People, newcomers and old-timers alike, this is for you. My man DJ Funktual has just posted an EPIC Purple Rain tribute video in celebration of the 32nd anniversary of the film. No mere review, he shows you the 45s and the picture sleeves, all of the accompanying paraphernalia, and takes you through the story of the era song by song, moment by moment, even the b-sides and 12" versions, and he even devotes a good portion of the episode to the Hallway Speech version of Computer Blue. For those of you who haven't been following this series, the format he uses is brilliant. Rather than including any of the music in the episode, and risking a copyright issue, he and his lovely wife Paula actually give you a moment to pause the video, song by song, so you can listen to each track as he goes through the album, if you choose. His enthusiasm for the material and the era is INFECTIOUS. I've seen a lot of Purple Rain tributes and reviews over the years, and my friends, this one eclipses them all. Yes, DJ Funktual is a friend of mine, but I wouldn't be here saying anything at all if he hadn't NAILED it with this one. The video is like 45 minutes long, and is worth Every Minute. Oh, and watch it with the annotations turned on - it's worth it, trust me. Mods, I dare say this DEFINITELY deserves a sticky.
