E11: Huh! Here Comes The Funk
Hear the full episode here:
In this week's episode Tim and Jeremy get ready to make you sweat with an extended length episode for maximum dancing. Starting with Soul Brother Number 1 James Brown, Tim and Jeremy chart this history of Funk, from its roots in Soul and R'n'B, via it's adoption by the Panthers and Black Power, and on to the psychedelia of Funkadelic. We also hear ther source material of some of the most samples breaks ever, moonlight in some film criticism, and freak out to some serious lysergic experiences.
Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.
