Last year, at this time our excitement was at a fever pitch as we waited with bated breath for Madonna’s performance at the Super Bowl Half Time show. This year, we eagerly anticipate Beyonce‘s performance at tomorrow’s Super Bowl, I think she’s gonna do a tremendous job.
While we wait to see what she’s got up her sleeve, it’s time for us to take a look back at some of the best performances at the Super Bowl Halftime show over the years…..
Australian producer Late Nite Tuff Guy has inspired a revisit of the classic Prince album Controversy, with his outstanding rework of the title track. It takes a real talent to handle a classic with such finesse and bring something fresh to an already flawless track. Continue reading
Prince resurfaces with a re-recorded version of funky track Extraloveable, which originally appeared on The Bootleg Collection Vol.1. You can hear a direct influence in Prince’s music style through many new artist we share with you on this site. It’s classic Prince on this one, although we could have done with a rap-less version!
Listen to the original version below, which do you like best?
The Ghosts of Venice remix of Head by Prince is one of the tracks included the Justin Faust Brisket Biscuit Mixtape that we posted last week, and it’s so good we had to give it a separate post.
It takes a really brave remixer to take on such a classic, but Lee’s proved himself worthy of such a task with this excellent mix! The original is taken from Prince‘s phenomenal Dirty Mind album which I’ve been revisiting all this weekend.
p.s head over to our Facebook to see an alternative album cover!

Well I’m just about doing cartwheels around my room tonight! Today at a press conference at the Apollo Theatre Prince has announced a series of concerts starting in December! The events entitled Welcome to America will showcase some of his favorite artists including Maceo Parker, Janelle Monae (!), Mint Condition, Esperanza Spalding, Cassandra Wilson, Lalah Hathaway and Sheila E. I’m dying over the inclusion of Janelle who he says is one of his favorite new artists!
I had the pleasure of seeing Prince live in London back in 2007 (before the birth of Hard Candy) and it was so good I ended up seeing the show three times! there is nothing like the experience of seeing Prince rock out on the guitar from just a few rows away. I’ve seen some damn good shows and Prince puts on one of the very best.
Enjoy Bambi one of my favorite Prince tracks taken from Prince (1979)
