RE: (313) New Prince
Oh, man, Prince live - nothing like it. Amazing everything - guitar
wizard.
Great entertainer, humorous, dancer, makes you feel like he's playing for a
small group of friends when there's a thousand people in the audience.
Hope he's doing some more shows in Mpls again and this time I'll get the
time off work to go the PP all-nighters.
Those were my first impressions of his CD - really love those tracks I
mentioned.
I just find the production far too slick on most of the other tracks. Will
keep spinning it in the player because it might be one of those growers.
Would love to hear these tracks performed live as there is always that gap
between live and CD. Live performances can bring out things that just
don't come across on CD. Especially with Prince.

RE: (313) New Prince
Yo I went to see him perform with his new artist "tamar" last Thursday
and got a sweet surprise. I was ten feet from the stage so I had a great
view of the show. Tamar was awesome. She did a ton of covers of old
classics that only real full throated SINGERS (as opposed to mere
performers) can pull off right. Some in attendance felt she was trying a
bit too hard, but then you would too if this was your proving ground and
your mentor was prince. Then she left the stage to get changed and
prince let us in on one of the classic tunes he swore last year he
wouldn't do ever again. The venue was pretty intimate compared to the
stadium's he's played, so when he asked how many of his music club
members were in attendance, I'm sure he really felt overwhelmed when
more than 3/4 of the audience raised their hands. He was visibly moved
by the display (lasted a couple minutes)and he proceeded to tell us, "I
know I said I wouldn't, but this is gonna be between me and Atlanta.
Nobody's got to know about this." Then he proceeded to kick into purple
rain. He did a bunch of his classic material and was so on form it was
frightening. He is a guitar god. I was supposed to hook up with three
other friends and the next day they both said they came in looking for
friends and before they could find us prince had them spellbound and
they forgot until after. Fxcking life changing. They rocked from midnite
till almost three am. No other performers at all. Oh yeah, he did
Michael jackson's "shake your body down to the ground". THEN he says,
"you can't do the brother without the sister and he goes into janet
jackson's "what have you done for me lately?". Dope. Overall he seemed
to be really feeling the classic funk/soul sound more than anything and
if the direction he's pushing his new artist in is any indication, he's
got it together and is just playing his cards as he always has...his
way.

Re: (313) New Prince
"Shut your festering gob, you tit!" -- Monty Python I posted that review-let to 313 because they're going to be playing in Detroit in a couple of days, and Cock Rock Disco is very compatible with the esteemed output of Detroit Underground. If all Jason did was "speed up a beatles track and put some breaks over it" no, that wouldn't be creative, but it's all about him repurposing individual gestures from other records in service of his own particular notion of fun. We're not talking Will Smith here -- Jason Forrest's stuff is banging good fun.

RE: (313) New Prince
That reminds me, anyone heard the new Prince album? Is it a return to form? Musicology was supposed to be but it wasn't THAT inspiring. I heard a wicked instrumental funk track of his on Gilles Peterson a couple of months back, so I have my fingers crossed. Oh, and shouldn't he now be called The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince? -Original Message- From: Kent Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 March 2006 16:37 To: list 313; do id Subject: (313) Aw Yeah Duran Duran Duran & Jason Forrest in Iowa the Artist Formerly Known As Donna Summer, AKA Jason Forrest, # Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
