fishbone aug 24, 2001 templebar even though i was tired and half out of it (i was thinking about leaving early i was so tired), i still had a good night. i met the owner of the templebar, one of the waitresses, both bouncers and i chatted briefly with my fave cutey waitress. i got to hear spacey-t rip an eddie hazel like guitar solo. he dedicated the song to eddie saying that all of this kinda guitar music stems from mr hazel. my fave place was not its usual self, it was setup for the larger than normal crowd. there was a serious mosh pit and body surfing and a very uncharacteristic large percentage of males. the energy of the males moshing and banging was good. non-personal aggression. non malicous aggressive physical banging. testosterone. hard physcial energy explosions.  FISHBONE AT THE TEMPLE BAR, 8.24.01                                             by Lamar... Nuttmeg soldiers filled up the temple bar last night to hear FISHBONE previewing all new material... They had a 5 camera video crew filming the show for a DVD. The new shyt was both subtle and powerful. Lots of slow skanking tunes that jump into hyperkinetic flying fish type shyt and then back to the beach...No keyboardist this time out, but they had a couple extra horn players, and Mark Cross from Weapon of Choice and OPTIC NERVE on backing vocals.  Plainield, NJ native Spacey T is one of the most amazing guitarists in this or any galaxy (he learned from the best...) thismollyfock never ceases to blow I and I away. He can go from a clean acoustic sounding mellow ninth chords to blazing overdrive arpeggios in about 13 trillionths of a second...He's got all the bases (not basses, I'll talk about NORWOOD in a minute) loaded with mad skills. He dedicated one of the new numbers to Eddie, (he usually shouts out to the maggot brain on Shakey Ground). Spacey T is not of your world...  NORWOOD FISHER..."I just wanna know who in the FONK R U??? Can anyone slap a bass faster than Norwood?  I don't know, butt the man is DEEP...He and DIRTY WALT Kibby were shining some heavenly harmonies behind ANGELO DR. MADVIBE MOORE's frenetic falsetto and tenor stylings...Walt and Angelo milked menacing horn lines running counterpoint interference to the fretboard fanfares of Spacey and 'Wood...ANgelo has become a virtuoso on the theremin, he can practically sing all his vocal parts through the lightening rod...Through it all, drummer JOHN STEWARD tore shyt up...I like drummers who hit hard, homeboy is PISSED! I can't remember too many of the new song titles right now except for "Get OUTTA Town" and "Prima Donna". Only a few of these new joints Really hit me right off the bat, butt a lot of my fave F-BONE tunes were like that, they GROW ON YOU...(not like a fungus, butt like the kind of love that never dies, the sex just gets better...) After about a 2 hour set, FISHBONE adjourned to the 420 room...Angelo returned for little slice of DR. MADVIBE'S LINKOLGY (spoken word) and the band kicked out Alcoholic to close down the skankfest... I looked for PFUNK1, butt he had already hit the highway...hopefully he took one a dem WG's with him...just when I was leaving I peeped the O-DOG butt didn't get a chance to chit...I hope he does their new album cover... Don't get me wrong, we still need a LEFT COAST P-FUNK TOUR, some DRUGS, and a tripfest west, butt shyt like this makes me not feel so bad about missing all shyt that goes down back east...We get NUTT UP at the temple bar at least once or twice a month...  ¿Wish you were here? fly on... www.lamarmiles.com

c2k sep 1, 2001 las vegas, nv as the warm vegas night breeze blew in over the balcony, my homey pondered on his connections and how far they could take him. in his mind he logically mapped out  his network and enjoyed the far reaching possibilities. the las vegas strip was absolutely beautiful from inside this tremendous place. an hour before i was laying on the rollaway bed in the hotel room in post buffet mode thinking all i wanted to do was sleep. now here i am in the best club in maybe the  most happenng city in the world. on the official last party weekend of the summer. i felt good. i think we all felt good.

