forgive me ...it for some reason reminds me of an old version of Alice in Wonderland and there was an inch worm or something smoking a long ciggarette.....She's sorta looks snake-ish or something to me....looks like she's gonna climb the wall.....????? not very kind but very honest....her eyes look reptilian to me in the photo,.blah blah blah...lol even fang-ish in the teeth...
She takes much better photos than that...Prince let us see some of that beautiful hair she has tossed around a bit..... that would be hot!!!! IMHO too much dress!... not enough chicklet smile

From the article:
Prince's new online venture, LOtUSFLOW3R.com, will debut on March 24. The site will offer digital downloads of the three new albums previously announced with a March 29 street date, in CD format, at Target stores



Well according to the article, looks like it will be available for digitial download on the site when the albums are released.
[Edited 3/13/09 21:07pm]


i'm just hoping that whoever subscribes gets the downloads without paying extra.. i don't fancy much paying $77 & then having to fork out for the lotus download as well.
no one knows what the deal is yet & it's not clear as it could be..just seems a bit ambiguous.
also at the moment it does seem like anybody outside of the USA cannot get access to the album without dishing out the subscription first
anyway, i guess we'll find out soon enough! i'm as excited about the music as the next person razz

Maybe time will tell ....really looking at Prince to move on from the days of a closed club and spread his music out to a larger number of people but at $77 not many people / young and old will fork out that cash ....its so sad ...if the website closes more doors than it opens smile

But the doors didn't even open for US yet and here you are worrying about the rest of the world. Fuck them if they don't want to join. I'm going to be there, many of us are going to be there and that's what matters the most. If the rest of the world wants to be cheap, then thats on them not you or me. I can't speak for anyone else here but hopefully, I'm going to have a good time on the site.



What's with the consistent condescension? LOL. Is this really that serious or important for U to respond in such an impudent manner? I like Prince a lot too (for many years), but I don't feel the need to be this defensive (or even offensive) just because some may not agree with something regarding him.

So some people don't think a website is worthy enough to invest $77 (presumably annually). Why is their disinterest in paying that price bothersome enough for U to call them "cheap" or for U tell them to "F off?" The people who currently disagree with the price aren't even being so-called "negative" in their responses in this thread, but just aren't certain about paying that price. That doesn't make them any less of a "supporter" of Prince's music than those of U extremely excited about joining. Therefore, attempting to insult and isolate them is inane.

I personally don't think anyone should quickly jump to conclusions about how horrible or great the site will be before it opens. However, if some of us hardcore fans already feel uncomfortable about becoming members just by reading this news, imagine the possible discomfiture the even larger population of people who aren't more than casual fans will feel after they discover that fee of $77....

sad got the e-mail bout the upcoming LA stuff, but will be HOME in NY for at least 3 weeks starting 16th of this month! Dont live in LA, but in Vegas, (majority of time since working in Vegas, currently). Would have been a short trip, and been so bored w/ the same old crap going on here in Vegas. Figures I'll be on the other coast when all the excitement begins.

Wish Prince would come back to NY while I'm home! Happened last fall when I was home, so a girl can hold out hope- even if flimsy & foolish. But what better way to hit the press than to do the Leno thing & then head east and do a Today show thing with a club gig! Just pick the day and accomodations can be made...

Prince needs the money The economy taxes and all. So pay pay pay as much as you can.

He's from MPLS. The album says MPLSound. So it's gotta be good right.

Purple on site and all over the album cover.

That means Prince. So it's all in vein. $77 dollars.

Prince need you too pay. Cash, Check Card, Money Order. Loose change. Give what you can. To the Purple man. twocents

see Prince is a genius, not only musically but business wise. This site is such a creative step forward. Three albums for a reasonable price and a website that has so much to offer running with a membership fee that's affordable and worth it.


Well, i'm sorry... Once he was a sort of pioneer in this things and he deserves credit. But these days (the last years) he is overruled by a lot of other artists (from Bowie to U2, from Radiohead to NIN).
This site is not a creative step forward. It's Prince's version of something that is already there (and in my opinion it's ugly, man, he has such bad taste in designing, but that aside he has wonderful taste for music!). He's still smart and copies the nowaday strategy: give away your music and try to earn the money otherwise (website/concerts).

3 videos? WOW I didn't expect that!

Love it All! Especially the Minne sound CD cover & music I've heard! I just can't wait for the Dynamite to Explode on the site & $77 sounds ok-as I think Prince will remain Generous as he usually does-but then I'm bleesed with an economy proof job (Nurse)-so I can't speak for all! I Live for the Aftershows! Prince-show Detroit some Love this Summer or Fall! That's about all I can wait! LOL!


Peace!

i don't believe he is that smart business wise.. I think he has good ideas, and creative at that. but i certainly don't think the business part of it is executed right. I've seen other artists create a smother business path for themselves.


but hey, whatever floats the boat

Agree.
77/54 is a cheap considering how much NPG was in the earlier days. having a fee price will have more real fans there and keep out all the bitching. personally i think he should of charged more, im not rich but i want a more exclusive club and im willing to pay for it. i would just rather save the money for front row tickets and music than spending it on the pointless expensive latte's, cafes, restaurants and all the other crap!
