Purple prose
As mentioned earlier, Prince is performing at the Super Bowl this year, and I am SO psyched. I know it'll be great no matter what songs he decides to play, but in my wicked little heart I like to think of all the songs he's got that would make the Janet Jackson incident look like a glimpse of ankle. Here are nine naughty songs I know we won't hear this weekend...
more in the complete post, with downloads!
Erotic City His best B-side ever. I remember hearing this on the radio, actually, because some DJs insisted he was saying "funk." Heh heh... no.
Loose!
Bob George This was an unusually dark song for Prince, and may be one reason he deep-sixed The Black Album.
Housequake This James-Brown-ish song is the mildest of the bunch.
Let's Pretend We're Married
P. Control (remix) Those who think female empowerment can't be funny (or funky) will be the ones most shocked by this, I think.
Vibrator Another really funny song, this one is sung by Vanity because it was recorded for the first Vanity 6 album, but then went unreleased.
Sister
Sexy MF Another James Brown homage, with an f-bomb built right into the chorus.
The download links will be good thru Sunday. Enjoy!

It's funny, because they've been dumping themselves into my iTunes, each playing about, say, 20 seconds before the next one starts playing, so it's like... a built in collage!
Also -- one thing I've always been curious about -- do you have the sources for Ween's LMLYP? I think it's Shocadelica and Alphabet St.? (You'd probably know more than me.)
Also also -- been meaning to tell you; I picked up Love by Foetus last week -- what a fucking GREAT record that is.
Yeah, I think it is those two songs, but I haven't heard LMLYP in so long I can't promise there's nothing else in there. I need to put that one in my MP3 player.
COOL on the Foetus love! I actually haven't heard "Love" yet, though. If you decide to go for another one, I'd recommend "Nail."
"Love" is REALLY good. It's got a very orchestral feel to it, actually. I got the "(not adam)" EP a few weeks ago and completely fell in love with it (particularly the a-side), and figured that, well, "Love" was worth it, even if that was the only good song. (It wasn't.)
I'm really wanting to get "Damp", too, since the first track on that is, apparently, Big Band Foetus. Which, from the clip on the site, is pretty grand.

Interesting! You know, he wrote and arranged the "marching band" stuff on Coil's "Horse Rotorvator" album... I forget which song (or songs) specifically, but you probably know the ones I mean.
