..but I feel I must say thankyou to the Massive for some inspired blog postings.
If everything goes as it should I'll be a father for the first time in May, and the baby thread had a mix of warmth and wisdom that I don't think you'll find anywhere else on the web. This could pretty much be said for the blog in general.
I hope this goes some way towards saying thankyou, some prime-era Meters from a Dr John TV special c.1974, possibly the funkiest thing I've seen on You Tube since that Stevie Wonder doing Superstition on Sesame St clip that was on here a while back
Happy New Year everyone!

All the best for the baby when the big day comes
It's the beginning of the great adventure!
The Meters?
Stevie Wonder? Sounds like mini-mack will have a good start in life
I used to rock my daughter off to sleep to this
As Becker & Fagen wrote
about Mr Parker's Band, the Meters have "a smooth style of syncopation". Totally unique. One of my favourite albums is Dr. John's Desitively Bonaroo - a funky funky record indeed.
Renowned funk scientists
Dr.George Porter Jr and Professor Zigaboo Modeliste (who, incidentally came first in the best name of all time award) found ways to stay ahead of and simultaneously behind the groove, both inside and outside of the damn thing.
Here's an example of their consciousness expanding work - "Soul Machine"
