Hello U, U Purple Eaten People, U.
2night’s show is the 1st of 4 pre-records what one half of + The Woman of The House did tirelessly piece 2gether over the last few weeks in order 2 cover one half of’s fairly decent arse (given his advancing age) whilst jollying it about on the West Coast of the USof.
Therefore, 2night we present, just 4 U, Drunk Covers VIII - The Playlist Formerly Honed By Prince. A 3hr cover version special, charting pretty much all of the decent (i.e. no Batman, no Graffiti Bridge, + pretty much nothing after The Gold Experience) back catalogue of the wee purple munchkin.
The bulk of the cover versions in 2night’s show come from a brand new tribute album celebrating the little paisley monkey’s 50th birthday, entitled SHOCKADELICA - 50th Anniversary Tribute 2 The Artist Known As Prince (+ a healthy scattering of very decent covers culled from the 1000s available by various artistses & bands across the known musiverse).
This is by no means a ‘favourite’ selection - merely a broad swatch of interesting/excellent variations on the skinny mother fucker’s celebrated back catalogue.
Here be the playlist, then:

A 2hr special celebrating The Artist’s music via a diverse selection, rather than the bog standard obvious choices (although, there will be some classic Prince, just 2 get every1 in the mood).
Joining one half of 2 co-host Purple Reign - Prince and his Revolutions will be The Woman of The House AND, wait 4 it, Ms Hope Eternal. Ys. That’s right. Bloody Ms Hope Eternal. What a fun time we had.
So, U, U listening few, get upon th’ danceflo’ & shake yo’ body like a horny pony would.

YES!!! Love the drunk covers. I got turned on to The Wrong Trousers recently because of your show. They do a cool cover of Video Killed The Radio Star. You should check it out.
Luv, one of the listening few
Hello, a person, again.
Glad you’re coing back for more.
You may be seeing the podcast available at the moment - that’s because there’s been a disaster over at the ErrorFM station & their suto-play server is down
so they’re downloading the podcast & streaming that instead from a remote server. All very complicated, but you’re probably able to listen to the show before it airs. You lucky bugger.
As for The Wrong Trousers - email me a copy if you have one…
DC
