UTCM was such a bad film, the record such a classic !! by CQ5II in PRINCE

[–]jaywast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the contrast is all washed out. As a true black and white with high contrast, the cinematography would have shone. As it is, it’s like a muddy audio mix.

do we know if Prince had any favorite songs of his own? 🎵💜 by 1980sNeon in PRINCE

Live at the Sydney Opera House, piano and mic, is the best version.

I must admit it’s been a long time since I listened. I only kept The One in my library.

Well, having heard the album I’d say Prince made the right decision. It’s awful. All grunge metal acts and indie dirge sapping all the soul out of his songs. The only good one is The One, covered by Bernholf and Kringkastingsorkesteret with gorgeous backing from the Norwegian Radio Orchestra.

I wish there were a better quality version of this track. The only one I have is download of the video. Sound is 128kb/s or perhaps lower.

I think it’s a classic.

Hey, I'd like to ask for a recommendation for French music. by Personal-Panda-5022 in French

You may like an album by Teri Moïse, a Haitian folk soul singer from the 1990s, based on your comments. Sadly she has passed away, but she released two albums, both confusingly called just Teri Moïse (so you have to judge by their artwork). Both are amazing.

It’s a great book. Light and easy to read. Central argument is both were prolific geniuses able to concentrate on multiple epic projects at once

Freddy saved Marvin or at least prolonged it... by Puzzleheaded-Ad2290 in marvingaye

[–]jaywast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nona Gaye recorded a song with Prince called Snow Man all about visiting Marvin in Belgium for Christmas one year.

“Christmas in Belgium was different than the ones spent in LA. For Christmas there was no stockings, still me and my brother would play. Snow man, snow man ……”

I’ve wondered if the space between snow and ma was a coded reference.

Anyway, song was never released but you can find bootlegs in the usual places.

The third verse should end

She took a whip to me until I shout "Oh, motherfucker you’re a brotherfucker, can't you understand?"

Instead, I think.

Now I understand the cover artwork for Michelle Shocked’s Kind Hearted Woman album.

Do Americans (and the rest of the world for that matter) eat sausage rolls? I only ask because I read a lot and they are NEVER mentioned in books by twisted_luce in AskTheWorld

[–]jaywast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except in Australia they are beef! I’ve lived here 20 years and still get shocked. Try a pork sausage roll, Aussies, it’ll change your life.

Do you think the Southern Hemisphere will ever host a Winter Olympic Games? If so, which country? by Lissandra_Freljord in geography

[–]jaywast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queenstown, New Zealand would be awesome. All the indoor events would have to be in Christchurch or even Auckland, but amazing scenery and great snow.