vinyl sep 21, 2001 templebar once again as i danced and vibed to the funky jazzy sound of vinyl, i hoped very deeply that i would always be able to this. i hoped that i would never get too famous, too popular or be too much of a "celebrity" to go to a normal club and just dance and sweat and trip out and vibe and freak the girls and just be completely free with the music. there are things i do publicly at these events that arent necessarily illegal, but wild and crazy. sometimes when i get lost in the music, eyes closed, upfront at the stage vibin deep for all to see, i look around and openly lust at all the young white girls dancin, i wonder how this looks me being a big 40 year old black man. i hope that i can always be completely uninhibited publicly no matter my age or if im the only black man in the building. its the music and the vibe that i get into. there may be clubs with folx more my demographic with the same positive vibe, music and openess that  find at the temple bar and other places, but i aint seen 'em. black clubs have a different vibe. not saying better or worse, just different and i prefer a club where i can dress how i want (very casually, sneakers) and just be relaxed and get crazy. and oh yeah, all them  cute ass girls vibin me back dont hurt a bit. i digs the openess and the energy.  like tonight, just groovin to a very tight band with pretty girls dancing and getting  into it all around me. and this night i mean they were VERY pretty. i hope that i dont become a ceo of a company or too "high up" in a public position of authority where i cant go out and be completely uninhibited.

woc makeshift jam band oct 7, 2001 templebar the jam band was lonnie, gabby, keaton, dave? (on percussion), a new drummer dude and norwood crashed the party and did a few raps at the end. gabby did this tai-chi yoga shiva type dance that i thought really cool, she was good. hung out with lamar and kareem a bit...it was cool, didnt get really deep down nasty funky but had many good moments. i almost forgot- at the end of the next to last song, lonnie started singing flashlight. i heard and recognized the music but it didnt hit me till a second later. "thats flashlight!" i smiled and looked up at lonnie and he was smiling back at me. its these little things that mean so much...

p-funk allstars nov 3, 2001 house of blues las vegas i rented a car and me and jessie rode up. george held the mic while billy bass got to sing, his voice is still there. rapped with baby payne in the audience and after show. the last song "a whole lot of shakin goin on" turned into a fressstyle jam that went on for 10 minutes maybe. most of the mob had left and chuck (roadie), mike h, billy and mcfadden were playin it. the rest of the mob, including george and blackbyrd, were on stage and vibin the energy. brian (the drifter) was there and before the show a 30 sumn white drunk  female started talking to us and i kinda passed her off to him, she was cool. me, jessie and the drifter hungout and we gave him a ride to the bus station. also after the show me and jessie chilled with this sister who said she was a stripper at the spearmint rhino. her and jessie talked while i danced to the house of blues house music. cloned maggot was there with his boys and he was feelin good cause he hit a slot machine for a couple grand. we stayed at the howard johnsons on tropicana.  the band was good, maybe kinda too good. maybe slightly a little too polished. i dont know and not even sure what i mean. almost a a too clean funk. the horns were hot. greg and benny went all out. you could see them both pushin themselves to hit higher and higher notes. stage was 6 feet high, dont think i like that. its always good to see the mob, always- kinda like seeing old friends...maybe my vegas energy was low, but now that i think about it there werent alot of girls there. seemed like hardly any and maybe that had an effect on me, i dunno. i had a good time but im not p-funk satisfied and i want more. told baby payne the drugs cd is gooooood. hollered at shelia horne after show and told her her cd was good and that we listened to it on the drive up.

toddy, abbey booth, jennifer barragan nov 13, 2001 templebar abbey booth has a cute white female 20 sum'n drummer. she used different percussions and electronics to create complicated beats. chris pierce joined them for a song and he played harmonica. tonight was flat ass night, i saw one girl who had no ass. she was wearing low riding tight jeans and when she got close i could  see how her hip bone became what was suppose to be her ass. jennifer barragan was coool (though she was flat too) and played lke a blues- rock-white soul type music. her guitarist was really good and she sported a stand-up bass in the band. toddy was ok. seems like nothing really exciting happened. i saw double-d,  weapon of choices horn there. all 3 groups played a bluesy-rock music and used electric acoustic guitars. toddy was really good with what he did with his electric acoustic guitar.

