Prince & The New Power Generation - Gett Off (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Prince

Have to mark the 10th anniversary of the untimely death of his Royal Purpleness. Remember Gett Off being described as the sound of someone who remembered how to fuck again, and it was sonically remarkable. That clanking beat, and possibly the dirtiest radio edit of a song there is

Should potholing be banned?

You'll only drive it underground.

Ai remix feature in privacy settings on TikTok turned on

I am so upset right now, TikTok quietly added a feature which turns on an AI feature on all the TikTok’s you have already posted to allow Ai to remix and make content of your TikTok’s and I didn’t know, you must go to privacy settings on your TikToks to turn it off yourself, want to warn others 💔

"Having trouble keeping your chopper up Ernst?"

Prince - Batdance (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Prince

Weirdest movie tie-in? The sample-heavy Batdance can't have been what the label had in mind when signing up Prince to soundtrack the blockbuster 1989 Batman film. It might not be the coolest, but that guitar solo in the full-length version: fucking hell yes!
#PrinceForever #Prince4Ever

Yes, I remember really enjoying the 3rd Eye Girl, AOA and Hit n Run albums, should revisit them as I haven't listened in quite some time. I grew up with the 80s and 90s stuff so that's embedded in me for life!

Prince, Prince and The Revolution - Pop Life (Official Animated Video) YouTube video by princevevo

It's mad to think that in the wake of a monster hit like the Purple Rain album, Prince was able to sneak out Around The World In A Day without any fanfare. More experimental and rewarding, it's littered with sophisticated, assured tunes like Pop Life
#PrinceForever #Prince4Ever

Personally I find SOTT too cluttered, loads of great tunes but I think it's overlong and incoherent. Parade and Lovesexy are my faves, focused and with their own cohesive styles.

It YouTube video by Prince - Topic

Now a choice that's not going to do anything to dispell the (undeserved) caricature of 80s Prince as a permanently horny little man, but fucking hell It's good!

#PrinceForever #Prince4Ever

Definitely idiots if they thought that. Maybe it's a bit more party-ish than Sign O The Times, but it slapped then and still slaps now!

Anna Stesia YouTube video by Prince - Topic

I'm always amazed that some fans considered 88's Lovesexy a disappointment. Putting aside 3 top-drawer Prince singles and the monster title track, the beautiful Anna Stesia would be worth the entrance price alone

Joy in Repetition YouTube video by Prince - Topic

I'll be honest, I found most of the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack to be pretty sub-par. But (along with The Question Of U), Joy In Repetition is a standout, perfect cinematic loneliness. And that guitar just seems to flow out of him...

America (12" Version) [2025 Remaster] YouTube video by Prince - Topic

Okay, this one might seem kinda hardcore, but trust me it's amazing. Prince was obviously very fond of a jam, but I think this must have been the first time one was officially put out, under the guise of a 12" version. I give you, the 20+ minute version of America...

Annie Christian YouTube video by Prince - Topic

Ooh, this one is dark. Annie Christian was probably the first track to make 15 year old me realise how Prince could meld different styles so effortlessly, and music could be so much more than purely dance, or rock, or soul or whatever. Love it.

Prince and The Revolution - Girls & Boys (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Prince

Parade is like Prince's Revolver for me, perfectly formed, wildly experimental yet still completely accessible, and it just sounds so effortless. As a single I don't rate Kiss as highly as everyone else seems to, but Girls And Boys, I mean, come on!

If ever there was a day to bask in the glory of Prince live, surely it's today? Everything great about him, in a 12 minute nugget

If I Was Your Girlfriend YouTube video by Prince - Topic

Where to start with the stroke (ahem) of genius that is If I Was Your Girlfriend?! Sonically alone, it still sounds like it's from the future, it's just such an amazing noise. And lyrically, who else would go *there*, especially on the full length (stop it!) version?

Lauren Laverne on 6 Music just now: "this show won't be a nostalgia trip".

Prince & The New Power Generation - Cream (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Prince

Had planned to mark the Prince anniversary with maybe a top 10, but when my list was at 25 I realised that wasn't gonna happen... I'll just post gems throughout the day. I'd never seen this full version of the Cream video before, new to me! #PrinceForever #Prince4Ever

Nothing to see or everything to see

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

Think he looks more like he's been on the weed than coke, TBH

'Terrified of rent increase': How housing benefit cuts hit renters The government froze local housing allowance, which effectively meant a real-terms cut to housing benefit. This is what it means for renters

NEW: More than 160,000 private renters on low incomes face rent shortfalls worth up to hundreds or even thousands of pounds a year due to Labour’s housing benefit cuts

Greater Manchester and the West Midlands are particularly badly hit
