UPDATE: New Prince Music Debuts on Indie 103.1
Was able to catch only one of the new Prince songs, "Wall of Berlin," and it sounds like an answer to the question "what would Jimi Hendrix sound like if he were still alive?" The drumming, especially the cymbal work, echoed the jazzy tendencies found on "Electric Ladyland"; the layering of bass, guitar, drums and other sounds was thoroughly late period Hendrixian; the point in the song at which the guitar solo takes off owes to you-know-who; and the lyrics of "Wall" were oozing sexual innuendo.
The other songs played were "Crimson and Clover," "Colonized Mind" and "4Ever."
Whether intended or not we'll never know, but Steve Jones closed Jonesy's Jukebox playing Love's "Alone Again Or" with Elijah Blue. I'd like "Multi-Racial Rock Bands led by Black Guitarists" for $800, please Alex.