mandrill dec 6, 2001 bb kings universal city walk hooked up with talley for this. since i am broke he said he would help me out money wise. because of how unorganized this place is we ended up not having to pay. whole night cost me $8.  anywayz, mandrill is truly funky. to me this music sounds like it predates the funk i was raised on. more so than the james brown stuff. the crowd was stuffy at first, very stuffy. the band members were very warm, shook hands with a couple of them before and after the show. they made their way to the stage from their dressing room jamming percussion instuments. flattop, a cool dude who ive seen perform on venice beach before danced for a good while during a couple of songs on stage and he was jammin. crowd loosened up and we got funky. my vibe was on and i went off and away many times. saw a roadie dude i thought i remembered and i asked him to find out he did abbey booth at the temple bar when i was there.  mandrill was funky funky specially when they stretched out a funky groove. very rhythmic with lots of percussions. keyboard, organ, synth dude was funky funky too. it was good  to be out and around girls. girls of all ages and colors vibin out. it felt good to go off like that. more than once i wallowed in how good it feels.

slapback dec 7, 2001 bb kings universal city walk we went off this night. it was p-funk tribute night. slapback's lead singer asked for requests and folx (not me) was hollering "p-funk." bb kings is completely unorganized; no current info on website or outgoing message via phone and even when we got there no one knew how much to charge us. both nights we got a different answer to the same questions. i told the cute waitress from mississippi of  this unorganization and she wrote it down. i aint complaining though, we wasnt charged last night and $5 cover this night.  when they went into cosmic slop i fell out, literally. i was laying on the floor and a guy tried to help me up and asked was i ok. it moved me to see non-funky tourists dancing to mothership connection. (this was city walk so the crowd was really a non-funky one). slapback played the p-funk music with a very good energy and vibe. it may have been my p-funk shirt and enthusiasm that started all this.  me and talley talked to slapback's lead after the show about how cameo cancelled them a few months ago and other funk around town. wide variety of girls there though the place was not packed. city walk was not crowded at all. MANDRILL to SLAPBACK, pre- and post- "my funk" funk... Posted by PFUNK1 on 12/8/2001, 5:06 pm , in reply to "Bak2Bak funky nites@ BB King's" 64.160.144.189 funk for me started with mothership connection, so that is the sound on which i compare other funk... mandrill's music sounds like the stuff that came before "my funk." i can hear the roots and maybe how it influenced "my funk." like the headhunters "god made me funky," i think of this music more so as the roots of funk than james brown. (i know that i am still learning music histoy so if ya got  constructive info on this subject give it up) now slapback sounds like funk that came after "my funk." their sound is lighter, more fun and  has a brighter energy than parliament which is much less dark than funkadelic. last night slapback played: tear the roof off thumparoarus peoples atomic dog cosmic slop (guitar solo part as a high energy finish of a song) one nation mothership connection pumpin it up flashlight disco to go outro insurance man for the funk lyric ("partys, lots  of da-da, you can be sure when you're insured with the funk" over another song ) fire slide skin tight thank you for letting me be myself oooops up side yo head they played p-funk music with less of an edge than when the mob does it. but it wasnt "pop" sounding or generic, the music retained the funkiness but with a more energetic bounce to it. when i looked around and saw non-funk folx dancing to mothership connection it moved me. this was not a funk crowd but the music had energy at the right vibe for them to feel it while retaining its funkiness. "pumpin it up" was done very well also. and these wasnt snippets of songs. they played the full songs and some were even stretched out. the 20 sum'ns play music differently than the 40 sum'ns  play music differently than the 60 sum'ns 20yr old energy is different than 40yr old energy is different from 60yr old energy. funk encompasses all the energies in the universe 7 roses music to saturday afternoon by  most of all wefunk pfunk1.com

weapon of choice dec 9, 2001 templebar Weapon OC at the Temple Bar last night... Posted by Lamar... on 12/10/2001, 4:04 pm  64.24.190.32 hey airbody... Meganutt and co. tore shyt up last night at the temple bar...Audra (CMT are you listening?) was back in back in the house (last few times, she was MIA, touring w/Macy Gray) as was FISH on drums. During HIGHPERSPICE, Fish broke off one of the most pissed off drum solos I've ever heard...(i think he's been touring with Hootie too long, 'cause he played like he had some pent-up demons to get out) Lonnie called Double G for a sax solo after that, and he lowered his head to the mike and said, "Man, you know what, I can't follow that drumsolo..." The band was a little sloppy at times, but real enthused and full of energy. Keaton cut his hair, and Lonnie was sportin' that 'Bozo the Town' style process...After the show we copped Lonnie and Gabby's (sitar sister) 4 song EP called Love Balm. He said they play every saturday at a Thai restuarant. We're gonna try and book WOC up here in the 805, as well as the 415, 510 and 707...if y'all have any ideas or suggestions about booking the Nuttmegalomaniacs, let me know... peace mollyfocks...

