Prince has passed away.

Kinda a funny story from Kevin Smith about his meeting Prince

 

[Skummy]

Fucking awful.

One of my favourites. I don't have a long-winded, emotive post full of how he influenced me or connected to me in any way like I did for Bowie because, for the most part, none of that is true of Prince. He just wrote the best fucking music, and I fucking loved him for it. Over the past couple of years my music listening habits have narrowed down to, really, only a handful of artists, with Bowie and Prince chief amongst them. I'll go weeks listening to nothing but Prince. I've listened to "My Name Is Prince" more than any other song in the past couple of months. He was just amazing, almost perfect.

 

It was once said that if Prince died tomorrow, there was enough unreleased material to still bring out a new album once a year for a hundred years. Let's hope that's even a tiny way to being the truth.

From the Onion but it felt appropriate

Prince came to Perth a couple of months ago. I told everyone I wanted to go. They thought I was joking.

I did not go.

I regret this immensely.

Google Play Music's interface switched to purple today, nice.

[Skummy]

Bet he'd hate that.

Just seen that there's a Prince programme now scheduled for 2230 on BBC Four.

Why would they wait over 200 years to show a programme about Prince? Better to put it on now rather than delay, surely?
