Drive-by funk attack
Monday, June 30, 2008
So why is it that people that drive round with music blasting out of their car invariably have awful taste? Usually they're broadcasting some terrible dance, shit-hop or other aural abomination (note: that is not to say all hip-hop is bad - just most).
I mean seriously, when's the last time you were walking along the street and some car drove by playing out good music? For me, miraculously, it was today.
That's right. As I was walking home from Old Town a car passed me playing righteous, righteous funk. I'm not sure what it was, though it was certainly JB-ish. And the horn section was giving it some.
Sometimes I forget how good funk is. Proof that I am an idiot.
Incidentally if you're in Europe then Breakestra are currently on a European tour. For the uninitiated, Breakestra are the funkiest band alive (yes, even funkier than Calypso King and the Soul Investigators). Annoyingly they have a residency in LA, except for when I'm here. Go see them, because they are possibly the best band in the world.
