Fridays on Xhitter I do a regular MEGATHREAD 🧵 and this week the topic is THE FUNK.
Eventually I hope to migrate fully to here but for now here it is unrolled on threadreader -
You jammy gets!

I was here, VERY out of it 🤪
thought it was video sorry
I'd quite like to front a series of Antique Funk Roadshow actually.

Habibi Funk is a genre that goes back to the 60s.
I didn't say this record, I said the genre.
It's just this record is particularly good for it.
For clarity.
Don't natter over tunes Jim you will go to radio hell. Make yourself some bed loops 😉

*Caveat - my dancing may not be recognisable as any known form of conventional dancing as defined by societal norm.
a. 'loads'? no. some
b. yes. define 'dancing'
😉
Funky Fall songs = not very many.
Fall songs I can dance to = most of them, imo
It’s a debate without end (admittedly I haven’t the time or the will to read every thread 🙃), but kudos to you for starting this one 👏👏👏
😎
....?
i guess now the subthread is 'define dance'.
i could have a little mosh to that maybe but dance???
But there was also the Northern Soul cover of 'Theres a Ghost in my House'...
the original is one of my all all time faves.
bandit country.
😆
which contains the funk.

As a non-drummer, I would rewind and say "Why does he do that high-hat there?".
and like all true talents, a little bit wonky and wrong.
long arms too.
'long arms are lazy arms, and the funk is lazy' my teacher used to say.
great drummers are often lanky.

"Tell you what Sting, I'll bookend it instead. Trust me, it'll be great."
Almost like drums as both a lead and rhythm instrument.
in your face, urgent, unaware of convention, pushy, feisty, bit arrogant and awkward.
I was lucky that I came from an Irish family that spoke other languages and had music at home.
school was hopeless, by the 2nd year of music I was the only peripatetic pupil.

spotted.
What a fucking tune,
Wiggle Waggle - Herbie Hancock - King Bee - Back by Dope Demand
Bring down the Birds - Herbie Hancock - Dee-Lite Groove is in the heart.
Blow your Head - Fred Wesley - Public Enemy No1
mind you, hipsters have quadrupled the price of old gear.
