What A Good Score! – #13: Under The Cherry Moon (aka “Parade”) by Prince

The soundtrack and score for the movie Under The Cherry Moon is actually an album called Parade by star of both the film and the soundtrack, Prince. This threw me when I was a kid. Soundtracks are title after the movie. But Prince got me thinking about how the soundtrack could really live on its […]

DJ Setlist: PRINCE – A Tribute Night, Meow, Friday, April 29, 2016

It was a tribute night to the Purple One following the news that’s still so hard to take even as it continues to sink in, and the loss seems more astounding by the day. I teared up this afternoon rewatching the clip of Prince slaying all with his solo at the end of the all-star […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1036

Andy Summers/Robert Fripp, Bewitched (1984) I hadn’t thought about his album in a long time – much less listened to it. But it all came back in those first notes this morning and the delay and effects around those first notes. And then on from there. This was the first “guitar” album that I heard […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1358

Prince, Lovesexy (1988) The two things that killed this album – I’m guessing, here – were the cover and the fact that, prepared for the CD-age, it was all one track, one single 45-minute song-medley. If you had the tape or LP that didn’t matter so much. Also of course it followed an incredible run, […]
