What I'm listening to today: "Why Don't You Think About Me - Instant Funk."

I've always liked funk, but only recently started exploring what's out there. For such an influential genre, it's surprisingly obscure -- there's minimal information about lots of bands, and tons of amazing music is hard to find.

So, this is a pretty deep cut, and I have no idea why, because it's incredible. A blend of funk, disco, and early rap, it manages to walk the line between musical excellence and unabashed party music. Sounds great even on trash speakers, but if you don some half-decent headphones and give it a proper listen, there's *so much* going on. Just really terrific stuff.
