Prince — Planet Earth

By Nicole Kai (CHARTattack) August 14, 2007 8:41 pm
Somehow I feel slightly less special holding the advance copy of Prince's new album knowing that it was given away for free with British newspapers to butter up Brits for his 21-show residency in London. But who am I to question my perks? Though the title may imply that the Purple One has turned green, the songs reveal instead that he's the same...

Prince — 3121

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) March 28, 2006 1:26 pm
In 1996, EMI flew me to Minneapolis, Minnesota to talk to Prince and attend the "party of the year" at his Paisley Park mansion and studio complex. When I arrived, I found out that I could only ask the diminutive funk-rocker one question. As for the party, the food really sucked and they weren't serving any booze. This was hardly a party...

Prince — Musicology

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) April 20, 2004 4:43 pm
Don't be mistaken — Prince is a genius. The man can put on an amazing show, his voice is one-of-a-kind, he's a master guitar player and he's still a sexy motherfucker. These are all great reasons to go see him live, but sadly, not enough to make his new album, Musicology (which is free at all Prince concerts), worth picking up on its own. While...

Christina Aguilera will never get any more bad girl than she was early Tuesday morning, when she was arrested for public intoxication and boyfriend Matthew Rutler was nabbed for driving under the influence. Aguilera apparently so drunk she "was unable to care for herself" and was taken into custody. She wasn't charged, though. —TMZ Blake Fielder-...

Prince Writes Song For Minnesota Vikings Football Team

Football's probably the most masculine sport you can think of, right? (For you Brits, we're talking about what you call "American football," as in the bastard child of rugby.) Prince is pretty effeminate, right? Well, it might be surprising to some that Prince has penned a tune called "Purple And Gold" after watching the...

Trent Reznor Disses Prince, Cuomo

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 7, 2009 4:45 pm
Remember Trent Reznor's Radiohead diss last year? Well, it turns out he's not really a fan of Weezer's Rivers Cuomo or Prince's recent output either. Reznor did an interview with the Digg website in April, but his fans were unsatisfied with it so he did a new webcam interview compiled of questions that fans left on the echoingthesound.org...

Prince's Expensive Coffee Table Book

By Craig Clark (CHARTattack) April 16, 2009 12:33 pm
Are you a serious Prince fan? Serious enough to spend $2,100 U.S. (about $2,540 Canadian) for a coffee table book about him? Just 950 copies of the 280-page Prince Opus: 21 Nights will be published and, while the price is steep, it can double as a workout tool to tone your muscles since it weighs 17 kilograms.

Yes, folks, we're truly in the dog days of summer. After the orgy of new music on July 10 with Interpol, Spoon and Smashing Pumpkins, last week was so dry that you could feel the whole music industry collapse under its own boredom. This week isn't much better, but a few notable releases have ensured that a pile of niche fans will make their way...

Superbowl Makes Safe Choice With Prince

Disgusted by the antics of sex-obsessed rockers The Rolling Stones, nipple-revealing pop star Janet Jackson and seal-clubbing-hater Paul McCartney, the NFL has gone the safe route and chosen Prince to headline the half-time show at this year's Superbowl. Wait a second... Prince!??! This is, we're assuming, the same prince whose sexually...
