Funkaliscious Monday: Stevie
I don’t know about any of you, but I missed Buhdy’s Funkaliscious Friday this week. So I thought we could make up for that a bit tonight. I’m afraid I’m sadly lacking in the ability to come up with a catchy theme like Buhdy and others have so often done. But hey, if we’re talking funk, who better personifies that than Stevie Wonder?
Here’s the early one:

Now for something completely different: Prime John Prine
I found this in my email inbox this week, and it was too good not to share:
John Prine TV!?!?
“What is John Prine TV?”
JP TV is a video player that hosts a collection of our favorite videos of John and some of his musical cronies. There is a ton of classic Prine footage on it, and as we find more videos, we’ll be adding them.
“What exactly will I find there?”
On it you’ll find clips of John duetting with Iris Dement and Nanci Griffith, doing “Angel From Montgomery” on the edge of a placid lake (“Lake Marie” maybe?), or sitting around a kitchen table just playin’ for some friends, and a whole lot more. Whether it’s John in front of ten friends or in front of 10,000 strangers, you will find John in some of the intimate settings as well as some of the most grand.
I have failed in my efforts to embed the video, but this link will take you to a collection of 20 John Prine videos, which just keep playing one after another.
Do yourself a favor and Give it a click.

Pony Pee
This Tuesday Pony Party is brought to you by Liquid Gold

Our music is provided by Green Milk from the Planet Orange.
A Review that I thought was a parody of music reviews. Maybe not.
Green is the colour of my true love’s milk.

The myspace:
Bloggers with pets and small children may not want to play any of these at full volume. Or half volume. Or at all..
These are all somewhat lengthy. Some start slowly.
Do not rec the Pony Party!
Although I suspect there’s only a few that would.
I don’t suppose it’ll take much to encourage you to read the Front Page, Recommended Essays, and anything else you can find.
Oh, a Special Comment: I won’t be able to do the Pony Party next Tuesday the 27th because I’ll be moving to a different gutter, and probably won’t have the intertubes cleared that day. so if anyone wants to PINCH HIT get in touch with pfiore8 or RiaD…or better yet, a bunch of people just start posting essays with Pony in the title at 6:00 Eastern, 3:00 Pacific next Tuesday. If you don’t, masslass might end up doing it, and nobody really wants that.

Funkalicious Friday: Bottom
Primero…go read smackdown goodness!
Proximo: Random tube seventies centric surfology loosely to do with bass lines and blamelessly inspired by Robyn’s mention of Nilsson. Could these be the absolute best bass lines evaahhh???
No.
Surely not.
Not even close, AAMOF, as you are about to prove in the comments! Show me up and dress me down….just don’t call me Shirley! But this first vid is surely the best bass song evah!
