Ladies and Gentleman Weedhopper would formally like to welcome the one and only funkmaster Obliveus to the turntables this Sat Dec 3 for Weedhopper's 2nd last funk party.

You all know this man and what he is capable of pulling out of his bag of goodies.

We are pleased to offer Obliveus a 2 hour set to do just that!

He's on from 9.30-11.30pm, it's free entry and at 80 Smith St, Collingwood.

Joining Obliveus is none other than the very underground, sometime dj Mr Lob!

Come along and support us and get down and funky on the dancefloor...

Expect straight up original funk breaks from Lob and Obliveus!

Fuck yeah....

EASTSIDE FUNK ALLSTARS!!!
That's the bomb.

Let's start some contraversy....

Roy Orbison's got more soul than James Brown

or

Amick's a closet C+C Music Factory fan

or

Mr Lob wears combat boots

or...

I can go on all day. Somebody shut me up.

mr lob · Post by **mr lob** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 12:38 pm

got combat undies and matching shorts if that helps!

I think Charlie Pride's got more funk than Willie Nelson who's got more soul than Bob Dylan, but now I'm confused?

Support da funk as the Eastside Funk Allstars are coming to a gas station, pokies venue and retirement home near you real soon...

That's a given. I just picked up 'Contraversy' on vinyl for $10.

I've had it on CD for ages, but finally found a copy on vinyl. So good, Prince with the afro was the man back in the day. Actually, Musicology is the best thing he's done since Contraversy IMO. Love that album, too. Got me through some long nights in a hospital bed.

Man, you know my nickname is Disco Stu, right?
Bummed though. I was actually hoping to drop some Nepalm Death in the mix.

Hoping to pick up my 'Motown Greatest Hits' I got on hold at Alley Tunes. So many classics. Actually, I got 2 Motown Greatest Hits Albums on hold there, except one's a Murphy Brown Show release. Each has a different version of Gladys Knight & the Pips doin "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". One's more mellow funk, while the other is straight-up, Northern Soul magic. Didn't have my wallet on me (forgotten at home--damn!!!) when I went in there. Also got my C+C Music Factory "Things That Make Ya Go Hmmmm" 12" waiting for me. You know you love it...

mr lob · Post by **mr lob** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 6:50 pm

jeez man, should I bring my mc hammer 12 if we going down that path...

Question for you guys: of the three Betty Davis records, which is the best one to get?

Depends on how much they're charging. They had em at Cram a while back and they were something like $30-40 each. No double vinyl either. I asked em why and he said that's how much the repressings are sought after. Personally, I dont know each of them well enough to take a pick, but from what Jeff played me, they're all badass. Dont think you could really go wrong.

Brain, yer Flashlight reference is very similar to the first time I heard it, too. Even the rolling around on the floor, except my experience was in a converted garage without carpeting, so if i would've rolled around on the floor I would've got a grease stain on my 2 sizes too small Metallica t-shirt. No way was that going to happen.

You gotta love a girl who dresses like this:

The first song off the first album is called 'If I'm in Luck I Might Get Picked Up' - it doesn't get better than that.

Boh!!!

brain northside records has some new betty davis pressings for $20, saw them yesterday!

love nasty girl!!

at $20 a pop I'd picked up all 3 albums, also got lots of parliment stuff on vinyl down there and if he don't got it, he'll get it for ya no doubt...
