He can help the Arctic Monkeys load their awards into the boot of their car.

w/tamar and sheila and 2 other females and not the delicious twins. can't spoil everything.

look for a tamar gig out there as well.

I thought Paul Weller was up for the special acheivement award this year...he said he would rather eat his own shit than perform a duet with James Blunt! It doesn't mean that Prince wont be performing though I guess.....there might even be a club gig if he's over here, which would be good!

Its as true as he was tipped to play Glastonbury last year and the year before.

Yes this is The Brit Awards guys... the lifetime achievement stuff is only given to British artists, there are only a few "International Awards". Paul Weller is this years recipient.

Doesnt mean that Prince won't appear though. They're the UK record industry event of the year so there will be loads of coverage, whole show shown on national TV etc.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an appearance but dont count on it!

Still may get an award, the worlds least in demand babysitter Mr Jackson received an award called Artist of a Generation in the late 90`s so who knows

New album...? appartments in Battersea....? He's on his way....

fuck Battersea! he can kip dowm with my bird and me in Peckham, I'v cleaned the spare room of animal products and bootleg dvds so I'm sure he'll be happy. He'll love it! And we can go to Dulwich for veagan food and there are tonnes of latinas around elephant & castle - he should do an aftershow at the Coronet there! Macy gray got her kecks off in that place so its got to be clean!

Blimin flip! That's down the road from me. Can I come too ??

Ensure that you watch the Brits! Trust who do ya?

He claimed he wasn't going to perform any of the old Prince hits ever again when he changed his name to 0(+> in '93. That lasted about 6 months. But you're right, no chance of LRC.

I gotta post these, cuz they're kinda cute and it really takes me back

Ahhh...good times

he is performing. i don't know what. i'm sure there will be confirmation by monday evening as most of the dress rehearsals are sunday and monday. the media set up from monday so there's bound to be leaked stries of "1000 scented candles, purple light bulbs, etc, etc" - the usual tabloid rubbish. he is likely to do an oldie and a new one as a medley, it the usual format for the international artsit that appear. i'm going. out of the new ones i hope it's Fury or Black Sweat - that Tamar one is a turd and won't impress anyone in the Uk. that sound has a heavy US radio sound to it. it doesn't work commercially here.

Imagine if he does black sweat that will just blow the brits away.
wow 'em all

It is in the "News of the World" today that he will be performing with the NPG (the piece says he has reformed the New Power Generation for the show - immediately had me thinking "oh God, not Tony M...") and will do three songs although he hasn't decided which ones yet.

its for real!

Pepper7, the Brits thing is looking like a strong possibility now. If he does decide to check out the likes of Peckham/Elephant I'll be sure to get in touch. Bit worried I won't be able to put up his full entourage.

elephant said:

Ahh south Londoners!
He should come and check me and my band out on Tuesdays over at the Fridge in Brixton, see what REAL UK music is all about - Hope he doesn't think that the SOURBABES represent the UK!

Brixton IS South London. (Last time I looked)

We should ALL hook up and take Princey on a rip-roaring night out.

We'll show him how to party like it's 1999.

The Independent UK also discusses this:

http://enjoyment.independ...344744.ece

It is hotly rumoured that his Paisleyness, Prince, will be doing his funky thang, but this subject is off limits for my brief interview with Terry who bluntly states that "we never know until the day, frankly".

and interestingly the reporter says that the theme is Moroccan this year - surely a sign its true??

"Taking a peep at the main stage, I see the theme for this year is Moroccan".

I would say that this post on the npgmc forum is as good as a yes as you're gonna get.

So hello everyone!!! It has been a little busy so I have not been able to keep you posted on the latest, my apologies.
So we had a great time with Prince and Tamar on Saturday Night Live last weekend. NY wasn't too cold!

Today we are leaving for the UK to play the Grammy Brits! Wendy and Lisa and my girl Sheila E are going to rock it with us!
More to come when we return!!
