBack
07.13.23 | Itās express and explicit and so aggressively unsubtle in a way that Iām sure makes it marmite (v good or v bad to taste) in a way some of these other recs arenāt. Not sure my write up accurately depicts my feelings itās a difficult thing to try express without coming across like idc or am not interested in other peoples experiences/cultures/movements etc but eh I am probably worthy of a roast on this one. |
ArsMoriendi
07.13.23 | Shame you donāt like Betty Davis
Sheās so fucking good |
ArsMoriendi
07.13.23 | I suppose āsexual liberation and the defying of female gender rolesā isnāt very Sputnik |
AsleepInTheBack
07.13.23 | I mean, Iād rather you not paint me with that particular brush. I have appreciation for that, and Bettyās role in shaping 70s Funk and (apparently) influencing Miles to go down the Bitches Brew fusion route; that, and me simply not enjoying listening to these particular sounds on a personal level, or finding much personal gratification in the fixation on these themes, are not mutually exclusive. |
AsleepInTheBack
07.15.23 | 2000th rating bb |
Kompys2000
07.15.23 | Oh woah you're so right Louis Cole totally has a Bill Wurtz kinda thing going in places. Feel like that comparison has been on the tip of my tongue since I first heard him
Also wtf little Richard made a funk album did I know that
Also also I agree w u about Betty Davis it's just like one notch hornier than I personally am ever gonna want to just throw on while going about my day |
AsleepInTheBack
07.16.23 | Glad itās not just me w/r/t both points x
15 and 16 are poppin |
AsleepInTheBack
07.17.23 | And 17 |
ArsMoriendi
07.17.23 | Nice One Nation rating |
robertsona
07.17.23 | Glad you liked the sos band album. In a weird way itās not a total favorite but it reminds me so uniquely of being like five and playing video games which is cool |
AsleepInTheBack
07.20.23 | Weird video game jam why werenāt you listening to linkin park and three days grace hmm you classy boi
18 and 19 up please donāt throw your shoes |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.20.23 | Shit, I forgot to funk along with you on the 17th. My late report awaits. |
widowslaugh123
07.20.23 | I donāt know if the payback is the best choice but itās definitely not bad. Check other James brown albums |
ArsMoriendi
07.21.23 | James Brownās discography has to be one of the longest and most confusing discographies Iāve ever seen |
AsleepInTheBack
07.21.23 | Why has no one rated 20 go go go go go go go go
Also spicy pepper you have betrayed me |
widowslaugh123
07.21.23 | Hell yeah dude that slave album is underrated as fuck. The grooves are deep but the melodies are layered in so well. Every funk fan needs to jam party hardy at least once |
AsleepInTheBack
07.22.23 | Idk if the album art misleads expectations it doesnāt sound like a muscular man holding a giant marble
21 also unexpected fire |
AsleepInTheBack
07.24.23 | more opinions have been expressed a la 22 and 23
24 impending jonathan what have you done |
dedex
07.24.23 | swag |
AsleepInTheBack
07.24.23 | 24 feels like has space to grow once vocal melodies sink hooks into my face |
ArsMoriendi
07.24.23 | Iām up tomorrow
get ready for some FIRE |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.25.23 | 24 swag yes yes perf take good take
vocal melodies do go the distance on that one if you give em enough spins to tune into their distinctions (but this took literally 6 hours of continuous listening when i rev'd it so, uh proceed with caution) |
AsleepInTheBack
07.25.23 | That is a time commitment I am not prepared for and simultaneously may fall for.
25 up well done ars you done good |
ArsMoriendi
07.25.23 | Sweet
The more Ohio Players fans, the better
Theyāre like if Parliament calmed down a little wasnāt about dancing aliens |
PotsyTater
07.25.23 | Jesus Christ, sauce one of your 12 4ās a .1 m8
(And make it mine) |
AsleepInTheBack
07.25.23 | Need to recheck 10 - that was the closest to breaking the 4.3 barrier. Then probs 7 and 12 tbh. |

07.27.23 | Good question! Idk lol.
Beside the obvious point which most of these lists have uncovered (I.e. that the given genre is more varied and nuanced that my uninformed numpty brain realised) Iād say this list has made me want to do a deep dive into African music more generally - the list that got bumped with like 100 African albums of various subsubsub genres and cultural/geographical influences had be HYPED.
Ig I also thought that GROOVE was the unifying tenant of the genre when actually itās more nuanced than that (the sociopolitical/SEX/afrofutureism core subject matter, plus loads of overlap with soul and jazz in the afrofunk direction). |

Which artists here would you be most interested in continuing the discographies of |

07.30.23 | It was all your idea / suggestion so thank YOU!
Definitely funkadelic, parliament, herbie, Kuti and sly (which is a very boring answer but theyāre the big bois)
Of the weirder/less obvious ones, easily Manu Dibango and William Onyeabor - easily the most unique listens on the list. Kinda single handedly making me want to do a month of music from Africa, but (in perhaps an unfair generalisation) Iām not sure a random rec list is the way to go vs using that African music list that was floating around lately, which looked like a banger.
