Funkadelic 1973
George Clinton's 79th Birthday
"Motor Booty Affair" by Parliament (1978)
 
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Parliament "Motor Booty Affair"  1978 (USA)
Today is P-Funk mastermind George Clinton's 79th birthday, so this week's show is an unanounced reboot of the "Parliament-Funkadelic Spectacular" specials the Kosmik Radiation show did every July 4 for ten years (retired in 2014). Parliament and their alter egos Funkadelic released a pile of classic albums in the 1970's which blended funk with hard rock, psychedelia and heavy concepts. One of their most coherent concept albums was Motor Booty Affair which features aquatic themes and the overarching concept of "partying until we raise the lost continent of Atlantis". The monster hit from this album had the intriguing title "Aquaboogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)" - and yes, the word "psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop" does feature prominently in the lyrics!
Also on the show this week - a cool new rap song from DAOKO, who has a new album due out this month.
