music: something totally awesome I found on teh internet

A top quality Bernie Worrell live show!

I was nosing around Archive.org looking for fresh Elliott Smith live sets and tripped over this quality performance by Bernie's Woo Warriors.

He was the keyboard controls of the mothership during the heyday of Parliament/Funkadelic and remains on the cutting edge today as a member of freak-rock collective Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains along with two former members of Primus, Les Claypool & Brain and faceless guitar sociopath Buckethead.

This is some top-drawer organic funk, and the recording is A-1 considering it's a bootleg. I especially dug the cover of Super Stupid, one of my favorite Funkadelic cuts. The guitarist is no Eddie Hazel, but he holds his own, and the rhythm section kicks. Check it.
