Initial H/R Video Indexing: P-Funk, Cosmic Slop, and Filename Location Clues

This is an initial research post from the first H: and R: video-index build. The catalog contains 8,063 videos. The purpose of this pass was to see how much useful organization could be recovered from filenames and folder names before doing deeper transcript, visual, or geolocation work.

How the process developed

1. Search the full H: and R: catalog for PFunk, P-Funk, and related spelling variants.
2. Review the matching filenames and paths for recognizable song, performance, project, or event names.
3. Search those results for Cosmic Slop and related spelling variants.



4. Look for venue, city, state, event, or performance clues embedded in the filename.
5. Keep the result clearly labeled as filename evidence. A filename is a useful clue, not proof of an exact location or song identity.

Initial counts

• 8,063 videos in the completed H: and R: catalog.
• 182 videos with PFunk/P-Funk in the full path or filename.
• 91 videos with PFunk/P-Funk directly in the filename.
• 27 filenames containing Cosmic Slop, CosmicSlop, or a spacing variant.
• 17 Cosmic Slop filenames containing a named venue, place, event, or performance-context clue.
• 3 Cosmic Slop records also matched PFunk/P-Funk in the path or filename.

Examples of filename clues

• cosmic_slop-yoshis.avi — Yoshi’s appears to be a venue clue.
• P-FUNK_WarrenOH_CosmicSlop.mp4 — Warren, Ohio appears in the name.
• L.A.Maggots_20210131-CosmicSlop.mp4 — L.A. appears in the name.
• Oly-FunkJam-Slide-CosmicSlop-etc.wmv — Oly/Funk Jam appears as an event or place clue.
• FunkateersBall2024_cosmicSLOP.mp4 — Funkateers Ball appears as an event clue.
• GCBookSigning-CosmicSlop.wmv — George Clinton book-signing context appears in the name.
• Katdelic Cosmic Slop.mp4 — Katdelic appears as a performance/project clue.
• WOC-CosmicSlop.mp4 — WOC appears as a project or event clue.
• P-FUNK NYC 2021 - Maggot Brain.mp4 — a separate P-Funk-related filename with a New York clue and a song title.
• 20260926_215533 - P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up) - thin-banner.mp4 — a direct song-title clue.

What this tells us

The filenames already contain a useful rough index of songs, performances, projects, events, and possible locations. They also show why the next layer should be a separate personal location-reference document: confirmed GPS data, filename clues, folder context, and later human notes should remain distinguishable.

Important: this is an initial raw filename-based listing. It does not claim that every filename is an official song title, that every venue name is the exact filming location, or that a city name proves where the camera was located. The deeper video metadata pass found GPS tags for 817 videos, which can be compared with these filename clues.
