If you want rock versions of Prince songs

some groovy prince covers

I wrote this song while looking in the mirror.

Wow--happened upon this great video of Prince playing a medley of songs on acoustic guitar. It's great. This is what's supposed to happen you go on MTV "Unplugged" (unlike half the performances, which don't sound any different than any other live performance.)

K'naan and Bob

I follow Kanye on Twitter because he posts a lot of links to his free music projects. Here's the newest:

The Messengers is a remix project done by DJ/Producer J.Period and T.O./Somali MC K'NAAN, and it matches K with three of music's most celebrated "Messengers": Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan.

It's 5 AM, I gotta get back to bed, so I haven't listened to much so far. But first take... issa gonna be great. Especially "Don't Think Twice," which is my fave Dylan song.

Anyway, the songs are all free if you want to try them out.

Judging by his tweets, looks like he's come to the attention of Jay Z and Timbaland (he already does stuff with Nas, and Kardinal Offishall and others.) I hope he only gets bigger. I'm not like those people who don't want to share their fave artists with the world... this guy is seriously talented. Must be shared!
