New Prince song to debut on 89.3 The Current on 2/26 Hey Folks - My name is Michael Wells and I'm the Web Producer for 89.3 The Current (http://thecurrent.org) in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Just wanted to give you the heads up that we will be debuting a new Prince song titled "Cause and Effect" this Friday, 2/26 at 7am CT.
You can get the details on the Current Music Blog. http://bit.ly/prince_announce [EDIT: 15 seconds of the track is up on funkenberry: http://www.drfunkenberry....nd-effect/ - Mars23] =========================

 Cool!
From the article: Every week the programming team at the Current is asked for our opinion on new music by local artists. "Is this song appropriate for the station? Will we play it?" And so on. Rarely do these questions come from the one local artist who has sold more than 50 million albums in his career, but last week it did when Prince's rep called to offer The Current a new and exclusive song. Having already demonstrated his support for the station by joining us at our 5th Birthday Party last month at First Avenue, we were blown away that he wanted to give 89.3 The Current a song to World debut. And even more amazed that it mattered to him if we liked the track or not! [Edited 2/23/10 8:00am] | |

The song is called "Cause and Effect," and it's a rocker - filled with virtuosic guitar work, explosive drum breaks, a poppy chorus, trademark shrieks and whoops, some intriguing lyrics ("if I had the chance to do it all again / I wouldn't change a thing except my next of kin") and a call to mankind ("you need compassion"). Opening with Prince's classic pop smarts, the last minute of the tune swerves into a propulsive minor key guitar/strings/drum workout like we haven't heard from him in years.

There's no questioning in my heart, when it comes to our love... I wouldn't change a thing. IIII I wouldn't change IIII I wouldn't change... Something new at last. I'm gonna tell myself that it's gonna be like Purple & Gold. That way I won't be disappointed! Come on Prince, make it a good one... Erik blah blah blah |

At what time can I listen to this in Central Europe? Can somebody please do the maths for me?
I so hope this will be something like a first single to his next album (and I'm sure it will be good). I don't like those one-off songs. They feel like motherless children, somehow. |

You can say that I'm an even bigger idiot for first thinking I was an idiot for asking about the time when I thought they didn't tell a certain time yet, because now I saw they did. So, what time can I listen in Central Europe? Can I even listen to it via internet? |
