...on Parliament Funkadelic, the most important and best funk band in the history of music, and one of the most important bands period. The band displayed so much talent in their recordings and live performances. It's the collaboration of 2 bands, Parliament and Funkadelic, consisting of the same members but recording on different labels. They were headed up by George Clinton and finally decided to just combine the names. The result was the best and funkiest band ever, and some of the most dynamic and INSANELY entertaining live performances in music history.


This video is an introduction....you have to watch the whole thing. This was during their Mothership Connection tour....they bring the Mothership down on stage at the end, so you HAVE to watch it all the way through....because you have to see who comes down along with the Mothership, standing there in all his badass, influential glory. The Lord of Funk.


I see The Mothership comin!

Bootsy Collins!

For Children of the 90's....

K, so I saw this bulletin on myface....or was it spacebook...I don't know. Anyways, I actually thought it was pretty cool and it reminded me of all this cool stuff all the cool kids used to do in the 90's. So this is for 90's kids only, meaning you had to be born like at least before 92 or 91, so you can actually REMEMBER this stuff. I say the cutoff age is like 17. If anybody older wants to write stuff, they're more than welcome to, since they can remember how weird some of this stuff was.

I'm gonna paste a lot of what was mentioned on that note, and also some of the stuff I added.

You had at least one of the Jock Jams series of CD's.

You remember watching Star Trek TNG or Voyager like every night and your dad or mom actually recorded them on VHS, so your memories of those shows have snippets of commercial interruptions.



Okay...I remember wearing backwards pants at a party or two when I was real little because of Kriss Kross!

You played the original Jurassic Park game where you were Grant and all tiny, it was topdown, all you had for a while was a zapper, and it went into first person mode when you went inside. ULTRA hard game.

You played the even cooler Jurassic Park game which was a sidescroller where you could be Grant OR a raptor. Badass!!

But this is reserved for only the really, really cool people. I'm pretty sure of the people I tagged, this includes my brother, Matt Stickley, and Casey.....possibly Bryon. I hope you played them! If not, you're missing a huge chunk of your life. Seriously.

On those floppies, you played:

Commander Keen (amazing, amazing game)
Halloween Harry (soooo freaking cool)
Alien Carnage (More Halloween Harry)
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (totally, totally rad, beautiful game)
The original Duke Nukem sidescrollers (one and two were freaking sweet, and better than the FPS's, I think)

*******IF ANYONE REMEMBERS ANY OF THESE OTHER THAN MY BROTHER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, INCLUDING ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED LUCASARTS GAMES**********


So add what you remember here, and also add what you still DO, no matter how embarassing.
