Plastic Magic podcast #53 (Feb. 28, 2010)

hey hey everybody out there in podcast land! On this show I played almost all jazz. There are a few old 45's in there from 1950's and 60's R & B like: DEE CLARK, LAZY LESTER, LaVERNE BAKER and the GLIDERS, WALTER FULLER'S CLUB ROYALE BAND and LITTLE WILLIE JOHN.  But mostly long pieces of "avant-garde", "free jazz" and "jazz rock fusion" from the likes of : HENRY THREADGILL SEXTET(1988), THE ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO (1969), MAX ROACH (1961), MILES DAVIS (1969), PHAROAH SANDERS (1970), ARCHIE SHEPP (1969) and so on. This is not the show that I normally do. I really love jazz and fig'r'd this to be a good time to do a show like this. I tried to keep it from getting too far out...well anyway...HERE TIS: podcast #53 (jazz)

PLASTIC MAGIC PODCAST #52 (Funkadelic Pt.2 1975-1979)

Hey kids, on this episode of Plastic Magic we continued where we left off last week with the Parliafunkadeliment Thang. This week we picked up with 1975 and rolled on thru 1979 and I actually had to skip thru alot of stuff just to make a good overview of the period. But what we did hear tonight was tracks from the FUNKADELIC LPs: LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE (1975), TALES OF KIDD FUNKADELIC (1976), HARDCORE JOLLIES (1976), ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE (1978), UNCLE JAM WANTS YOU (1979)...and the PARLIAMENT LPs: CHOCOLATE CITY (1975), MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION (1975), FUNKENTELECHY VS. THE PLACEBO SYNDROME (1977), THE MOTOR BOOTY AFFAIR (1978) and Bootsy's Rubber Band cuts from: STRETCHIN' OUT IN BOOTSY'S RUBBER BAND (1976), BOOTSY?..PLAYER OF THE YEAR (1978) some solo stuff from EDDIE HAZEL (1977) and FUZZY HASKINS (1978) and also some cuts from the solo female singer groups: THE BRIDES OF FUNKENSTEIN and PARLET to round it all out. Yes indeed The Parliafunkadeliment Thang is a big family! And almost every LP listed has more/less the same group of musicians, all produced by GEORGE CLINTON (what a legacy!), and alot of by the years was recorded at the same sessions then divided to the albums GC decided they should belong to.
