What do you want from Prince?

nurseV said:

You will just have to take a listen to find out

Just a quick question listeners

Do you prefer the album reviews ?

or the news/other types of shows ?

FunkyStrange said:

LOL @ your orgasmic reviews...

If the sound is good, he would play for free otherwise it is 3 million..

nurseV said:

Since U have such an extensive wish list - I'd say "just about anything in Oz would suit U guys"

Whats cooking though - Strings, Sax or Jazz ?

Prince @ the Opera house would be amazing, Any body remember the free concert crowed house played their....Prince Come to Aussie!!!

andykeen said:

Yep. As I mention in the show, Prince loves to 'own' venues. Currently, in terms of popular music, you could say that Crowded House 'own' the Opera House. Prince needs to get down here and set things straight .

This was a great podcast. I loved the thought experiment and just imagining it was wicked.

I don't think any of you mentioned Christopher Tracey's parade but you can't think of everything.

andykeen said:

ohh yeah....i could probably handle a trip across the straight, then a bus/train road from Melb to Syd for that!!!

lust said:

its Tracy...no e


sorry, im a Tracy with no e, just like to see it spelt correctly

prb said:

Furry muff, Tracy it is

Great show, fellas. I appreciated the comparisons between Prince and Zappa's work, as I have always thought of them in a similar light.

I love the reviews.

I've not bothered with the opera house show yet as the whole idea doesn't appeal to me.

The news shows are ok but I'm normally up to date.

merci. would love to hear 'Alexa de Paris", "the question of u", "Damn U", "Still would stand all time", "the Ladder", "The Cross" , "Little Red Corvette, "1999", "Adore", "Purple Rain" et al omg

He wouldn't have to do every song with symphony. He could also do accoustic songs.

Great point there, just like he does an acoustic set nowadays, he could still do that at this gig too. Just him with an acoustic guitar or on piano..

or maybe with just a quartet for the acoustic set

Beautiful !

I'd like to hear reviews too. Perhaps not whole albums, but certain tracks from different albums or eras and then comparing or breaking them down into what different sounds etc are used.

And a little less "ooh and ahhh"orgasmic sounds. Coming from guys it's a little weird No offence intended. Just a little constructive criticism.

Note taken. I think we all got a bit carried away on this one LOL

and our next episode due in a few weeks WILL be a return to the Review

anyone know what album it will be ?

LOVE your album reviews! I don't feel you got carried away with the 'cast at all (keep dangling the carrot).

Eh... will it be Lotusflower?

FunkyStrange said:

The rainbow Children and I can't wait for it! This is one of my favourite Prince albums and can't wait to hear the track by track. I prefer the album review podcarts but just keep doing what you're doing fellas, it's great to hear people as enthusiastic about the purple one as I am.

Oh by the way think the opera house podcast rocked, if he did end up doing it you guys would get v.i.p tickets for sure, maybe not Captain for his views on the whammy bar

LotusFlow3r was done and dusted back in April:

He could use the orchestra as appropriate. Then also do accoustic and traditional stuff. Mix it up. It would be great!

He could do Three Chains O Gold. Al Greens Tunes (Love),When I Lay My Hands On You,Empty Room, Somewhere On This Earth, And God Created Woman. Those the songs
that would to me sound good on strings.
