“It was funny, the others was trying to change Bernie [Worrell] to make him more funky and I'm saying, No! Leave him be! What he can bring from the Conservatory can help us compete with the Jethro Tulls and the King Crimsons.”

You can’t have the funk unless you have the whole funk and nothing but the funk, so Discord & Rhyme is treating you to a second round of P-Funk. This time, Mike rounds out the story by discussing Parliament, who are tighter and much more orderly than the looser, rougher Funkadelic, and feature a truly excellent horn section. Their 1975 masterpiece Mothership Connection officially declared Parliament-Funkadelic as a cohesive, galactic entity, and its space-age soundscapes have massively influenced music since, even spawning the “G-Funk” subgenre of hip-hop most famously associated with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Even more relevant to this podcast’s very particular tastes — it’s kind of proggy! And if you don’t believe us, read the epigraph above and then join us as soon as you are groovy.

Miscellany

  1. The definitive Parliament-Funkadelic album, Mothership Connection is where George Clinton's revolving band lineups, differing musical approaches, and increasingly thematic album statements reached an ideal state, one that resulted in enormous commercial success as well as a timeless legacy that would be compounded by hip-hop postmodernists, most memorably Dr. Dre on his landmark album The.
  2. Parliament was an American funk band formed in the late 1960s by George Clinton as part of his Parliament-Funkadelic collective. More commercial and less rock-oriented than its sister act Funkadelic, Parliament drew on science-fiction and outlandish performances in their work. The band scored a numb.
  3. Parliament, ‘Mothership Connection’ I’ve heard these goofballs a few times in their alternate incarnation as Funkadelic, a more guitar-heavy, leftfield take on funk. Here, they create a mythology of black guys in UFOs (although wasn’t that part of Sun Ra’s whole deal?) and leave most of the instrumentation to Bootsy Collins, he of the.

  • For those of you who are not Trekkies, Uhura was a character on the original series who happened to be a black woman. This was so groundbreaking that Nichelle Nichols, the actress who played her, nearly quit the show over the racism she had to face. Fortunately for all of us, she stayed with it.

  • We discussed Keith Emerson stabbing the Moog back in the ELP episode, but here’s a recap: Emerson discovered that he could get really weird sounds out of the Moog by wedging a knife blade between the keys, and that evolved into a major part of his stage performances.

  • George Clinton’s appearance on How I Met Your Mother doesn’t seem to be on YouTube, so if you haven’t seen it, you’ll just have to take our word for it that it was funny.

Osmium is the 1970 debut album by the funk band Parliament, led by George Clinton. The album has a psychedelic soul sound with a spirit of experimentation that is more similar to early Funkadelic than the later R&B-inspired Parliament albums.
The original vinyl release contained a glossy lyric sheet.
Since its re-release in 1990, Osmium has been distributed numerous times by various labels in the U.S., Europe and Japan, sometimes under alternative titles that have included Rhenium and First Thangs. A number of these reissues have featured material that was not included on the original album, such as unreleased tracks and singles that were recorded around the same time as Osmium.
The personnel for this album included the five Parliaments singers and the five backing musicians known as Funkadelic. The same personnel also recorded as Funkadelic, releasing that act's self-titled debut album also in 1970. After the release of Osmium, contractual difficulties prevented further recording under the name Parliament until 1974, when Clinton signed that act to Casablanca Records and positioned it as an R&B-inspired counterpoint to the more rock-oriented Funkadelic.
The yodeling that arguably uniquely identifies one of De La Soul's early hits, 'Potholes In My Lawn' (which eventually appeared on De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising), comes from Osmium's 'Little Old Country Boy'.
