How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore? - just came up in my mix.

So many B-sides that should have been on albums instead of other content.

apologies for the bump! but I was browsing through the movies on Stan this afternoon, and stumbled across Purple Rain. As a movie, yeah, it’s less than perfect, but ■■■■ he is a talented musician. That bit of his father’s song during Computer Blue… goosebumps!

I watched it for the first time last weekend…it wasn’t the greatest movie I’ve seen, but the music more than made up for that.

(I also learned that the album came from the movie and not the other way around)

So then I played the album for the first time in ages…I’d forgotten how good it is…a superb collection of songs.

Not the greatest?
It is just a step above bloody average.

Calm down CJ…as a platform for his music, it was good…especially if, like me, you consider that his best album.

Awards for storyline, acting etc…highly unlikely…but I wasn’t expecting any masterpiece.

l well realize that the movie is little more than a platform for the music. I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece either, and that was what we got.

Hot Thing (Extended remix) from the 2020 Sign O The Times remaster is completely off the rails.

Big props to the cat that mentionted Eye Hate U

One of the most deeply sad songs ever written is There is Lonely. From the same album iirc.

Next time you feel sad and want some solidarity, go put it on.
