Shocker: Prince Videos Online!
by Pete
Wowee! The artist formerly known as one who embraced the internet but got all grumpy and now has no official internet presence (T.A.F.K.A…eh never mind) has a slew of videos available on MTV’s new video site, MTVMUSIC.COM.
Lordy only knows exactly how long it will be before the cease & desists hit MTV, but in the meantime, let’s embed legally while we can!
They even have the 17 + minute live video of “I Would Die 4 U” / “Baby I’m a Star” – the very same one I still have on VHS from a late 1984 Friday Night Videos. Prince in his prime. Huzzah!
No trackbacks yet.

Quick Note: I didn’t want to bombard my Top 10 with Springsteen and Prince albums, so I chose my favorites of theirs from the 00’s. Did I spend more time with M.I.A.’s Arular than with Bruce’s Magic or Prince’s Musicology? No way. Just so you know, I limited my picks to one album per artist.
And [...]
When Doves Cry / Beautifully Broken

It’s been a while since I’ve discovered a gem in my own music library – one that I don’t recall ever hearing. I’ve listened to Gov’t Mule’s 2003 live album (Deepest End: Live in Concert) before, but I don’t remember hearing what I heard tonight: a slow and bluesy “When Doves Cry” sung by Warren [...]

As a Prince-obsessed maniac since the age of Purple Rain, I’ve always been interested in following those he helped spawn back in the day. The Time were obviously the most talented of the bunch, and a sizable contributor to the feel and sound of the band – along with Prince, Morris Day, Jimmy Jam and [...]

On the sixth day of every week I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes and share my five and drop a little knowledge and insight for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, sometimes there isn’t. Sometimes we have guest, but most of the time it’s just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments.

I would love this a whole lot more if it were available outside of the U.S.

Gah ! No way! Sorry to hear Thierry…
And thanks for confirming that my commenting system isn’t broken.

Interesting. I’m pulling this out of my arse, but maybe because it’s MTV and they have exhibition rights for cable, that extends to the Internet as well? We’ll just see how Prince responds.
This, along with a Prince shuffle on today’s run got me thinking (and concerned) about the preservation of his legacy. He’s too finicky to let anyone else handle it, but appears to have no interest in collaborating with WB on remasters, for example. WB could probably do bare bones remasters if they wanted, but obviously need Prince if unreleased bonus tracks/photos, etc. are to be included. Ugh.
But what I really came here to say is thanks for the link! It’s just what I need – another distraction to kill the hours I’m supposedly “writing.”

Gonzo – the preservation of Prince’s legacy is a complete shame. Since turning Jehovah, he seems even more intent on covering up the past for some reason. Sure its copyrights and all that stuff, but its just too heavy handed. Something is up and i think we’ll know one day.
As for his unreleased tracks and other content in the “Vault”, thats also in danger I suspect. Actually preserving those tapes, as old as they are now, how is that handled? Or even handled at all? There’s a lot of actual logistic considerations about such tapes. Audio or video. Much of which is also on VHS and higher end video tapes. Who’s preserving or managing, transferring that stuff at Paisley Park?
And the religious fervor might extent to even Prince MAYBE destroying his nasty songs. Its a possibility.
