As a tribute to long-time @george_clinton & #Parliament #Funkadelic keyboardist @AmpFiddler (R.I.P.!) I compiled a @Spotify playlist with some of my Amp favorites. I concentrated on collaborations, his solo albums are worth listening to in their entirety. https://t.co/JwbEO0GmI0

2/2 In episode 1, Funkadelic's „Good to Your Earhole” (1975) was playing on Sweety's jukebox.

1/2 I am not sure whether the average viewer of the new Hulu series „@JustifiedFX: City Primeval” is familiar with @George_Clinton’s 1982 smash „Atomic Dog“ – so it was particularly nice to encounter this dialog in S01E02 of #JustifiedFX, air date: July 18, 2023):

Sorry, @UltClassicRock: The album was not released 50 years ago today but on July 9, 1973. Still, a great review! ("By 1973, Funkadelic had performed more explorations of musical form in just four albums than most bands manage in their careers.")

1/2 Two songs in @theGrio's list have a P.Funk connection: @george_clinton's “Atomic Dog” ("One of the funkiest songs of all time. If this song doesn’t get you dancing, you might be dead.") and Parliament's "Flashlight". https://t.co/S1NNZLyIn6

2/2 @Goldmine_mag and I (@pjebsen) go a long way back. In 1990, I collaborated with them on a special P.Funk issue (on @George_Clinton, @Bootsy_Collins & Co.) and contributed lots of stories and photos. It was released on January 25, 1991.

.@BillieEilish tells @Letterman about the 87 snippets she apparently needs to produce a straight vocal.

I am glad that I got to witness artists like @george_clinton's P.Funk gang and Bobby Womack in the studio during analog times ... they just sang.😉
