Has the sheer volume of P music made you less enthusiastic about new P trax / albums.

Don't know 'bout you, but after 20+ years and having endless amounts of P trax[both official and non official] overload finally hit me with the 'Happy feet' track. Rather than bust my balls to get hold of it i just couldn't be bothered. 3121 has really kept me happy this year and if he doesn't do anything new for 2 years i think i'd be O.K.!.
Are you all ball busting to get new stuff or just on overload like me!.

i haven't even heard the happy feet song yet. is it being played on radio at all? is it actually doing well? i don't know.

it's not overload that makes me less enthusiastic. it's just knowing what i like and knowing that, god bless him, prince doesn't make music i particularly care for anymore. i'm always going to be interested in what he does and i'm always going to really admire him as a musician, but i haven't really felt anything from his studio efforts in several years. shrug

it was kinda like chewing a stick of fruit stripe gum. for 30 seconds it was the greatest thing ever, then all of a sudden it lost its flavor and i was chewing on a bland wad of wax. sad

Welll, I think Prince is starting another chapter in his career right now with the 3121.com site and the new club in Rio, winning the award in London, Happy feet soundtrack, Prince is hot right now for those paying attention "It ain't over'!

cool.i was the other way , hated the leaked mucky sound stream over the net in the days leading up to release, then got it and havn't stopped playing it, as for Musicology, that really was Yuck!. As for HAPPY FEET, serves it's purpose as a cute song for kids but really is not worth the wait!.

i think 3121 is a better crafted album than musicology. there is some really catchy pop music on 3121 that i think he could milk for a while if he wanted to (and apparently he does want to, ha). none of it challenges me the way his music used to, even as recently as TRC and the one nite alone tour. i think he is capable of making sophisticated, complex music, but that doesn't make him money...it just makes the diehard fans happy. and our dollars only go so far, don'tcha know. smile

I still get pretty pumped for new releases, though I'll probably just illegally download the Happy Feet song biggrin

I hate buying cds for one song
If you will, so will I

No.
I like the variety.



The thing I miss is the fact that "Back in the day" every album came with bootlegs and maxi-singles galore. And the songs werent' just remixed--they were extended full-on, hardon inducing gems. That drummed up more excitement for me than the actual albums did.

I remember when I heard "hello Extended b-side" and "La la la He he he", I just about wanted to go home and slap my mamma, I was so happy.

Seriously! I knew we were in Trouble when "Horny Pony" and already released album versions of songs started becoming b-sides. lol
