Song Of The Day : Prince / Cause & Effect

i am here. where are you? 
ladies and gentlemen….. 

cause and effect 
hey, hey, hey 

if had the chance to do it all again 
i wouldn’t change a thing, except my next of kin 
there’s something on the tip of my tongue 
-got a taste for sin 
if you stamp your passport full of regret 
you have nothing to remember but a lot to forget 
leave no enemies, leave no debt 

made in the image of cause and effect 
to no other man am i the subject 
i am what i am because & effect 
cause & effect 
hey, hey, hey 

If i could talk to myself back then right now 
i’d say ‘son you might wanna, stick around 
something amazing is about to go down’ 
if i could leave myself just 1 little note 
one that husbands and fathers wrote 
it say ‘you need to be a superstar or grow up, 
but not both’ 

made in the image of cause and effect 
to no other man am i the subject 
i am what i am because & effect 
cause & effect 
hey, hey, he 

cause and effect 
ladies and gentlemen 
rock/roll rock/roll 

i am here. where are you? 
ooooh oooh. haha. hey eh heh oh hoh 

don’t let them say your paper’s worth more than gold 
i see a generation lay down before they get old 
and getting endlessly sold 
you need compassion for one another 
righter than wrong 
that’s what needs to be at the heart of every past 
and future soul song 

made in the image of cause and effect 
to no other man am i the subject 
i am what i am because & effect 
cause & effect 
hey, hey, he 

look at y’all. brains splattered 
all over…moneyapolis 

ladies and gentlemen 
rock/roll rock/roll

Song Of The Day  : Madonna / Across The Sky (unreleased track from Hard Candy)

via Hard Candy

Not a very good track (like almost everything else on the album), but unreleased tracks are always interesting to listen to.

Song Of The Day : Prince / People Without

(extrait de l’indispensable Small Club)

Song Of The Day : Julian Casablancas / 30 Minutes Boyfriend

You can’t finish 2010 without listening to “Phrazes For The Young”, the solo album by The Strokes leader

Song Of The Day : Prince / Witness

Between 1982 and 1988 Prince releases 6+1 of the most amazing albums of the 80’s : 1999, Purple Rain, Around The World In A Day, Parade, Sign Of The Times and Lovesexy. The Black Album is also released and immediately cancelled. A total of 75 songs + several b.sides (remember when records had a b.side ?). Among those, almost everything is brilliant.

But that was not all. Dozens of unreleased tracks appeared over time. Tracks he recorded and didn’t release, propably considering that they didn’t worth it.

“Witness” is one of those. I bet many artists would have picked it up as a single instead.

Song Of The Day : Veronique Sanson / Bernard’s Song

L’ombre d’Isaac Hayes et du son Blaxploitation planent au dessus de ce titre de 1977. Ray Parker Jr y assure la guitare funky.

Song Of The Day : Let’s Go Crazy (ext)

Song Of The Day : Jacno / rectangle

France2 : Mort de Jacno, fondateur du groupe les Stinky Toys

Song Of The Day : Jesse Johnson / Crazay (w/ Sly Stone)

Alors que le nouvel album de Jesse Johnson sort mardi sur les plateformes de téléchargement légal, un peu de nostalgie avec ce morceau qui aurait dû devenir un classique.

Et NON, Jesse Johnson n’est pas un clone de Prince. On peut même se demander qui a le plus influencé l’autre.

Song Of The Day : Osunlade / Crazy You
