I've always loved Prince, but my respect reached a whole new level seeing him a couple of times from a few feet away.
First was in a 200 person jazz club and he played a really funky set. His voice shook my spine on Satisfied and filled up the room in a way that I can't quite describe. The range he demonstrated was straight up ridiculous. He played keys really well too.
Second intimate show was at Paisley Park, a pajama party, and yes they served pancakes. This was with his Third Eye Girl band, a trio of chicks who can shred. He raged. Completely destroyed his guitar and put on such a great show. Where the first show was really all about funk and soul, this was was an angry rager of a rock and roll show. And the drummer, Hannah Ford, is not only smoking hot, she is a heavy hitter with great skill.

^Wow dude. That is fuckin unbelieveable that u got to see that live. Straight awesome
Did you challenge him to a game of Bball tho? -
Hahaha exactly. It was really nice. I could have seen NPG too at Paisley Park.

Ah shit. Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I nearly injure myself laughing every time I see it.

Prince and Devin on the same page. Cool to see diverse music here. I see Devin shaved.
Check out Neil Youngs Kickstarter for Pono. A new hi fi digital audio file/playback system. Almost at 3 million. Wow.

Seeing Beck is always a fun time. Especially at an intimate venue

Anyone into Swans? Really can't get enough of them recently.

Love those dark depressing fucks

That Pono player really caught my attention, great idea and I'll probably back it through Kickstarter, but I can see it being a serious drain on my disposable if it's as good as they claim (no reason not to think so at this point), and I have to re-purchase all my favourite albums at 2-3 times the original purchase price.

Trip down memory lane this morning

I've been listening to the new Kevin drew album "darlings" for most of the day. First impressions are that it's a really good album for a lazy day, and that if you are a fan of broken social scene you will immediately find yourself comfortable listening to this album. It's kind of like catching up with an old friend. Some of my favorite broken social scene recordings have been the pared down versions on radio shows and live, as they really showcase Kevin's abilities for writing catchy melodies and great hooks. I find that this often gets lost in the cacophony of sound that is your general bss recording (not that I don't love the songs this way as well). This album showcases that side of his songwriting really well, and I think it will grow on me and become on of my favorites this year for sure.