soulive dec 14-15, 2001 templebar i love the temple bar and i love white people. but my fave place was too crowded with too many young white people. i dont like my place when its too crowded. funniest thing, i was standing in there with maybe 500 others and the only black folx in the joint was me, the 5 performers and 2 bouncers and fisher p plays james brown's say it loud, im black and im proud. it more than just struck me funny i exploded with laughter. and it was the scratchy original version lp with that steady flat bass line and tight drums. it was bumpin. the soul of john black quoted george clinton between songs "we're the opening act, we can't come back. ya gets no more, ya gets no encore. get dressed!!!" this excited me. it was good to see dj haul. soulive ripped both nights but it seemed night one was better even though the band seemed more relaxed and ready to rip. might have been me and my energy being in a more chill mode on this 2nd night in a row. either way, i still enjoyed the experience. i did the first night's show in the back.  soulive ripped. i figured neal's style out. he likes to groove holding the high. not on the anticipation and transition from holding it to drving motion. i learned to ride on that high note as he sustains and increase the frequency and movement within it. kerringer on horn was really good, really really. he was joined by a trombone on saturday for a couple of songs. 2nd night the mood was set more than once to get to a higher level but no one on stage took charge of the music and solo'ed. we hoovered at idle at this highly energized increased frequency for more than a minute

jack bruce and the cuicoland express dec 17, 2001 house of blues hollywood jack bruce was rotten. (rotten may be too rough and dramatic a word). his bass playing skills though 100 times better than mine were way below what im use to seeing in concert. his singing was subpar, he struggled to keep up with his own band constantly.  its been a long time since i saw a performance that i thought was bad.  scooped up talley standing on sunset blvd and we went to wendys so he could eat. ran into bernie worrell as we walked in and i got to introduce myself and shake the hand of the man who played all those p-funk hits that i love. it was that sound from him playing the keyboards on mothership connection that caught my attention and hooked me to p-funk. talley had passes so we got in free ($15 to park!!! i didnt tip the valet this night). vernon reid from living color is also in the band and he was good. he and bernie were the reasons i went. jack bruce had trouble keeping up with them. saw frankie waddy in the house. we were in the meet & greet area waiting for bernie but i got tired and we left. lamarmiles.com and kareem showed up late and got in free. said what up to vernon reid at the meet & greet. not alot of girls there but an awful lot of very very very very cute boys and guys (one in particular). some kinda industry thing was also going on.    JACK BRUCE's Cuicoland Express Feat. Vernon Reid & Bernie Worrell HOB LA 12/17 Posted by Pfunkjazz on 12/18/2001, 1:05 pm  It was an interesting night of rock-funk at the House of Blues. It was certainly not PFUNK, but it was definitely some hardcore rockin'. First off, I have to state my knowledge of CREAM songs begins and ends with "Sunshine of Your Love", plus a few lines of "White Room" (I think I know "Cocaine"). So my big pull in checking this gig was to support Bernie Worrell and Vernon Reid: PFUNK and Living Colour are the hardest funkin' rock bands I still dig. Bernie was to my left on organ (Wurlitzer?) and Vernon was on my right with his crescent moon 6-string (he brought out the mottled coloured one too!). Center was Jack Bruce on bass with a unattended ROLAND keyboard off to his right. In the background were two COMPLETE trap drumsets left and right, while in the center was hand drummer Richie Flores on congas. Once again (from previous PFUNK shows), I must fault the HOB-LA PA system. The vocals were very muddy. I could not understand a single word from Jack Bruce. I felt a lot of the vibe and it was mostly good. Since this mostly a rock show, I must point out that the bass comes off totally different. There's no slapping and thumping of the strings. Matter-of-fact, Bruce didn't do very many runs. He will sit and pluck one note repeatedly. Very un-FUNKY, but it was still cool. I don't wanna hold him to my expectations. Bernie was stellar on organ. I cheered "WOO! WOO!" off his solos. (Kudos to Judie for FED EXing me a WOO tee to style at the show. I got stopped 3 X by dudes checking the shirt). There was a number that was just WOO backing Bruce on the Roland and he had two other tasty solos. Vernon was really a different kind of guitarist. He dropped a lot of Curtis Mayfield tye licks and ramped things up a bit on the ambient nosie thing. I dug him on "Sunshine" and the riffs on "White Room" were doone as a ska kind of thing. As I mentioned there were two drummers and a percussionist. I don't follow why, but it raised the funk level a bit.  Since I was really unfamilar with Bruce's work, a lot of the songs seemed to be jams off a particular theme or mode. He's a decent bass player, though too efficient to be funky. I can't really rave about his singing either (what I could make of it). Came off like a drunken Scotsman bellowing. (LOL). I can't say I'm a fan, but I dig Bruce for putting Woo and Vernon before this rock crowd. (Oh yeah, Lamar and Hassim showed up and Lamar said "everyone looked like a rock critic". Meaning the guys were mostly white dudes in their late 40s, balding or hair tied back in a graying ponytail. There were a couple of brothas there too). I think they played about 2.5 hours with two extended encores Afterwards, I talked to Vernon and he confirmed LC will be back in the area next month at HOB Anaheim, but the exact date or lineup is still up in the air (ok I'm hoping WOO WARRIORS will open for them. A definite upcoming show at HOB LA is MOS DEF with WOO and Wil Calhoun and Doug Wimbish. It's on Jan 4 with an "ALL AGES" policy.

