Artist: funkadelic

With a smart assist from Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples transforms Funkadelic's "Can You Get To That" from a sing-along slab of greasy-good uplift into this Americana-inflected groover. Now spare and propulsive, the underlying theme of karmic comeuppance found on this tune - originally included on 19712s Maggot Brain - rises to the fore, dovetailing perfectly with the sharply topical [...]

• antirecords - Mavis Staples- Can You Get To That

In an attempt to save you (not to mention ourselves) from the general Monday-morning awfulness that tends to follow a lovely spring weekend, Flavorwire has compiled a playlist of indie/rock/generally guitar-based songs that are genuinely funny. These are 20 of the flat-out wittiest and most amusing songs we know - and we guarantee that at least one of them will make you chuckle. (Note: we're discounting actual comedy songs here, so no Lonely Island/Flight of the Conchords/etc.) Keep the hilarity going by adding to our list in the comments. [...]

Cordell “Boogie” Mosson - RIP

The legendary Mavis Staples returns with a new album on June 25th called One True Vine on Anti- . The album was produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, who played all the instruments on the record except for drums, which were handled by Tweedy's 17 year old son, Spencer. Stavis makes a stop in Philly at the end of May to take part in WXPN's Non-Comm music conference, and she'll be opening for Dave Matthews Band on June 28 and June 29 at the Susquehanna Bank Center. Below, listen to her cover of Funkadelic's [...]

73-year old soul singer Marvis Staples collaborates with Jeff Tweedy on Funkadelic's 'Can You Get to That'

After spending most of Thursday listening to Maggot Brain , it is rather appropriate to have stumbled upon the following near hour-long documentary of Parliament Funkadelic made in 2005.  Embedded below for your viewing pleasure, One Nation Under A Groove  profiles George Clinton's musical projects that culminated in 'P-Funk' and of course it's legacy on modern rap music and  that awesome Jeremy Piven movie .

This year marks the 25th anniversary of venerable indie-label Sub Pop . The Seattle-based record label helped defined the sound of the Pacific Northwest in the late '80s/early '90s putting our records from the likes Mudhoney, Soundgarden, TAD and Nirvana. Over the last decade, the label that was once known almost exclusively as the home to grunge, has reinvented itself bringing us critically acclaimed albums from the likes of Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Band of Horses, Iron & Wine, The Head & The Heart and Flight Of The Conchords.

On June 25th Mavis Staples will release the Jeff Tweedy produced One True Vine , her follow up to 20102s   You Are Not Alone , also produced by Tweedy . Our first listen from the album come in the form of a cover of Funkadelic's "Can You Get to That." It's the perfect mix of folk, and funk with Tweedy's guitar keeping the sound laid-back while an eclectic mix of layered vocals push the cover into the upbeat, funky realm of the original. [...]

Chicago soul legend Mavis Staples will be making her return on June 25th with the album One True Vine via Anti- . Just like her 2010 release, You Are Not Alone , this one was produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy recorded at his studio, The Loft, in Chicago. Mr. Tweedy and his son do a majority of the instrumentation on the album. The first song is a cover of Funkadelic's "Can You Get To That" from their classic LP, [...]

Mavis Staples is once again teaming with producer Jeff Tweedy on her upcoming album One True Vine. 20102s You Are Not Alone was fantastic, so I'm excited to see this pairing return. Our first peek into the album comes from Pitchfork, who premiered this cover of Funkadelic's classic track "Can You Get to That."

The legendary Mavis Staples previously recruited Wilco's Jeff Tweedy to produce her 2010 album You Are Not Alone , and the two have since reunited for another go-around in the studio. On June 25th, ANTI- Records will release their latest collaboration, One True Vine . Recorded at Wilco's Loft in Chicago, the album spans 10 tracks and features Tweedy and his son Spencer (!) playing nearly every instrument. The tracklist includes a cover versions of Low's "Holy Ghost" from the Tweedy-produced The Invisible [...]

Three years ago, the great Chicago soul and gospel legend Mavis Staples released You Are Not Alone , the comeback album that Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy produced for her. In a couple of months, she'll follow that up with her new LP One True Vine , another full-length Tweedy collaboration. (I'm going way out on a limb and guessing that the title has nothing to do with Twitter looping-video apps.) Staples recorded the album entirely at Wilco's Chicago studio the Loft, and Jeff and his son Spencer play almost every instrument on it, which aww. The album includes [...]

It’s  Mixtape March  here at NH7.in and Captain Awesome is back. Captain Awesome’s mission is to save the world, one mixtape at a time. Hey Captain Awesome , I have a friend called Tray-C (pictured). He loves jazz music as well as the blues but he's hung up on oldies like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and new blues artists like Gary Clark Jr. and some other boring dudes. I really want to switch shit up for him because he needs to listen to some bomb-ass, new-age [...]

______________________________ ____________________________ 100. Phil Collins - "In The Air Tonight" Face Value , 1981 Phil Collins wrote a song about his divorce that was so taxing, macabre, and vitriolic that people actually thought he witnessed the death of another human and was seeking either atonement or vengeance with the line, “I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life.” In truth, Collins just knew that wretched heartbreak would find him sooner or later. Look at his sad face! But [...]
