“Great show as always! Lots of stuff you know.. lots of stuff you don’t! Presented by the always fun hosts. As this whole show is about nerding out, it would be remiss of me not to point out a few corrections -this is a safe space I hope.
I’d like to thank the ‘oracal’ that is Quest love for gifting the UK with a whole new subculture called ‘Northern Funk’. Apparently championed by Norman Cook! Who knew? Perhaps he meant Northern soul ( Cook being a big fan) That really started in the mid seventies UK and was a scene of populated by young working class kids. Whole other podcast. By my estimation, Norman Cook was about 10 years old then- so a true child musical savant apparently. Didn’t the Roots live in the UK for a while?
Also the connection between Spice girls Mel B and public enemy is that Eddie Murphy and Chuck D were friends before Public Enemy. Murphy went on to Marry and divorce Mel B. There single Wannabe doesn’t sample any of James Brown’s fantastic drummers.
All show are definitely worth you ear time. Enjoy!
Thanks guys”
