Re: free cd in newspaper new prince 20ten cd

My In-Laws had it on when we were round there last weekend. Now I know that Prince is not my area of expertise, but I found his Diamonds & Pearls stuff perfectly listenable.


I think he was right to give this new album away for free. Sounds more '80s than the stuff he was doing in the '80s. If he was charging for it, he'd have had a riot on his hands.Hmm

Apparently he thinks the internet and music downloads are just a passing fad, so he'd rather give his albums away free with the newspapers.

And he thinks digital is destroying music and our brains and everything, hence he's only releasing the music on a CD. Hmmmm...

Yeah, why can't newspapers giveaway free 12"inch vinyl. But knowing my luck it would be only The Daily Express or Mail doing it, and I'd have to sully my hands with their filth to obtain said gratis record.
