Tags

Hello funkateer, I wanted to ask about tags. Specifically, I'm wondering why this sub doesn't use them. I think tags could be very beneficial. Just a few of a multitude of possibilities based on my own Spotify playlists:

Slap dat Classic (aka Old Skool) Joyous Nasty Organ African Flute Driving Strut Horny Layered Groove Acid Jazz Latin Gospel

And a few others

Lowrider Not funk, but funky Electronic Boogaloo Boogie

Backwards track list? Gratitude - Earth Wind and Fire

Recently picked up the vinyl for the album gratitude and I was super excited bc it’s one of my favs, but I’m a little confused by the track listing? The vinyl identifies all of the disc 2 songs to come first and disc one songs to come after despite the discs themselves being labeled side 3/4 and side 1/2, and on every other form of the album the songs are listed as expected in the 1,2,3,4 order but on the vinyl they’re in the 3,4,1,2 and I can’t find anyone else talking about this?

Enter the Dragon (Main Theme) by Lalo Schiffrin

While Lalo is best known for the Mission:Impossible theme and the music for Bullitt, this arrangement of the main theme for Enter the Dragon gets a double dose of funk from Jack Parnell and his orchestra.

Recommendations needed

So I’ve been listening to a lot of funk recently and still kinda new to it. I’ve listened to p-funk and a bunch of George’s stuff periodically since I was a kid when my sister showed me them. Since playing guitar way more, turning 18 and connecting with the 60-70s I want to find more bands or artists like them.

I really dig that narly stuff like in ain’t that funkin kinda hard on you (the version with Kendrick Lamar). I also dig that psychedelic stuff from the Funkadelic titled album to the late 70s and the solo albums from bootsy and Eddie hazel.

I watched the live performances they did in the 80s with Dennis chambers and that dark, heavy, chaotic funk is what I’m looking for.

I love sly, Curtis, miles Davis and the Ohio players and been slowly going through their stuff and also wondering if they have stuff like that
