Prince — "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker"

Love the part where he goes, "'My favorite song,' she said, and it was Joni singin 'Help me, I think I'm falling'" — and he breaks into the melody, just like Joni does with the Frankie Valli song on the radio in "This Flight Tonight"

Under the Cherry Moon by Prince

A gem. I would even go as far to say this is better than Purple Rain. If you want to see Prince in a backless suit, you’re welcome.

the best two blues songs that no one knows about

1. Hearing Moanin & Screamin for the first time on the radio late one night otw to a sneaky link was just one of those moments…. One of those real mind blowing moments. This song was a vibe that I had been looking for for a long time. Linked in post (I promise one day I’ll be better at link management I’m still figuring it out 2. And This one, Look Way Back, also by diamond joe, may even be better: https://open.spotify.com/track/7gJgQqhLCrO6eElRtWcRqE?si=w82k2P2WTDiVebPDt0PRrQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3hJQgem7RrfPgSlxFQx7Pv Not much is known about Joe Maryland (diamond joe). Like this is literally the only picture I have even been able to find of him. I couldn’t even find when he was born or died. New Orleans guy, just like me! he has Less than 1,500 monthly listeners on Spotify. It’s just incredible when talents like this, real real talents, people truly connected with their soul and able to express it honestly, go mostly without recognition. But A tale as old as time I guess RIP him ❤️

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

Unwound

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
