put a glide in your stride, a dip in your hip and come onto the mothership

Funk is taking over my life. Now that I've been hipped to Parliament-Funkadelic, I am obsessed. George Clinton (talk about Clinton '08!) and the crew have a funny way of making you want to give up everything and devote your life to The Funk.
And it's The Funk. Like God.

Parliament-Funkadelic is also hightly conceptual. I can't think of any other band that has an entire Wikipedia page devoted to their own personal mythology:

On Mothership Connection (1976), Starchild first appeared (inspired equally by Sun Ra's "Black Noah" and Jesus); he is a divine alien being, who came to earth from a spaceship (his arrival is "the Mothership Connection") to bring the holy Funk (with a capital "F": the cause of creation and source of energy and all life), to humanity. As it turns out (according to The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, 1976), Starchild secretly worked for Dr. Funkenstein, the intergalactic master of outer space Funk, who is capable of fixing all of man’s ills, because the "bigger the headache, the bigger the pill" and he’s the "big pill" ("Dr. Funkenstein," from The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein). Dr. Funkenstein’s predecessors had encoded the secrets of Funk in the Pyramids because humanity wasn’t ready for its existence until the modern era. The titular "clones" are the Children of Productions whose job is to ensure that everyone is on the One.
Starchild’s nemesis is Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk ("Sir Nose Devoid of Funk" from Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome, 1977). Inspired by The Pinocchio Theory of Bootsy's Rubber Band, Sir Nose attempts to end the Funk because he is too cool to dance. He is the master of the Placebo Syndrome, which causes unFunkiness (a combination of stupidity and no dancing). His goal is to place the minds of all humanity into a state called the Zone of Zero Funkativity. Starchild, on the other hand, uses his Bop Gun ("Bop Gun (Endangered Species)," from Funkentelechy Vs the Placebo Syndrome) to achieve Funkentelechy for all humanity. With the Funky powers of the Bop Gun (which are augmented by the Flash Light....Shine the light on them suckas!!!), Starchild causes Sir Nose to reach Funkentelechy, and find his Funky soul. He then dances away the night.Sir Nose’s return (along with ally Rumpofsteelskin) is detailed on the Motor Booty Affair (1978).
Here, Sir Nose is both too cool to dance and swim, but Mr. Wiggles and the good citizens of Atlantis (a place where one can swim underwater without getting wet) cause Sir Nose to dance the Aqua Boogie.On Gloryhallastoopid (1979), Sir Nose’s machinations are undone by the Big Bang Theory, which reveals that the Funk caused the creation of the universe.Sir Nose’s last appearance is on Trombipulation (1979), where he traces his ancestry back to the Cro-Nasal Sapiens, who were especially Funky, leading Sir Nose to reclaim his Funky heritage, along with his son, Sir Nose Jr.

If you take the time to read that, you will not be disappointed. Your mind will be blown.

So I got my bangs yesterday, and I think they turned out fantastic! They sort of remind me of Gail Zappa's bangs.People have told me they like my old hair better.

I personally adore them, and that's all that counts.

P.S. I'm getting so irritated with these blogs that have music automatically start playing. Not to call anyone out (though you would obviously know who you are), is there a way where it won't start playing automatically? I usually have other music playing and then I have to scroll down your sidebar (because God Forbid it be findable!) to pause it, then I have to rewind my music!
Just had to get that bitchiness out!
