Maybe "i'm the _____" or "in the _____"? I'll check p control!

I always thought that song was called Pussy Control

i am listening to THE B-SIDES right now and it's f'in sweet
― brimstead, Wednesday, 9 November 2016 00:08 (seven years ago) link
B sides is utterly indispensable
It is fitting that those songs got remastered so long before a lot of albums did

My love for Prince is eternal but what was going through his head when he decided to send Joni Mitchell this demo...would of love to of been there when she heard it...
― X-Prince Protégé (sonnyboy), Saturday, 12 August 2017 07:12 (six years ago) link
just a guess... "shit, man, i love joni but she needs some serious help. she can do way better than 'dog eat dog' and this michael mcdonald shit."

never thought I would say such a thing but that's a somewhat underwhelming prince and a piano live recording from 1983
― niels, Thursday, 7 June 2018 14:00 (five years ago) link
happy 60th prince

pretty solid track selection on that comp too
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 17 August 2018 16:03 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I definitely agree with that - pretty much everything I would have chosen is on there!
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Friday, 17 August 2018 16:09 (five years ago) link
Could use more 3121 tracks imo ('Satisfied' is my favorite hidden gem)
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 17 August 2018 16:12 (five years ago) link
yeah they prob could've left off a few thousand minute jazz fusion jams

man I'd forgotten how solid Musicology is.

It's appropriate the anthology has godawful cover art in spirit with the period's albums

Can't think of a single situation where playing Sign O the Times would be inappropriate.

::SPOILER ALERT::I thought his song in the closing credits was the best part of BlackkKlansman.
― Fetchboy, Tuesday, 21 August 2018 15:51 (five years ago) link
I'm sure I could think of a few.
(x-post)
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 21 August 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
is there anyway to hear that blackklansman song without seeing the movie? (it's not in theaters here)
― niels, Tuesday, 21 August 2018 16:13 (five years ago) link
it's his version of Mary Don't You Weep that surfaced a few months back
― ant banks and wasp (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 21 August 2018 21:45 (five years ago) link

was watching that WMGGW RRHoF solo again and had never thought of before how ballsy a move it is to not only throw the guitar after the solo, but Prince is wearing a hat while doing this, and how easily could it have tipped his hat, but of course no, because Prince can somehow by sheer will pull these things off
like the way he enters the car at 1:30 in this video, which surely is a first take, but how does he know that he can do this and it won't go wrong:
