Remember vinyl? The 80s? Those 12" disco singles of longer and different remixes of artist's songs for play in dance clubs?
Well the latest in several anthology/best of CDs by Prince has finally included some of these remix gems (if you like Prince), and I quickly bought my favorites off of iTunes and burned a disc for the car. So that's what I've been listening to this week: Pop Life, She's Always In My Hair, Let's Work, Kiss, Thieves In The Temple -- all extended, and usually better than the original, mixes. So sue me, I like the little Prince guy.
Also, with excellent co-writing help from my co-workers, studio assist from The Works' Steve Patrick (track creator extraordinaire) and Jason Tedford (engineer and mixdown champ), Barbara Raney's inspired background vocals, my own lead vocals, and a great video slideshow put together by Chip Bayer (co-worker) in one afternoon, we have assaulted the YouTube galaxy with that Sanjaya/Kaw-Liga thang I was coughing about last week. Go to this link for a listen/view. Share with your friends.

I've decided to try to access my old vinyl again. Just bought a Dual turntable off eBay, which will arrive next week. I always liked my old Dual better than any other turntable I owned.
It'll be interesting to see if the old albums sound as good as the vinyl romanticists say they do.
