All to the background of an allmost black screen. Wow! Hooray! Whohooo! That took all these weeks? You would though that by now, there would be a store with some merchandise and actual cd's and dvd's and shit, a forum (ugh), heaps of streamingmusic you could choose from as backgroundnoise, an anouncementboard, news, some pica's and video's. It's not like they didn't have enough time. You know, something that looks alive, something that has an actual appeal to fans! Not the blind followers, but the ones that actualy like to use there brain every once in a while. Let the mudthrowfestival begin. Here's my beef. Just put "coming soon" or some shit on the site. Why January? If the site or music needs time.. for god sakes let the people paying for your career a heads up. I ain't sayin give us the exact date, but don't put lies on your site. Once again, He never seems to fail at shit like this He's terribly unprofessional. Hey, it's time to jam! Nastyarse, dance, dance, dance!!! | |

>>Maybe it gets better in time
All these clouds... it's the storm before the sunshine:) You have to believe:) serpan99 said: People have been sending me orgnotes why I haven't commented on the website launch yet, okay...so here it goes...my opinion:
At first I have been trying 2 get it 2 work as I thought I was missing out on 85% of Prince's new galaxy. After a month of anticipation I was ready 4 something really cool, many suggestions had been made about what would b included 2day. So then I check the link at 8pm (5am 4 me) and this is what we r actually getting?! I know that if u haven't got anything nice 2 say u should shut up. But come on...this lotusflower is nothing but dead weed 2 me, Prince's new galaxy is nothing but a black hole...so disappointing! Maybe it gets better in time but I am not really optimistic about it right now. He should have a look at the HQ thread with all our expectation, oh wait a minute.... ps: the website looked better b4 it actually launched? | |

What a false alarm! If I could get to LA at that time, $77 expense is affordable this month, or I could be sitting in front of computer on time, such everyday people matters are nothing to regard for you? What kind of lessons do you get from your God? Too small? No, you don't think like that. So, what about an apology? When the Empire Ballroom show had to be cut without encore, 7/7/07 show had to be ended in the middle, you just promised another time. What about this time? Does your God forbid you to do that? I don't believe you would lose anything even if you did. On the contrary, you would get much more. But..., yeah, I may be saying too much... What do you think really? | |

Well, I'm afraid it looks like I'm one in a million here who disagree:
God knows if I want my new music from Prince like the rest of us, me too I've been glued to my screen [this one and LotusFlow3r's] all this time in search of news/updates/new music, etc. But I don't think that Prince [as any artist] owes us anything. He doesn't have a contract with us to produce certain things at certain times. The only deadlines he has as an artist are his own. I think it's up to us to be mature enough not to take everything we see online/in the media/entertainment business too literally and too seriously - just like life:) Take your time, Prince, there's nothing worse than a creative/artistic job rushed. I'll wait [till the end of time:)] | |

Believe it or not I actualy don't want a fix. I want him to live up to his "promise" and I want him to be more fanfriendly. A little more consideration, that's all. But even that is too much to ask. I allready have all the "fixes" I need, and everything from the last 4 years are almost untouched and unheard by me, because it generaly lacks quality. If you are anouncing to open a site, using words like "a new universe" etc, it would be prudent if there is actualy some content when you do open. Or simple wait longer untill your ready.

Well... this is it. So it's almost nothing. And why do i feel a litlle dissapointed? Because there was a teaser all month and now there's another teaser. Disco Jellyfish is terrible.

It´s alright to do some serious business and get some press about this new site, but please not that way! U cannot just write January 2009 on it and then come up with crap like this.

drfunkenberry said: The plan since the beginning has been to show the work to the press today, while anticipation builds for the official opening. Following the special preview, guests will be treated to an hour-long concert in the funkiest house in the Hills.
The plan since the beginning has been to show the work to the press today how nice to let us know, after we've been hyping ourselves into a frenzy for a month. and why? because there was no official information. it would've been easy enough to state this from the beginning would it not? i'm so glad i didn't wait around last night to see what was going to happen. to add insult to injury funkenberry tells you guys that prince will be having the press and assorted shallow socialites over at his house for an hour long concert and an exclusive stroll through of his new website and music. putting up yet another track [disco jellyfish] is damage control imo because finally someone in prince's camp might have thought about the shitload of us waiting for the site to open up in january, because, you know, that's what a person might presume reading "a new galaxy january 2009", lol. it's npgmc all over again. release something at the last minute, or even some minutes after the deadline. like an after thought, not like an exclusive but more as a means of saying "here, now shut the fuck up". none of this would matter one iota if there would be a simple press release, or even a few lines on his site to clearly state what the plan was. it's not rocket science for crying out loud. it's webdesign and releasedates. "disco jellyfish" is nice. it's probably the same idea as the npg maxi single where "the lubricated lady" segues out of "get off", like an external portion stretching the song. more recent example would be "stt" / "brand new orleans" but now we've heard crimson and clover 4ever colonized mind wall of berlin another like me chocolate box disco jellyfish here i come all this love another boy i think the longer we have to wait and the more snippets we hear the less exciting any release is going to be. if this shit drags on for another 2 months we'll have heard 20 songs. out of a possible 30-36. lotusflower or mplsound might be incredible albums and all but if you already know 50% of it that kind of takes away from the experience of listening to it for the first time. i guess the only people being genuinely surprised by his new music and his new webdesign are the press and boozy celebrities that he invites over to his house. they're just showing up, caring or not caring, for the ride and whatever comes their way is new to them and thrill of the moment. fans however get to die of thirst by a dripping faucet drip....drip .....drip..... and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Disco Jellyfish is really terrible. I'm responding to that and the update. Istill think thta is a letdown. Who are U to judge me and say i'm not gonna like the new music anywy. I'm sorry but U know nothing about me! Art [Edited 2/1/09 1:29am] "See what monday brings us." Another loser! You whine, bitch, and complain, yet you want to see what Monday brings us. Why? It's obvious you aren't going to like Prince's music anyway -- no matter what he creates or releases. Why not spend your time/discover some other "artist's" site, and masturbate to the music over there? Seriously, how many negative, unappreciative, negative fucks are there on Prince.org? Why do these fuckers even waste their energy trying to be fan, or post on this site? Get a fuckin life, losers!!!!!
