Just wanted everyone to know that I'm not dead. I've been playing out steadily with that new band that I told you guys about before. We've become quite a hit locally. Everyone that books us tells us we're great, etc and asks us back. However, it's been kind of hard getting our foot in the door at some of the other places around town. (we're still playing almost every weekend of the next few months) If anyone wants to come to the Youngstown, Ohio area to see us let me know and I'll get you a schedule...hehehee.

The song -

So, I wrote a funk song to play live with the band (Groove Clinic) so we could mess around, do solos and introduce each other. I've posted the "me" solo version on my Soundclick page. When I figure out how to make an MP3 out of one of the many live versions that I have on CD I will and you can hear the difference. Let me know what you think!

I knew u had 2 have SOME funk in u listening 2 Prince!

Yeah man, this is nice 2 hear from u again dude! Im glad 2 c that u are playin with Groove Clinic. Did u use that image that was given 2 u (i 4got which orger made it 4 u)?

Groove Clinic
What we gonna do?


The background vocals were kinda low, but other than that this is probably the tightest production that have heard from u yet boyyee.

Even threw in a lil Mowwis













BAAA HAWW!!!!

nice avatar..lookin like a cutie

Thanks, man. That's just my hardass pose from a band shot. I tried to use my bare ass as an avatar, but it won't let me....sheesh. LOL

Did my ears deceive me or did artist08 just get FONKY...

I didn't know you had it in you, man?!?!??!?!

Of course I did! I've got plenty more songs that you've all never heard (probably never will) and a lot of them are funk, too. I just have a hard time finishing things...lol. Thanks, Psyko.

yo Artist, you have fallen off into the funk juice. It's alot different from your other stuff. I thought u were more into a country/pop/rock kind of thing. It's good 2 see your versatility.

Thanks. It just seems that I NEVER actually FINISH my funkier songs. I have numerous unfinished funk tracks on my Zoom Recorder. Maybe it's usually that I'm not entirely happy with the bass parts (I want 'em superfonky) or the lack of syncopation with the drum loops (that I'm too lazy to program). But, I still have many pop/rockin' tracks/licks/ideas that are unfinished, too. You know how that goes. Maybe eventually I'll get to them...sigh.

VERY VERY VERY nice. You get five stars.

MORE BASS GUITAR. Louder? More up front? Dunno. But it's the one thing that kinda stands out as hiding. ("stands out as hiding" ... heh. I'm quite the thesaurus).

WooHOO!! I finally got you to LIKE something I did!! YES! hahaha...

You're right about the bass, but there's also a hum because of the bass (don't ask me, I have no clue), in case you didn't notice after the opening guitar licks when I brought the bass up. Thanks!

Who else cares to sing my praises?? New avator too! Anyone?? LOL

artist08 said:

Yoh! Funkadelik groove man. Great song! Avatar is cool.Your 'Happening'.Production issues aside, as they've been addressed, i reckon Prince would wish he could do this kinda stuff again I particularly like your funk guitar and the keyboard track stands as authentic Prince genre.

FLUX said:

Thanks very much! I'm going to try to make an MP3 of the live version to upload on there next. Big difference.....

My band's playing tomorrow and I want everyone to be there.

If you change the drumtrack I think you have a very cool funky track here! Nice synths indeed...

I want to re-record it with my band, actually. This was something that I just whipped up as a showcase for the players. Thanks!
