prince

re that Minneapolis Special mix (which rules rules rules)-- it turns out that I've had 'Sex Shooter' stuck in my head for 28 years without realizing it! The words had sort of changed in my mind...

Also 'Modernaire'... holy shit this song!

Can someone shoot the links from to the 'unreleased 1 & 2' as posted by Tracer ?? would be very much appreciated. rob DOT schrader AT gmail

Rob, I can transfer them right to you if you want me to ...

Modernaire is really funny. Lame that it was in the film but not the sdtk.

<3 modernaire

i picked up that wax poetics prince issue over the weekend.

also, i disputed that copyright claim on my youtube cover of prince, but:

UMPG Publishing has reviewed your dispute and reinstated its copyright claim on your video, "Purple Veins - I Wanna Be Your Lover @ High Noon Saloon". For more information, please visit your Copyright Notice page

Josh -- would be awesome, thx!

So that issue of Wax Poetics is still on the stands? Killer. I'll buy one asap.

apparently it's hard to find, but i was at this sort of specialty record store in new orleans and they had it.

Rob, messaged you on Facebook. Look for me on IM.

Change “Change of Heart” (WEA) 1984

just got through the first 'perfect unreleased' batch, this is a treasure. favorites:

wonderful ass
extra-loveable (nice to have this on something other than youtube)
lisa
chocolate
i wonder (this could have been something close to a hit!)
train (that crazy industrial snare sound really makes it, and the super high gospel ad-libs)

AHHHHHHHHH WONDER IF SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I NEED HER FACE AROUND
AHHHHHHHHH WONDER
IF SHE THINK ABOUT ME
AHHHHHHHHH WONDER

i wonderful ass

lol @ "vibrator", the bonus track on that wax poetics mix

Yeah that was one...memorable way to end. Especially Prince's bitchy cameo.

'Vibrator' is also on a sprawling Prince boot thingy called 'The Work' which I managed to get a dozen or so tracks from in the days of Limewire.

"Matter of fact, my back acts up every time my boyfriend goes outta town!"

amazing arena show in melbourne last night - ridiculous opening salvo of 'controversy' > 'sexy dancer' with the backing singers doing chic 'le freak' vox > sly + family stone 'thank you (falletinme...)' > KC + sunshine band 'play that funky music' > flava flav just appears from nowhere and does '911 is a joke' with prince on bass! chuck d turned up and freestyled on 'days of wild' during final encore too.

high point probably 'cool' by the time with 'don't stop till you get enough' woven through it, just destroyed the place.

Fantastic set list! The guy's still reaching.

The story behind the unreleased 1982 Prince movie filmed by Chuck Statler (who did some of the earliest music videos including Devo's)

nice, thanks for posting. did not know about this film -- what are the odds of it ever being released? 1 in 1,00,000?

just starting reading that wax poetics prince issue, some good anecdotes so far, like jesse johnson meeting prince for the first time and calling him out after he (prince) denied listening to hendrix.

damn i need to get a copy of that.

Any chance some kind soul would be willing to send me a link to that Perfect Unreleased Prince set? Thanks in advance!

live in stockholm w the revolution, 1986, introducing a showoffy horn break 3/4 of the way through 'A Love Bizarre':

"You got roaches in your crib? Well this is sure to wipe 'em out!'

:O

disappointed he didn't break into a cover of "TV Party"

question of the week : do i break the seal on my 21 nights book at long last ?

is the cd worthy ?

He was totally not on point the first show in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, and then a total no show at the first (ticketed) after party jam. Then supposedly he was awesome the second night as well as the second after party. I saw the third after party, and it was perfunctory at best. Like Monday night, the little dude didn't even play guitar, and being within 10 feet of him cheerleading his hack pretty protege was not worth staying up until 3:30am. As someone was quoted locally, he sure is one mercurial motherfucker.

what is it with him and proteges, pretty much none of them have ever worked out

um have you ever heard of carmen electra

no

check and mate

she married dave navarro or something? unaware of any music career she actually had

and I mean I love those Apollonia and Vanity 6 singles but still

lol i was only foolin'--yeah prince should ditch the proteges! but he probably likes playing the svengali.

can we get a list?
Vanity
Apollonia
Jill Jones
Carmen Electra
Mayte

feels sort of wrong to call Sheila E. his protege (she's obviously the best of the lot) but he did produce 3 albums for her so I dunno

kim basinger

if we're counting her we gotta throw Kirstie Alley in there too

does Sheena Easton count? she was sort of already famous by the time Prince got around to her

what's the level after protege?

has-been

thx lol

tbf, tevin did pretty well for himself

Eric Leeds/The Family

Does Andre Cymone count? This cut is awesome:

This is pretty incredible, if you consider the amount of hands-on work Prince was doing for results so frequently worthless: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/starsprinkles74/the_prince_protege_crash_course/

Dunno how they can call Mavis Staples a protege, because if she counts than so does George Clinton.
