Yes you're right it's usually called strut... i read something about it somewhere. I think it said that the stomp version is a slightly alternate version or take or something. I'll look into that :)
i'm actually not really that knowledgeable in the funk department. i discovered that Public Enemy sampled The Grunt in one of their tracks by hearing it in a record store one day. lots of good funk sampled in rap and hip hop, i realized. anyway, speaking of good funk, great mix! thanks for the funk discussion as well!! :)
Wow Aunt13, you're a really knowledgeable funkateer! Yeah I like that pained quality in the lyrics a lot too. Funny that this is from the same guy that did the imo mushy "Just the Two of Us". Or maybe that is the other side of the same coin if you know what i mean. I like afrobeat a lot :) this compilation is really good... you may know it http://www.amazon.com/Afro-Rock-1-Various-Artists/dp/B0000641BQ JB's (from what i heard are amazing.. a super precise army of giant funkmachines. Will check out all the recommendations! Thanks. :p
and re: the afrobeat track... wonderful!! if you want more afrobeat, you should check out DJ Franco's: http://voodoofunk.blogspot.com/ or let me know; i have a tiny collection

Originally i wanted to put a Baby Huey pic on here for cover art. Alas I couldn't find a good one.
⃠sidekick plus June 05, 2011
i think your Iris pic fits the title perfect though... it's so, so, soooo wrong of me to find that sexy isn't it?! *perv*
⃠sidekick plus June 05, 2011
just for the record... i don't find the idea of a 12 year-old hooker sexy... she looks at least 17 in that picture.... :-S
⃠KatamariCore btrxz June 05, 2011
*Cough, cough.... erm. ahum. I'd better shut up :p You girl-perv!!!
⃠KatamariCore btrxz June 05, 2011
btw didn't remeber exactly how old Jodie was during shooting and how old Iris was supposed to be. ii remember the uderage part.
⃠sidekick plus June 05, 2011
sadly, i do... Iris was 12. Jodie was 13/14. *gulp* please don't inform the authorities about me.
⃠KatamariCore btrxz June 05, 2011
It's a good thing this is the internets and no one is reading along..! Anyway i agree with you she looks like 17 here.. at least 17... yep ;p
