Even at 40 we do not need seats here.


Uhhh... I am part french..?? Primarily though, I go by black or creole. Those r the portions I'd rather not deny. I'm indifferent about the French bit.

I am vaguely french from my mother's side (des Hugenots). But I do speak DUtch most of the time.

What I meant about this rehearsal track (that might not sound like the live thing of course) is that this version takes the life, the uptempo out of the original. The keyboard signature (lead line?) is gone. Even the guitar parts are not really convincing.

As the bitcoins continue to ris ein price I do not mourn about the US$ 0.88 that the WAV cost me but I'd hope for something better.

Not a huge deal in a drummers world but that double bass action is KILLIN' me
[Edited 11/1/13 16:54pm]

I noticed the drumming, too. Really good.

Is Prince playing all the guitar solos or is he sharing duties with the 3EG guitarist?

Sounds great but Prince sounds sad and angry. lol he always has meanings behind his releases. Not that we will ever know but its fun to speculate.

everything Prince releases now adays sounds so low testosterone timid and midtempo. Nothing ever stands out anymore. Like his doctor told him to stay away from interesting or spicy music and put him on a low fat bland diet to help with digestion. But at least this one doesnt feature bongos.

I don't understand. I've never had any issue with them. I suspect the email is hidden in a junk or trash folder. Whenever I have a problem receiving an email...that's what it is. Edit. Prince does have a history of shoddy business goings on post WB...so its all very likely automatic emails don't get sent automatically. The fuck ups always happen at the most fundamental levels where the smart money says it ain't happening...but it does. [Edited 11/3/13 19:01pm]

I sent an email to the support team this Monday and have not heard back - is that usual?

He's taken all the kinkiness out of it. Not good.

Secondly, the ongoing backing singer deficit has gotten worse. The backing vocals are such a huge part of his studio work yet he never really tried to get any live equivalent going. The chorus of this song really needs backing singers, freeing Prince up to do the ad-libs. You feel that absence on the chorus - big time. Well, I do anyway.

Great version. My mind started drifting away and Prince started singing the words of Careless Whisper. It works.

Not too keen on this. Love the song, of course and the arrangement is decent. The artwork is kinda cool and how it reveals itself on the youtube. Sweet deal.

For all time I am with you, you are with me.
