Blueberry Gossip

Who here digs this cut by Tamara and the Seen? I've always dug it. Like the title, i.e. Rasberry Beret, Strawberry Lover. The music is fonky and I especially dig Jesse's backwards guitar. That's the highlight for me. The rest of this albums blows. Not nearly as good as their first. But, I do like this song. Who else?

It took me a coupla years to get that cd - got it off of ebay last year. The title cut is the s**t - I can listen to JJ solo all day! The rest of the songs seem like throwaways. The first album was miles better.

why did Prince and his proteges' have a fascination with berries?

"Shortberry Strawcake" by Sheila E.
"Raspberry Beret" by Prince and the Revolution
"Strawberry Lover" by Mazarati
"Blueberry Gossip" by Tamara and The Seen



somewhere in the vaults,I bet there is another "berry" song or two...


"Blackberry Fantasy"? "Boysenberry Emotion"? "Cranberry Tears"? lol

The 12" version rocks. Love the changes and the different Drum Machine from time to time. Too cool!

i always thought jesse co-wrote Shortberry Strawcake, which could be the berry connection.

if he didn't, prince wrote it.

i have Blueberry Gossip and cassette. never heard the 12". i remember jesse won't stop shouting "good god" every 5 seconds, even more than usual smile

that's what I thought. Is he playing the guitar solo and doing the vocoder growling stuff? And is he credited at the US Copyright database?

Shorberry Strawcake rocks! underappreciated.
