#472 The Bit-52's The World's Greatest Robot Parts Band playing The B-52's - Rock Lobster
Thank you for this YouTube user bd594. His inspiration according to his site.
"This is dedicated to all fans of The B-52’s who are also known as the “Worlds Greatest Party Band”. This idea has been simmering in my mind for the last couple of years and after many months of procrastinating it is finally complete. I was also motivated to finish my robot band after seeing a YouTube Video from “The Trons” from New Zealand.
The Bit-52’s consist of:
Fred’s Vocals - TI99/4a computer, speech synthesizer and terminal emulator ii module
Kate and Cindy’s Vocals - Two HP Scanjet 3C scanners, UBunto and sjetplay written by NuGanjaTron
The Guitar, Keyboard, Cow Bell, Cymbal and Tambourine are all controlled by various types of push/pull solenoinds for a total of 23. The Solenoids are powered by four ULN2803 darlington drivers and everything is controlled by two PIC16F84A microcontrollers".

#464 Ahh... The Name's Bootsy Baby!
Apart from full-god Prince, I also saw half-god Bootsy Collins play North Sea Jazz last Sunday. While watching I was wondering by myself... How does one play the funk. Luckily the person I was standing with reminded me of a BBC show from the early 80's called "Rockschool". In episode three "How to play funk", the likes of Herbie Hancock, Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins explain how. Watch the clip in the beginning for some funny as hell opening credits and Herbie's welcome words, then skip to 3:37 to find out about Bootsy Collins' "One".

#456 James Brown's Miso Soup
Of course Eddy Murphy did a great James Brown parody on SNL back in the 80's, but no one does a better James Brown then James Brown himself. See this Miso soup commercial to understand why.
