There have been several branding attempts on WFNK.com over the years, including the funk e-griot, the funk supersite, no fake afros, and the not-so-modest center of the online funk universe, whatever that means.
The point was to use this new technology to build a community of music lovers around the expansive, beautiful exploration of anything funky, by any means necessary.
Many trends have come and gone since WFNK.com launched 18 years ago, but the goal remains the same (even if diluted through the current anti-facebook format): WFNK.com brings the funk to the masses and represent the funky music and lifestyle that is key for survival on planet earth.
Plus we do it daily and free of charge, and have for almost 2 decades now.
To that end, a new project has started that should really hit that target: I’ve begun plans to digitize and videoize some of my record collection in HD. It’s a time consuming process and they could always pull it down so it will be 1 song at a time, but it should be fun to hear and see the true vinyl and discuss the funk within.
Maybe we get some contributors to the cause, or link to some existing stuff where people post funk vinyl playbacks?
I know of some new places on the web that will be cross-posting this stuff, and if y’all tweet or share it that would be all we need.
