My funky pants are in the wash for obvious reasons. But good evening from Wisconsin anyway.

hey Larry and funky people

Funky16Corners:

Hey C!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
Funky16Corners:

It blows my mind that this Cyril Neville 45 wasn't a hit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
Franco Twinkie:

Larry, I need some clarification: Piecrust by The Stokes - any Meter participation?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
Jeff Ash:

I hear "Gossip" and am reminded of something probably only I am interested in: IDs of all the sound bites that make up the F16C Radio Show theme. Maybe someday?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm
Funky16Corners:

@FRanco - Only connected by the production of Allen Toussaint.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:33pm
Erica:

Hey Larry specialized in funk and soul.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Funky16Corners:

@Jeff - That Cyril Neville sample is prominent in the Funky16Corners universe!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
Franco Twinkie:

Okay, Figures. It's not particularly funky, but it's a good title.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm
Funky16Corners:

Toussaint was actually in the Stokes. He formed the group when he was in the army. They did the original version of 'Whipped Cream'.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm

Hey Doc! I was hoping you'd dig that one!

I did, didn't catch it in real time, just saw that it was on today, it was great!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
Funky16Corners:

Thanks!
  10:43pm
rw:

So... The Meters, is their name have a reference to something I should know?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
Funky16Corners:

Meter - the musical kind
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:45pm
Funky16Corners:

meter is a recurring pattern of stresses or accents that provide the pulse or beat of music. Meter is notated at the beginning of a composition with a time signature. Time signatures are always notated with two numbers, one on top of the other, much like a fraction in math.
  10:45pm
rw:

Ah! I was thinking that might be it. Thanks LG!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:45pm
Funky16Corners:

Just Googled for a proper definition
  10:46pm
rw:

Okay. I was thinking maybe you were more of a genius than I had already suspected.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Funky16Corners:

Not hardly....cough...
  10:47pm
rw:

As well as a very fast typist.

Funky16Corners:

Yeah, right?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:01pm
Funky16Corners:

Things go fast when they're this funky!
  11:02pm
Dean:

The entry in Eric Blom's Everyman's Dictionary of Music on "metre":

the rhythmic patterns prod. in mus. by notes of varying length combined with strong and weak beats (*arsis* and *thesis*), similar to the different 'feet' (spondees, dactyls, anapests, trochees, iambics, etc.) in poetry.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:03pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, what he said
  11:07pm
chresti:

I’m moving the arses right now
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm
Funky16Corners:

My evil plan is working then!

'doesn't seem evil!

Funkay belly mama.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:12pm
Funky16Corners:

There were actually at least three Funky Belly records in New Orleans and Mississippi. Someone was trying to start a dance craze.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:14pm
Franco Twinkie:

Can't compete with Pretzel Party for noble failures if that is the case.
  11:14pm
chresti:

I’d like to see the funky belly dance
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm
Funky16Corners:

So would I!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:16pm
Erica:

Haha!

Parq:

Lurking, Larry. Been in the kitchen and the laundry room. Still needed in both, but wanted to stop by and say that this show is on FIY-YOH!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm
Franco Twinkie:

Zig played with Richard Hell if you can believe that.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:24pm
Funky16Corners:

@Parq - Thanks!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25pm
Funky16Corners:

@FRanco - I believe it. He's in his 70s and he still plays the fuck out of those drums

I'm looking at the pile that CD is in, to double check, and I just think - NO WAY!

Funky16Corners:

I tried to save a few of the mellower items for the end
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Franco Twinkie:

Trying to figure out exactly what these guys did to get that sound. Some kind of ju-ju for sure.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Parq:

I have a lot of these Meters cuts on a two-disc box I bought, "Funkify Your Life". Not positive, but I'm pretty sure I bought it at the FMU Record Fair. So there you go.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm
Funky16Corners:

All roads lead to WFMU!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:55pm

Yes Parq! The Rhino Box.
