My place of work is a quiet office for
most of the year. Almost library like at times. But at this time of year, specifically
the last couple of days before our extended festive break, it all changes as
our boss in his infinite wisdom “treats” us to Classic Gold on the tinniest of radios. I am
ready to throw myself out of the window by 11 o’clock in the morning.
We don’t have much turnover staff-wise but
this year a new “young” (30something) colleague has joined the team. He was
ready to throw himself out of the window by 10 o’clock I think.
At times to try and combat the general cacophony
we discussed music.. er.. worth talking about (in a music snob type kind of way,
of course). I have turned him on to Augustus Pablo lately and he is in the
process of recommending early hip-hop and rap that I should investigate. I can’t
remember precisely why now, but he mentioned the name George Clinton today. “God” was my
immediate response. I urged him to
explore all of the Parliafunkadelicment Thang catalog.