kofy brown, tre, kevin sandbloom dec 22, 2001 templebar i came to this place this night to see kofy brown. i was in the mood for some blackness. my fave place struck me as funny again as i looked around at all the white people. looking around i didn't see anyone who had rhythm. or at least the beat of the rhythm that me, the band or the music was on. lotsa friendly young white girls just having a good time. kofy brown was good with her skinny left handed self, we grooved. definitely felt her vibe. her keyboards was trying to get funky too. chillin for the next band, tre, i saw mark (weapon of choice's keys) and then i saw keaton simons (woc's guitar). then i saw mark moving keyboards. i had no idea they was in tre. keaton was spirited with his guitar playing and short hair look. i always enjoy mr simon. mark was good on the keys and the band vibed out more than once with solos between the raps and singing. cute skinny mixed female with voice also in the group, she sang a bit. kevin sandbloom was guitar-bass-percussion with a good upper mid tempo movement. he has a good voice (like hootie and creed dude). i think i need to be around some black people. (less the traditional black people rules, roles and protocols). as always i had a good time, i love the temple bar and all it seems to be about...

fishbone dec 27, 2001 keyclub this place this night was 14 & over so there were alot of young white kids there early to see the opening bands. in fact i felt very old for awhile. though i dont fully vibe fishbone's punk/ska energy, i can still feel it. as the show was going on i looked around and noticed how these mostly white kids feel the music- how many were dancing, head bobbing and what beat they seemed to be on. i tried to sync with the bounce and beat they were on to see what part of the music they were responding to. i think i found alot of the music was not rhythmic at all. i think the music is designed not to have a central beat. most of the energy is expressed in the mosh pits and that needs no rhythm, just chaotic energy.  spacy t was good on guitar as always. i think it was sarah, norwood's girl who was having a good time releasing energy, stage dived and went into the crowd with aggressive physical energy. the thing about her is that she is an attractive black girl with a nice booty. ok, the booty part may have nothing to do with it but to see a black female that attractive express semi-angry aggressive non-personal violent physical energy was very refreshing. i mean she crowd surfed like a whiteboy, hit the floor, jumped up and banged some more. lonnie from weapon of choice was in the house. they played dirty walts stuff before the fishbone set and it was really funky. as i was vibin' the house music between sets in the back of the club a girl started to feel the music behind me. i noticed out of the corner of my eye that she was rockin out. then she playfully and very friendly points out to me a crazy video that was showing on the many video screens. she was full of energy and cute, then as she walked away i saw them jeans she was wearing and i remembered feeling her energy from outside the place. during the show she got up on stage (the only one at that time from the crowd) and angelo let her stay as she asked if sh could dance to the next song. she did and though her rhythm could have been better, her energy was good. she really got into it and at times shook it kinda right in them tight jeans she was wearing. her name was reagan and she was cute.

