thanks! trevor nelson is a big fan - he broadcast a cool 'mash up' on prince birthday..

Happy listening.

ITS TODAY....Cant wait 2pm Radio 2

Must not forget...must not forget....

3 Hours of Prince bring it on

How have they decided the placings? So far 30. I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man, 29. The Arms Of Orion...

'The Arms Of Orion' playing just now sounds like a really badly-distorted third-generation 96kb WMA file.

UK Single sales.

I wish I'd started recording this. Some of the soundbites are really interesting.

Strange to hear Donny Osmond giving props and using the word "funky"!

I was just wondering how radio station's supply decent consistent mastering for tracks from the 80s. Could Never Take The Plce of Your Man was much better than the tinny SOTT 2CD set for one.

They could have used the 1998 Ozone Special from BBC2 also for a Prince interview.

Loved Kylie Minogue's quote about meeting him. It was something along the lines of: "Yes, he was strange. I would have been disappointed if he wasn't strange".

Eye Wish U Heaven.

I thought it'd be higher.

Quite interesting so far. I hope people are recording this.

Fact machine Gambaccini wrongly calls Prince's "best ever gig" at London Lyceum part of The Controversy Tour.

I'm going down to alphabet street, love this song. I liked Grace Jones comments, she's a lady, she does'nt get up for any man.

Betcha by golly wow is on full blast

I like her voice too, I watching alot of her videos on youtube, I especially like la vien rose.

Harsh words there about his film work!!

Agreed. The golden raspberries should have been kept for Graffiti Bridge alone IMO. UTCM was fun.

Did Trev just diss Thieves In The Temple? Missed the context of "Not one of my favourites".

Not sure what he said about T.I.T.T. as I was on the phone. Ooh - only just realised that the acronym is titt.

Incidentally, they didn't back-mask the word "titties" when they played Peach earlier.

#15 My Name is Prince

Kristin Scott-Thomas is sooooo posh.
