Prince and associated artists go toe-to-toe on the dance floor against Michael and the Jackson family during this ultimate party!

Who will win, The Purple One or The King of Pop? Who cares... this is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, get your drink on, dance your @ss off and celebrate the music of both these pop stars. Also featuring songs from The Time, The Jackson 5, Sheila E., Janet Jackson, Vanity 6 and many more related artists.

"For SIX years now, Dave Paul (proprietor of local hip-hop label Bomb Records) has hosted and DJ'ed at the brilliant "Prince vs. Michael Jackson" parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain't the place for cynics, but Darling Nikkis and Dirty Dianas are all welcome to participate." - SF WEEKLY

party number 54

Taking requests now. I think I'm gonna have to play "P Control". I don't think we played it last month. Might also have to spin a track off off the remastered 180 gram Purple Rain vinyl record that just came out.

Are you a true fan? Wear your Prince t-shirt to represent!

We'll have all kinds of special guests in the house like Tony all the way from Toronto and Mr. Marcus from the Chicago Prince Night. Remember the first 20 paid people get a special PvsM compact disc! Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday night.

I finally know what Michael Jackson has been up to. In April MJ is selling a bunch of stuff from his Neverland Ranch. More than 2000 of Jacksons personal belongings, including a Harley-Davidson Touring Motorcycle outfitted as a police bike complete with lights and a Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph Limousine. The auction will be conducted in Beverly Hills by Juliens Auctions in April, with some of the proceeds going to The MusiCares Foundation.

As far as what the other Jacksons are up to. Marlon Jackson has announced plans to develop a slave history theme park along with a Jackson 5 museum within a luxury resort in Nigeria. Jermaine is now an international reality-show star. Hes been on Australian Idol, Celebrity Big Brother UK, and CMTs Gone Country. LaToya made her own Celebrity Big Brother UK appearance in 2009, then tried to earn some extra cash by charging fans for a meet-and-greet. Tito now plays guitar in his own blues band and manages his sons group, 3T. According to his website, a new album is expected shortly. Randy supposedly fixes cars in Los Angeles. Jackie watches his son rap under the name DealZ. Rebbie is the oldest Jackson child. She had a 80s hit with Centipede and played Vegas before retiring. With no more Jacksons left to manage, father Joe Jackson announced he was opening a boot camp for up-and-coming hip-hop artists. Janet Jackson... is apparently going through a makeover.

Meanwhile Prince has two new albums coming out this year, MPLSOUND and Lotus Flower. I like that new song Discojellyfish. Prince also worked on Elixir, an album from his new protege Bria Valente. Be sure to pick up Purple Rain on 180g Vinyl LP. Remastered from the Original Analog Tapes by Kevin Grey at Acoustech and Pressed on 180g RTI vinyl. True Audiophile-Quality! You can actually hear the whole band at the end of Lets Go Crazy instead of the audio breaking up as it does on the original vinyl and cd. Oh yeah, Prince is having an Oscar after party this Sunday night. I didn't didn't get my invite this year but no matter, I will already be nursing a hangover.
