Funktober




I know it's been a minute, ok more like over a year, but it's back.  That's right, Prometheus is back with another edition of Spookie's Funkcast.  Turning October to Funktober, sit back and let Prometheus do it to you in your ear hole with the smooth funky sounds of:

Average White Band - Pick Up the Pieces
Earth, Wind & Fire - September
Lakeside - Fantastic Voyage
Rose Royce - Car Wash
The Commodores - Brick House
Jimmy Horne - Spank
Parliament - Theme from the Black Hole
Brothers Johnson - Stomp
The Time - Cool

So check out the funky joints from back in the day. Especially if you are tired of the electric bubblegum processed pop that is on the radio nowadays.  This is real music by real musicians and it's so COOL!



Coming up on future funkcasts, The Mythology of P-Funk and The Erotic City of Prince so make sure you check back.  Peace & Stay Funky!!!!!!!!

Volume 1 - Funkin' It Up

Here we are with the first volume of Spookie's FunkCast.  This episode is entitled Funkin' It Up and as you can probably guess, focuses on the funk.  I know this is a rough mix but it is still pretty enjoyable.  I wanted to get this out there quickly and didn't take my time with the voice overs.  There is not really any talking on this episode (mainly only the intro and occasionally a shout out to remind you what your listening to) because I decided to let the music do the talking.  I hope you enjoy it and check back often for more updates.  Stay funky!

It has to begin somewhere

What it ain't y'all? Prometheus here carving out my own little piece of the interweb.  Sharing all my funkspectations with the world and really just having fun along the way. So what is a funkcast? It's nothing more than my version of a podcast with a funky vibe. But it won't just be all funk all the time. It will feature funk, rap, rock, jazz, blues, folk and anything having to do with purple music.  There's no telling what you might hear and it all really depends on my mood (but I wouldn't count on hearing country).  I can tell you this, since I am a huge fan of Prince, you can probably count on a healthy does of his MPLS sound coming your way.  So like P-Funk said, "Sit back and relax while we do it to you in you earhole!"
