Monday Morning Funk

I've heard some good rock songs as covered by funk bands lately.  Enjoy this small smattering to get your toes tapping on a Monday morning.

Of note, this cat Sylvester deserves a slightly deeper dive, but his take on Neil Young's "Southern Man" is exquisite.  And new to me as of last week. Enjoy.

I wish I'd seen this before I left for work this morning. I've been on a Neil Young kick lately, to the point where I've even been listening to the "Long May You Young" podast, in which a trio of massholes devote an episode to each album, and go through track by track.

It's 40% interesting backstory, 40% guys rambling and talking shit to each other and making tasteless jokes, and 20% song clips with them talking over them. Not totally sure why I listen, but it's oddly compelling.

That sound like the Ric Flair podcast I used to listen to as a guilty pleasure (except that last 20%).

The heady burnouts in my high school were big into him and Pink Floyd. I get it, but it was never my thing. But that sounds like an amazing podcast. Would be better if they got Hamelburg to join in!

Faak dood, faakin Cwazy Hawz changed my life. Mounentawp is wikkid pissah!

Not too far off Z. The host is Asian, though he doesn’t quite have the accent. Attitude and language are there though.

Hammelburg = comedy gold.

Then I know a podcast you may like Marls. Do you like Neil Young and/or jokes about cum and hairy backed asian guys?

TR said...

Remove the words “jokes about” and you are right in Marls’ wheelhouse.

Marls said...

Is it really an “and/or”. Feels like Neil Young is a requirement.

rootsminer said...

There may be enough cum jokes that you don’t have to like Neil Young.

the funk radiohead and ac/dc covers are downright offensive. black folks culturally appropriating the whitest music ever . . . it's just not right:)

Dave’s gonna get canceled.

Saints look like hot garbage. Brees doesn’t have it consistently any more.
