prince

a pretty routine funk band formless jamming and prince mostly watched and or diddled around on keyboards every once in a while

bummed I apparently missed this rare live performance of the N.E.W.S. album in its entirety

oh man, the short lived mixalot blog

xpost hahah! : )

lol shakey

huh, this Mix song from 2010 is really weird and minamalistic and samples Gary Numan and has a million view and is kind of awesome? I wasn't even aware of it til now

xpost I was totally taking the piss. But a point of comparison, there are cities where Bruce sales are relatively weak, whereas in NJ/NY he could likely sell out indefinite numbers of shows. But Prince could probably sell out indefinite numbers of shows just about anywhere, not just MN.

ha i knew i'd told this on ilm before:

This is a second hand story, but amusing nonetheless. I was wokring a temp job in college, and my supervisor was an pretty attractive woman a few years out of college at the time....Anyway, this was when Glam Slam was still in operation in Minneapolis and Prince still owned it etc...
She and her friends went out to dance at Glam Slam, and she was wearing a catsuit apparently. A security guard said that Prince wanted to meet her and so she agreed to go to Prince's private lair in the club cuz she was a fan.....In any case, Prince was reclined, surrounded by his "people" so the security dude took her over to Prince. Apparently, Prince just kinda looked her up and down without saying anything for an uncomfortably long period of time. Then he finally asked the question: "Is that a MYSTERY suit?"....

She was baffled, and finally just said, "Um....yeah...I guess." Then more uncomfortable silence, and when it became apparent that she wasn't going to instantly start stripping and having sex with him, the security dude said she should probably go back to her friends.

Prince needs to work on his game.

http://storiesaboutprince.blogspot.com/

I skimmed that entry about the person "teaching retarded kids how to swim" and welp

Questlove's story about Prince's roller skating party was all-time: http://www.hypnagogics.com/questo/#!/eddie-murphy

that made my entire month

up there with charlie murphy's extended prince fantasia on the chappelle show

Damn that ? post was AMAZING

Kevin Smith's Prince story from 'An Evening With Kevin Smith' is pretty amazing too.

Okay, West Coast tour dates:

http://www.factmag.com/2013/03/21/prince-announces-slate-of-tour-dates/

Relatively small venues! Have to look into those Anaheim shows.

And the new album announcement:

http://www.okayplayer.com/news/prince-announces-new-album-plectrum-electrum-and-tour-dates.html

that is a tough title there

worst discarded RHCP title ever

what are those weird things on his ears, is he wearing expensive backwards sunglasses or something

that is a tough title there

Well, it is better than Prostate Apostate.

perineum millennium

Taint Saint

Rejected Pavement b side song titles

haven't seen this posted on ilm yet:

http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/72887/prince-covers-prince-with-unexpected-new-version-of-lets-go-crazy

referencing artists "covering" themselves always drives me insane. it's his song, it's not a cover!

but yeah that was posted

whoops search-fu let me down

Prince fans might enjoy this:

Maya Vik was recently featured in the Playboy 2013 Music Guide, and she's doing some shows in NYC right now. Linn drums galore. Also, she plays the bass.

also, some good recordings out there from his shows at the Dakota earlier this year

most recent setlist looks awesome:

was talking to a friend who was there and said "lets go crazy" was done in the stoner style as in the recent vimeo

I can only imagine how awesome he'd be in a room that small. Like the Dakota shows.

thoughts arrive like butterflies, yeah

lol whut

wow Prince. Just...wow.

can I hire Prince and 3rdEyeGirl to be my karaoke backup band?

probably?

sweet, brb

They played a new song called Fixurlifeup, featuring his horrific new band, one of the worst songs I've heard in ages

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZyii-zfaic&feature=youtube_gdata_player

he should have hooked up with Savages

(I think "Fixurlifeup" is boring rather than terrible)

yeah really just totally middle of the road nothingness

that evenflow is pretty funky

The 'Ads by Google' that popped up for me during that video was 'Comedy Week Is Happening'.

yeah really just totally middle of the road nothingness

This is the thing, I'd almost prefer it if Prince was making offensively bad shlock, but he's just treading on nothing now - I can't believe actual thought processes go into making tunes like this. It's like a demo song on Garageband.

brb, blasting I Feel For You at maximum volume

I'd rather see The Revolution reunite than The Smiths. I saw Prince with these 3 chicks a few weeks ago and while the guitar player was decent the drummer was awful. Basically sounded like a bar band playing very boring rock music for 60% of the show and a bad rock band covering Prince classics the other 40%.

h8 this band but i can't blame them, it seems like exactly what prince wants atm.
