Clean, simple—amazing.

I’d been watching Coronation Street on CBC this evening, and I thought I’d share my own personal obsession with Manchester—music.
*Mind the horrid ad that Youtube (or rather, Google) feels it necessary to slop over your video. I’m sure these issues will be solved with HTML 5.

I wish music still had balls like this. The band is Funkadelic, the location is New York City, 1973. The song is “Cosmic Slop”. Sounds like just another silly 70’s track, right? Nothing about that could be farther from the truth (it’s exactly what I thought before I listened hard to the lyrics). The song is about a prostitute mother trying to raise several young kids in the ghetto. Potent stuff. Give it a serious listen.
Several of these guys went on to lead hard lives—with some harsh consequences. Regardless, they were total trailblazers—creating a genre of music, and influencing and helping to define several other future music movements (think: hip-hop). If you look hard enough, you’ll see a young George Clinton…
Free your mind, and your ass will follow.

Rip! is a Canadian documentary on the legalities of sampling, remixing, and mashing-up music in the digital age. It is an incredibly well-done piece of work, and we highly recommend anyone with even a remote interest in music to watch it. 5 stars.

Aflac have one of the lamest ad campaigns of our time. I think most would agree (if you’ve got cable). However, this microsite does it’s job extremely well—captivating, educating, and intriguing: what a microsite should be.
