yeah, head east especially.

meanwhile i can't decide how the neu/motorik thing fits in. it's sort of funky and anti-funky at the same time. the flatness works against funkiness, but it has an elliptical thing going on -- the measures are sort of elongated and loping. not actually funky i guess, but i like that drumming too. probably deserves its own thread.

my high school marching band played 25 or 6 to 4. i guess lots of marching bands do.

"type" is great. "we are the children of concrete and steel/this is the place where the truth is concealed" -- epic.

"stereotype" / "blood type" / "are you my type?" ugh so unfortunate. but yeah calhoun, what a drummer

got those mother's finest albums, they're great! can't believe i never heard them. were they more popular in the south? they were never on yankee-rock radio that i remember. (maybe consigned to the funk stations?) the long vamp on "give you all the love" sounds a lot like "darling nikki."

speaking of which i guess darling nikki should be on this thread.

"Brownsville Station

As great as Brownsville Station were, I don't hear a funk element in these two songs.

I agree with you re "Smokin In the Boys Room"; respectfully disagree re "Barefootin," which sounds plenty funky, I'd say.
