Throwback Thursdays: Prince

So many hits. Such a pimp. Here's a low-quality clip from 1984's Purple Rain. These songs is still great.

 

Throwback Thursdays: Sheila E. feat. Prince

Prince has some deep cuts and besides topping the charts, has written songs for The Bangles and Sinead O'Conner. He has also reached out and blessed the careers of Apollonia and Sheila E. I have this song stuck in my head this morning for some reason. Let's dance.

Throwback Thursdays: Prince

Last weekend I slow danced with my wife to "Nothing Compares 2 U" (performed by Brandon T. Washington). We all remember that as a Sinead O'Conner song. Most of you know that it was written by Prince. Here's the purple one himself along with Mary J. Blige puttin' a hurt on you. Dig.

Real Talk Tuesdays: Computer Jay

The power is with the people. We artistic types have access to all the tools we need to acheive our visions. Some are just better than others. Dig this track and video by Computer Jay. It's equal parts Prince, Quasimoto, chiptune and good old fashioned psychodelia. You can do this if you want.

Real Talk Tuesdays: Computer Blue

Getting a new computer is always exciting...until you have to transfer all of your data. I've been wrestling with a new machine for 2 days now trying to get everything to jive. It's the worst. I'm let Prince tell it.
