What's with the name Mia?? Wasn't that the name Mayte used when she checked into the hospital?

Used to like that name, until recently.....

Smooches;)

My thoughts exactly!..... I want an "ASS-KICKIN-GUITAR DRIVEN-ROCKED OUT- FUNKED UP- COMA INDUCING" guitar record. A touch of Endorphinemachine, Peach, Let's Go Crazy, and other's that slip my mind at the moment. The recent George Harrison tribute and with the recent download.... I am ready for Prince to reclaim his throne as a guitar GAWD!

I'm with ya, I'm not too excited about this either, since we already have The Hits/The B-Sides, and the greatest hits album that was released by Warner Brothers.

Prince, release some of the stuff from the vault! That's what a lot of your fams want to hear.

I'll be treating this as a rumor till I have a copy in my grubby little hands. How many "coming soon" comments has Prince made that haven't panned out?

I want to meet that kitty, I just love cats! I have three of my own here at home.

At one time, wasn't there a cat named Paisley that lived at PP? Wonder whatever happened to her?

onenitealone said:

no, i'm not. that album and 1999 BOTH should've gotten 5 stars instead of a piddly 4.

I want an album of new material, not just new versions of old hits. Not even interested in this one.

In a previous interview this year, Prince mentioned that his "next instrumental album" I.E. like news, "might be released on blue note records later this year" now given the fact that the acoustic set on this current tour has become so popular, maybe prince changed his mind? dont't know. All I can say is that Prince should do a accoustic or "unplugged" ablum of his hits instead of the "instrumental", while unique, it is sometimes boring. again this is only my opinion.

It looks like I'm the only one who is excited by the prospect of an accoustic album by P of his hits.

You people are weird.

bkw said:

oh, i'll do a happy dance till the cows come home if he does this, but i won't believe it till it actually materializes. this just reeks of one of those "whatever happened to...?" projects.

Anxiety said:

I understand that sentiment.

I got very excited seeing the accoustic segment on Art of Musicology and it really made me desire a fully accoustic album from him. Especially if it were live.

I would like an acoustic version of some of Prince's hits. He did "Someting in the Water..." acoustically here in Dallas and I felt like I was the only person who knew the song. I know I wasn't. But I want be to sad if it doesn't happen

Good God All Mighty!



rick and brit huh? well that would b one ugly horny ass baby then.

Bon Jovi released the exact same thing this year and it wasn't very good.

SassyBritches said:

Me, neither.

If it's the collection Anji went on about last autumn - "live in the studio with Eric Leeds and Sheila E" - then the original studio versions would definitely be preferable.

lovemachine said:

Of course not. It was Bon friggin Jovi!

That's what I love about prince. He seems to be the only one who can truly communicate sexuality as spiritual. I've heard that purple is the color for converting negative energy to positive energy. Another reason I am so fascinated by his TALENT.

I have dreamt of this being done for years, that and a full MTV unplugged show. rather than another "musicology" very average indeed.

COMON said:

Maaaaan, why do I have to try to be nice NOW?!! I guess I won't say anything, I'll just let the words speak for themselves.

scififilmnerd said:

Welllll, see now you got me all excited...ain't nuthin' wrong with a whole lotta Eric Leeds. For some reason, I have a feeling they (Prince and Eric) are on the outs right now, so it would surprise me quite a bit...pleasantly.

Speaking of acoustic Prince - you guys may want to check out my long-ass acoustic P medley on my Soundclick page. Just follow the link and it'll take you there...

WOULD be AWESOME... STILL digging the last like 4 efforts.

Now LoveSexy IS overated.....

Now that almost this whole article has been posted...I don't need to buy the mag.


That being said...


I'm unemployed due to a disability. I only get so much SSDI($) a month...so I'm poor basically. Being poor makes it hard 2 b a or a Prince fan. Last month, for the last 3 days b4 I got my check, I was eating Peanut butter and jelly tortillas and water...cuz that's all I had. I wanted sooooo bad 2 go out and get the Rolling Stone...but I just didn't have the money. When I finally did get the money...the mag was no longer on the shelves and I couldn't find it anywhere. NOBODY(that I can find) posted this article...only a chunk of it that was on RS's websight. ALL I want to do is read that whole article. I don't want a copy of it sent to me. I just wanna read it. Does ANYONE know where the whole thing is posted? Org. note me....please

prezizely!

Bon Jovi

bkw said:

i'd love such an album.

Also in the same mag P comes in at No. 49 above Xtina, Timbaland, Missy, Springsteen, M Manson and loads more in its '100 Most Powerful People In Music' poll which is quite suprising me thinks, and would have been a miracle just a few months ago.

I doubt if its the collection Anji posted about because
ANJI IS A LIAR & NOTHING THAT HE WRITES HAS A GRAIN OF TRUTH!!!"

WOW! A 'featured' topic - I feel honoured!

(It doesn't take much to please me!)

aaraonap - thanks, buddy.

dansa - aww, bless ya. I know how essential they are to you, hun.

daddypop - I was thinking the same, as well. I've heard the rumours re: Blue Note - I assumed it would be 'Xpectation' that would be released but, perhaps, Prince is considering this instead.

Personally, I'd LOVE to hear an acoustic album. How many times previously has Prince said MTV chased him for an 'Unplugged' set? I'm not 'into' Dylan or Nirvana particularly but look how everyone raved about their 'Unplugged' albums at the time. And we know Prince has got the chops to pull this off.

I've yet to see the latest concerts but - based on 'The Art Of Musicology' show and the acoustic sets I saw in Paisley '02 (which, literally, brought tears to my eyes - it was the most spine-tingling, beautiful performance) and London '02 - I know this could be a very special album, with the right approach. Yeah, I'd love a new album of original material but I'd also love to hear these beautiful songs intimately, with a new twist. Example? 'I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man' on The Art Of Musicolgy - not exactly one of my all-time favourite tracks - but watching that performance has given me a new-found love for that song. Wonderful. So - if this album ever appears, I'll quite happily buy it.
