Thanks Wendy and Lisa!
It's nice that you appreciate having your fans!

This incredibly underwhelming and slightly pathetic thread highlights to me at least what the org has turned into....."news"?

jonylawson said:

actually it is noteworthy not sure if its news
and though i downloaded the remix i didnt care for it

I would love them to work with Radiohead...
or with Editors,
or The XX
or Gossip !

sosgemini said:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't 'The Work pt.1' uploaded to Napster for free?

Okay W&L are doing it now, that's nice of them. But Prince done it 9 years ago.

Very nice - very nice chillout kinda mix. I'm diggin' it. Thanks for the link and thanks for the track Wendy & Lisa!

I for one like hearing about Prince's former collaborators. many of them were and are very talented in their own right and to me it seems appropriate as I know I'm not the only one that follows his former bandmates.

BULLSHIT

thats why we have asscoiated forums

wendy and lisa were brilliant 20 years ago with prince

some of the most sublime music EVER made

but now?

c'mon-one top 40 hit and and a fanbase that amounts to 30 hits???

and why not post the latest tony m news

the latest st paul news?

the latest tyka nels.....oh hold on YOU ACTUALLY DID

im one of the rare few that digs princes music and come here to check his MUSIC news-not the bullshit and hate campaign thats been going on here recently

the tshirt issue???

WTF? arent most of you grown ass people why the fuck would you want a tshirt anyway

anyway rant over

lets get back to the music eh?

a new download by P-usually gets what? 20000 views?

wendy and lisa? 30

jonylawson said:

well said if tony m put out a downloadable track it wouldnt make the forum never mind the front news section as said above they were great when they were with prince...now they have to give their shit away and it coincides with the shit what prince is doing now

I love the track.

Maybe their timing isn't exactly coincidental, but Prince could use a little "poking" now and again.

jonylawson said:

do you only pop up to be redundant - jut in different threads? Is Prince getting his ass handed to himself from fiscal irresponsibility better for you? I'd prefer a thread about free music thanks.

cream72 said:

how? They had a free download of an earlier mix to. It's call promotion of an album for more than 10 days. It's something we Prince fans are not accustomed to.

jonylawson said:

It may get 20000 views but much of it is talking about how crappy it is(unless you haven't noticed). The hate campaign is more peoples reactions to how they have been treated as fans. And personally I think it's pretty legit. For me I've just been hoping for some great music from him again, but have not yet heard any of it. Conversely I have become a big W&L fan from their current output and am just as happy to get free music from them as Prince. Maybe even more so at this juncture. So when Prince drops another song, c'mon back and talk about how great it is rather than ranting about someone else thereby forming your own hate campaign.I'm starting to think Prince had some pretty brilliant music 20 years ago with W&L

As always, people ruin a perfectly good thread by licking Prince's asshole and claiming another act giving away music means no one likes their work. It's 2010, you strange disconnected freaks, giving away music for free is THE best way to promote new material and performers in all genres and levels of success are doing it.

Get off Prince's li'l rod and start paying attention.

so your realy saying that LOTUSFLOWER was crap?

THE WORD?

3121?

NO MORE CANDY

MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL

THOSE JAY LENO PERFORMANCES

21 NIGHTS THE GIGS?

PFUNK?

BEGGING WOMAN BLUES?

ALPHABET ST LIVE??

i could go on.....do i think he"LOST IT" hell no-hes aged and matured and to me hes still defying the odds

BRIA VALENTES ALBUM?? the musicianship on some of those tracks is astounding

dude the man is 51 years and hes still releasing to me at least effing amazing music

no hes no longer relevant in the top 40 but damn hes aged gracefully

now i do not want to be a wendy and lisa hater.....but c'mon afree download for the fams

i mean im the kind of dude who doesnt buy music merely because they worked with prince when i was 10

THE FAMILY last cd being a prime example

jonylawson said:

Hey, it is what it is....lol...When you have moderators making threads about Prince going broke, you already know what time it is...The Org is no longer a Prince site for folks who dig his music or that want to talk/debate/discuss and criticize his music in a non sensationalistic way....

Like I said, I'm still here because I made a few friends around here....But other than that, this place is full of shit...
[Edited 3/29/10 20:20pm]

so i tweeted about it and i mentioned their user name on twitter and altho they didn't replied...i got something better...they followed me

i was so not expecting them to follow me...

here's what i said on my twitter -

2 all my Prince ppl...have u all downloaded @wendyandlisa's new (and free) song on their website?? did i mentioned it was FREE??

sosgemini said:

The re-mix is really great...and I just listened to three of their early albums...great songs, great song makers... You keep going W & L!

Nothing hostile here.

Zannaloaf said:

yes.i really am. Maybe a couple of good tracks,and overall great playing. But that doesn't cut it for me. Live? The guy KILLS. I'll never debate that.

Wendy and Lisa have dropped several freebies - two remixes and one live track with no fee involved. As far as their playing with Prince many years ago - in case you hadn't heard they have a VERY successful career in tv and film scoring currently. They are certainly not resting on their "Prince laurels". This music has won them numerous awards, new fans, and they have broken records scoring the most broadcast shows at one time. I buy their new music because I like it - plain and simple.

Just like what I have heard from the new (Family) fDeluxe cd. I like what I hear so I will buy it (WHEN it comes out. How did you hear the whole cd?). I haven't liked what I've heard from Prince for a long time, so I don't buy it, because I don't buy someones music just because I bought it when I did like it. But I keep hoping.

As far as his financials and all the other mess - I could care less. People are angry because of the way Prince has treated them as fans. Right or wrong THAT is why it is so hostile. It doesn't help that his output has been so ...and I hate to ever use it...meh.

PS- you can talk just the music in the Prince music section! It's funny jonylawson that you would say that while trolling a completely unrelated thread about a free download!

Bingo.

TheEnglishGent said:

Streams are not officially released tracks. lotusflower is factually correct.


Thanks W & L.
[Edited 3/30/10 6:36am]

Love the new Wendy and Lisa "FREE" download. Maybe a reunion of them all would be perfect 4 U know who.

Love it. Big props to W&L.

Why do these threads always have to turn into some ridiculous comparison?

jonylawson said:

Dude.
If you want to bitch about what we feature on the front page and whether or not it belongs there, please go do that in the proper forum.


Let’s keep to the topic of the thread.
