There’s nothing 4 the record, And nothing 2 condemn; It’s in between this waking life And REM. But U walked into the party, 2 tell me 2 live up 2 our dreams. We ‘bout 2 get it started; Turn my guitar up, so I can make this woman scream!

2021 Prince Project #44 - Prince - HITnRUN Phase One (Album) (2015) (8/30/21) After some back to basic funk releases, he released a more dance friendly album. The more produced sound is current but not as engrossing. I'm not sure it does much for me to return to. Start with "Fallinlove2nite", "Hardrocklover" and "This Could B Us". https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOMCGJssybgLtk-K0zEQlOOP9tIC6cdyYfXPo0/?utm_medium=tumblr

While Prince’s Guitar Gently Weeps.

This coming week is 4 years since Prince died.  I don’t know about you, but every time we get to this time of year, I always think about it and listen to a lot of his music.  It’s weird, before his passing I never really associated a lot of his music with a season (which is very weird for me…what I listen to is usually very dependent on the season). Now, I always associate end of spring with the start of a heavy period of listening to Prince.  Although, he is always in my rotation, as he should be.  It just gets ramped up significantly this time of year.  

One of the things I also try to do this time of year (along with early June, for his birthday) is to make a themed playlist.  I don’t believe I made one last year due to some family things I had going on, but I typically make a themed playlist on both the anniversary of Prince’s passing as well as his birth.  Even though this is also a difficult time, I didn’t want to go two years without making one. So what did I do?  I technically made you TWO playlists!  I think this year’s theme is going to be a real treat for you.

This week we are going to explore the wide and mind-blowing world of Prince’s unbelievable ownership of the guitar.  Prepare to melt your face when you listen to this.  As Eric Clapton famously responded when he was asked how it felt to be the greatest living guitarist….”I don’t know.  Ask Prince”.

I decided to up the intensity this week and give you not one, but two, playlists.  There are so many great Prince guitar songs that it was impossible to narrow it down to just 20 songs.  So here’s what I did.  The first playlist starts with some of his more well known songs and some of his shorter songs.  And then we end with the entire first side of PLECTRUMELECTRUM, Prince’s 2014 album with 3rdeyegirl.  After that you can either jump right into the second playlist or take a little break, digest the ridiculousness you’ve just heard, and get ready to hear even more ridiculousness.  The second playlist starts with the second side of PLECTRUMELECTRUM (did you know Lizzo has an appearance on “Boytrouble”?!?!), and then we get into some really amazing and long songs.  I’m assuming you know the last song, but it was appropriate to bring everything home with it at the end.  

I’m also assuming you know the second to last song.  But do you know this specific version?!?  If not, you need to.  In fact, here’s a link to the video of the famous performance of the famous “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y.  Do yourself a favor and watch this immediately. Even if you’ve already seen it. How cool is that all of the musicians – including legends like Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne – are basically trying to pick their jaw up from off of the floor.  And notice how at the end, Prince throws his guitar up….and it never hits the ground.  The best.  Simply the best.

Hope all of you are staying safe and healthy out there.  I think I’m on a pretty good roll with these themed playlists and I have a bunch of ideas for future ones.  What’s that you say?  I only put together themed playlists by a single artist?  Welp…next week’s playlist is already done….and you are in for a surprise!

2015 - Release of Prince's 38th album Hitnrun Phase One on Tidal.

It was two years ago today that Prince released his album ‘HITNRUN Phase One’ exclusively on Tidal, shortly after announcing a deal with the JAY-Z-owned streaming service.

‘HITNRUN Phase One’ was recorded by Prince and producer Joshua Welton, and included the previously released singles “HARDROCKLOVER” and “THIS COULD B US” (a song inspired by a meme of Prince and his Purple Rain co-star Apollonia), in addition to new songs like “1000 X’S & O’S” and “AIN'T ABOUT 2 STOP,” which features Rita Ora.

Speaking to the BBC about ‘HITNRUN Phase One’ ahead of its release, Joshua said that the album showcases many different sides of Prince’s personality. “You'll get the groovy Prince, you'll get the fun Prince, you'll get the hilarious Prince, you'll get the serious Prince, and you'll get the going-out-on-a-date-with-my-lady Prince,” he said.

Following the album’s release on Tidal, ‘HITNRUN Phase One’ was released on CD on September 15, 2015, via Prince’s own NPG Records.

Check out more background on the album through this BBC interview with Joshua: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-34126942

I was tagged by the lovely @nikisaur to list 10 songs I've been listening to lately and since I'm pretty much constantly listening to music this might be hard to narrow down but I'll give it a go! 1) I'm just going to put the entirety of Florence + the Machine's album: How Big How Blue How Beautiful because it is all amazing but if I had to pick one song I'd probably go with Various Storms and Saints 2) Life Itself by Glass Animals (but just like F+tM pretty much everything Glass Animals does is gold) 3) Song of the Sea by Nolwenn Leroy 4) Little White Doves by Dirty Vegas, which is an old song but I could easily see it playing on the radio now. 5) Somebody to Love by Queen because it's always in the rotation. 6) Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) by Shakira and kind of wanting to watch the World Cup again every time. 7) HARDROCKLOVER by Prince (also Seven... I did not plan to put this in the 7 spot) 8) I'm Still Standing by Elton John. I don't care what anyone says about this music video it's delightful. 9) Lay Me Down by Sam Smith. For OC reasons. This song makes me wish I lived in a place where I could just sing my heart out without disturbing the neighbors. 10) Landslide by Fleetwood Mac which I've been mostly singing to myself at work. That's not including the multiple Disney (and Dreamworks now that I think about it) songs that I've had on repeat lately (the entirety of A Goofy Movie soundtrack has been a go to recently for some reason?) or the instrumental music that I have playing most of the time just as pleasant background sounds.
