Monday miscellany

It's all got a bit quiet round these parts. I might have to start cracking my Flashing Whip if you lot don't start looking a bit livelier.

A pretty random round-up tonight. From the George Clinton-produced album Freaky Styley comes Red Hot Chili Peppers's Hollywood. And hold your cynical tongues - this comes from the pre-Blood Sugar Sex Magik era when the Chili Peppers still knew how to throw together a delicious groove. Love the horn production on this one.

Back in the 1970s George Clinton invented P-funk - here's a good example: Parliament - Star Child, from the Mothership Connection album.

Thistle wanted Aphex Twin - En Trange to Exit - the closest RDJ gets to happy hardcore.

Lord Finesse (?) duelling with KRS-One - don't know anything about this straight-up oldskool hip hop tune - please enlighten me - but I like it. Lord Finesse and KRS One - No Gimmicks.

Some disco house thing I grabbed from elsewhere - some might find it overproduced but I reckon the various parts fit together perfectly.
Faze Action - In the Trees

And finally, a beautiful number from the great Baaba Maal.
Baaba Maal - Miyaabele.
