It started a few months ago, and it's trying to be a combination of Blogger and MySpace. What I like about it is, they make it super-easy to upload digital music files. I'm barely computer literate, so I'm all about ease-of-use. I love sharing music, like millions of people, and Vox makes for a cool little annex for this blog.<BR/><BR/>SJ: I checked out Digital Flame. That's not spam, just another new blogger trying to spread the word... and he came to me, it seems, through a similar aesthetic sensibility. But I appreciate your recommendation. Believe me, at the first sign of genuine spam, I'll go that "word verification" thing.<BR/><BR/>ItAintEazy: Actually, for that "Homicide" ep., I kept my inner fanboy in check, and me and Simon titled that episode something else. ("The Shooter," I believe.) But I had sent boss Tom Fontana a cassette of "Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome" for some reason. And it was Tom who changed the title to "Bop Gun," much to my surprise and delight.<BR/><BR/>Dacks: So glad you dug the book. Some fans were lukewarm about it... like it only scratched the surface. Hey, it was intended to be the first word on P-Funk history, not the last word. I myself like the narrative flow of it. Certain musicians emerge as real characters ("Billy Bass" especially), and certain issues recur in different time periods...<BR/><BR/>Like you, I wish like hell a movie or miniseries about Parliament-Funkadelic will come to be. But I tried to get HBO interested, hot on the heels of "The Corner," and they weren't feeling the subject matter. I didn't even develop a full pitch... they didn't want to hear it.Undercover Black Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704721024820668555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-15484603162474302112007-02-17T07:00:00.000-08:002007-02-17T07:00:00.000-08:00I have that oral history of P-funk book - it's ama...I have that oral history of P-funk book - it's amazing! I bought it used, not expecting much from it considering the lo-budget artwork, but it is a superior music bio. I've lent it to many of my friends. Like all my favourite music books, it's more than just the music. It goes way beyond the craziness and image of P-Funk and into some extremely important social issues, highlighting the insight of so many of the players.<BR/>I hope when the P-Funk movie gets made that this is the source. Have you seen the Wax Poetics P-Funk issue? It's vital in the same way. <BR/>Glad to see this interview on your blog.Dackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649263103355119228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-87116693434468102352007-02-17T06:04:00.000-08:002007-02-17T06:04:00.000-08:00Awww, those word verification things are a bitch, ...Awww, those word verification things are a bitch, I hope it won't come to that.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm guessing the title of your first teleplay to be filmed did not come from a contemporary Ice Cube song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-87714297433756745032007-02-17T05:44:00.000-08:002007-02-17T05:44:00.000-08:00I think the first comment is spam...UBM I recommen...I think the first comment is spam...UBM I recommend turning on 'word verification' for your comments, it keeps the spam away.

Thank you for upping my hipness quotient. Seriously, listening to that tune was awesome -- and the interview was crazy. Makes me wish I saved all those tapes from my J days.