medusa and feline science dec 28, 2001 templebar ok, im writing later but i had to at least mention this. my fave place trips me out again in the culture crossing department. im standing there listening to a black bi-sexual female talk about how much she loves black men in packed house of 20 sumn white people who are deep into the music. the temple bar was unusually packed this night due to medusa's following and it tripped me out (again) to see white people embracing music that is intentionally and philosophically black. maybe there is something im not seeing or know yet and thats cool cause im always learning. in fact, as i type this i got the idea of asking these kids about their motivation towards this music the next time it goes down. i definitely should at least ask dj haul and dj mason where they get it from cause they play music that is deeper than what i got!!! another cool thing this night was seeing keaton simons playing with the band. i was like "is there a band he doesnt play with???" i got home and researched and found he is medusa's musical director. the more i see mr simons the more i like him.

food bowl jan 2, 2002 pasadena, ca even gospel gives up the funk... Posted by jeffery on 1/2/2002, 10:41 pm 63.206.235.170 im kickin it in oldtown pasadena at the "food bowl" -a pre bcs championship game street food festival- and im listenin to the bands. when this small gospel band and choir breaks off into the (not just)knee deep "oh oh oh..." chorus. the band already had my head bobbin' but when they broke off dat'funkystuff i jumped to my feet and gave it up. the lead singer looks at me and says "you know that one, huh?" i very proudly waved my funk sign high for him & all to see. he had the crowd sing it several times. this gospel group sang maybe 5 songs and the only call to sing from the stage was to sang dat'p-funkystuff... (oh how the music moves me) i am constantly amazed how wide spread p-funk is. in my early days funk was a bad word, now look at it. the theory is my thang... pfunk1.com

bcs national championship rose bowl pictures jan 3, 2002 rose bowl p-funk is my weapon of choice... Posted by jeffery on 1/4/2002, 10:50 am , in reply to  "semi-entelechical experiences..." and i shall fear no evil ok, so i make the above "semi-entelechical" post and m feeling pretty good having just made a few dollars. i think to myself that the national championshipof college football is being played damn near in my backyard and the least i should do is go hang out and maybe take a few pictures... so i cruise to pasadena and right off the 134 fwy on colorado blvd (the main drag) i find a parking space. this in itself is a mini-miracle considering i was about 1.5 miles from the rose bowl. so i say let me atm $60 and maybe scalp a ticket after the game starts at super bargain basement prices. lots of folx selling tickets and as i walk i inquire about single tickets. $150, then $75, then a guy asks me how much i want to pay. i say $40. he says "you must not want to go to the game" and i say i kinda don't and keep walking. he kinda angrily says ok for $40. (when you detect a slight tone of true anger you've bargained correctly). so now my unemployed pfunk1 steeler jersey wearing black ass is giddy. beautiful ticket in hand the first people i come to i say "man i shouldn't be here! i cant afford this shyt!" these dudes were drunk as hell, but very cool. they started following me down the hill when one sees the back of my jersey. he then starts to run down the p-funk he knows. funny thing is, he was maybe 25ish and the main songs he went to were "standing on the verge" and "cosmic slop" and not the popular stuff. i danced and sang p-funk as we walked down to the stadium... entering the stadium the house music was playing salt & pepper's "push it" which i thought kinda funky for this relatively conservative crowd. i bounced to it a bit. as i made my way to my seat which was miami side endzone 15 rows from field, the next song played on the rose bowl public address system was flashlight pfunk1.com corso sucks chant. my seat was in the miami hurricane section right by the espn stage and the crowd knew that corso was gonna pick nebraska to win. so they were chanting "corso sucks." another cool taunt they had was "win your conference" refering to the fact that the nebraska cornhuskers didnt even win their conference but was playing for national title.  the cornhuskers were a slow white team and their band was very conservative (andrews sisters song) and square unlike the sexy girls and funky band from miami (alice cooper song) 4 air force jets did a fly over as yplanda adams finished the star spangled banner talking to russian accent chauffeur so much red from nebraska, over half of stadium. it was obvious the political and financial power this team has from its fan support. and i mean they all were dressed in red, it was impressive. the team obviously didnt deserve to be there but judging by high number of fans and the support you know they give you can see why they were selected. the cheerleaders look too young, im getting old. they look like kids crowd very cool, friendly spirited dudes hollering p-funk (for me)
