Peach & Black - appreciation & thank you OK so I have been driving to and from work this last week listening to some P&B podcasts. The last one I have listened to is the Come Album. Now this album is one I brought cheap at a garage sale for $2 - (I am only new to Prince for the last 5 years or so) and this was an album I had tossed in the back of the CD drawer as "not so great - and a little bit too rude...."
But listening to that podcast made me dig it out, dust it off and give it a whirl.
Wow - I heard it all so differently after what I had learnt to look out for on the Podcast and this may now become my fav Prince album.
So thanks guys for helping me to learn more about Prince and get some better understanding and appreciation for the music.
Keep up the great work.

I have been a P fan for over 30 years and this podcast has even gotten me to hear things I had never heard. And it's just fun to go back through the catalogue with each review. Keep doing what you do. Show is hot. And at times hilarious. 1980-Present

I agree with everyone on the thread. Love the Peach & Black Podcast ! They make me feel normal cus I relate to soooo much you guys say ! The way you see Prince's music, humour, personality, etc... I totally am with you all the way!
Thank you so much
Shut up already, damn. | |

Totally agree. And to make it even better, it'd be cool if y'all could find a woman that fits in good with you guys. That's not a knock against the show. It'd just be even better to get a different perspective, not that all women think the same of course. Hmm, with 5 people, the show would be about 20% longer because I wouldn't want to short change anybody's commentary time. "Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

Now this is a great point, because I acually thought that too, as it does give another dimension to the perspective of things. I was going to mention that but forgot !! So +1 on that idea. Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜 | |

The best podcasts ever !!!
Those guys are truely the best. They say what I think, and indeed make me feel normal as a Prince fan.
So tons of love and appreciation to the guys down under ! "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts" (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972) | |

I look forward to a P&B Podcast review of past Prince albums more than the prospect of a new album these days. Of all the team, whose opinions I respect and am fascinated by all 'round...I find myself agreeing with Captain the most. His style of Prince music preference is very much in line with my own. Keep up the great work guys! | |

Great podcast. I love the theme song.
Good idea. A woman who loves Prince and appreciates his musical talent. A real lady like Sassey, who isn't crazy about Prince the man but knows Prince is one of the greatest musicians.

Hey Captain! Playa! You ever do that u kno BabyRoo is your girl!!! xxx "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Great podcast. Love it. The way you guys review the music in a fun, knowledgable and respectful way makes it a great podcast to listen to anytime. Downloaded all episodes. Still catching up on past episodes in order to graduate from a casual "fan" to a more informed "fan". Thank you! Good onya! ...every night another symphony... | |

I try not to say too much so as not to seem like a total fanboy but I absolutely love listening to these guys talk about Prince's music. Great great stuff and just adds another awesome fun element to being a crazy Prince fan! "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"

Thanks everyone
and feel free to join the smackdown in another thread.
there has to be something we do that you don't like .. Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |

Yeah, totally agree with all the above. Discovered them a couple of years ago and absolutely love the podcasts. We all get our Prince fix via the web or printed word, so to hear human voices critique and mainly praise Prince's work with as much as enthusiasm, intelligence and depth as we have is just, well, fucking excellent!! I certainly never get in conversations about Prince beyond the obvious in my circle of friends. Love the fact that the chaps are all musicians and can inform what is going on musically in the songs (as I'm learning guitar) which gives another, for me at least, very interesting dimension which I could listen to all day about.
Nice one chaps, already rueing the day when you run out of albums to review! | |

I discovered the Peach and Black guys last year just before the Melbourne show. They are by far the best and greatest Prince podcast around, they know and love the music and their reviews are great. I just can't wait for them to review more classic albums like 1999 and Dirty Mind and of course Purple Rain.
I also love the fact, they are Aussie, so understand us kiwis quite well, are musos themselves and not just blinded by Prince's star status, they keep it real and will tell us when a dog is a dog.
Captain is the funniest as his taste in Prince songs and albums is so far from the pale its hilarious and he is seriously one unique Prince fan who loves songs like We gets up and The Morning After over Adore and Do Me Baby. That takes a lot of spunk. And they were all flabbergasted when he was agreing with them over the song Lovesexy.
They say funny things too, like comparing For You to 70s porno music and getting annoyed as the sex me girl "99" on Joint to Joint. And imitating Morrisisms on the Time review, "Prince is with Morris in the studio saying come on Morris give it more - Giiirrllll!!!" "I thought you said this was a funk group, I ain't got time for this shit" "The Time's first song was what they were all about, getting laid and Captain says "Yeeh!" in a Morris Day/Quagmire way.
I hope they keep making Podcasts for years to come and when they have finished reviewing all the albums, maybe do them again, or review bootlegs, do their favourite shows, albums, songs etc. The possibilities are endless.
And of course the trade mark statement that has arisen mostly out of Captains mouth "Most skippable track on the album" Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

...uuhhmm like the subtle teases every now & then about doing a 12 inch singles show?? Yeah waiting for that one is like waiting for the Prince album remasters! "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"

Well it would be a boring show if we all liked the same songs ..
and as for the future, there really aren't that many albums left to go.. so we better start thinking about what else we can still do shows about ?!! Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |
