Description
Josh and Christy explore the highs and the lows - the mountains and the sea, if you will - of every Prince album. Each album will get two or more episodes, as needed. The first will focus on the album tracks with a brief discussion of each song and our selections for the mountain, the sea, and the time capsule - the song that most represents the era of recording. The second and other subsequent episodes will feature information about and commentary on ancillary materials: B sides, music videos, fashion, concert videos, proteges, interesting stories and personal anecdotes from our hosts.

Montreux Jazz Festival is always great, but even more so when Prince played. His final appearance for this event was a slate of three subsequent nights in July 2013. We talk about the first of those three shows in this episode. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
2012 was a publicly quiet time for Prince, but he was not only hard at work touring and assembling 3rdEyeGirl, but working with Andy Allo on her album, Superconductor. We chat about the back half of the album.Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Between the 20Ten album and Art Official Age was a quiet time for Prince, but that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t busy. Protege Andy Allo recorded an entire album during and following the Welcome 2 America Euro and Canada and Prince is all over it.Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Not everything from 3rdEyeGirl.com or 3rdEyeTunes made it onto an album and today we are talking about several of those tracks. Boyfriend, Ain’t Gonna Miss U When Ur Gone, That Girl Thang, Da Bourgeoisie, and Indifference all have their charms even if they weren’t deemed album-worthy.Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
The only maxi-single from Art Official Age was for Breakfast Can Wait and Prince returned to the idea of an “experience.” We chat about The Breakfast Experience and the video for Breakfast Can Wait and there are a few fun connections you won’t want to miss!Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
The back half, or the “Icial Age” of Art Official Age, is on deck and we have thoughts and connections. There’s even a little TMATS Vacation Bible School, but only so that you can find a deeper understanding of some references.

An album episode! Well, the first half of 2014’s Art Official Age. Dubbed an “R&B fantasia” this album is unusual and wide ranging, but ever so Prince-like. Off we go! Art Off, that is…Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Our deep dive into the best of 3rdEyeTV is wrapping up with this episode. Sticky Like Glue, Something in the Water, Musicology, Mama Feelgood, Next to Me and more round out this wide-ranging look at a Prince experiment.Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Our 3rdEyeTV coverage continues and it’s still an eclectic mix but far more lyrical - mostly. An instrumental version of The Max, Days of Wild, F.U.N.K., Extraloveable, U Got the Look, and a medley are on deck.

We continue our 3rdEyeTV coverage with six more songs - that are more song-like - from the “best of” collection. It’s still experimental, but not quite so… perplexing. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
3rdEyeTV was an unusual way for Prince and his band to release music. It was streamed and then largely disappeared, except when it showed up on a social sharing platform of some kind. Some kind souls documented the streamed shows and we start examining them this week.Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Prince supported Arsenio Hall as a late-night host. Prince wanted to do a “take over” of the reboot of his show and on March 4, 2014, Prince and crew were the only guests. Performances, an interview, and even fan “questions” - it was a fun watch!Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Who doesn’t love a live show? Prince didn’t need to be promoting an album to tour. The Live Out Loud Tour with 3rdEyeGirl and we talk about the early show in Denver on May 12, 2013.Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Videos! There were a bunch of videos of songs from or related to PLECTRUMELECTRUM and we talk about them along with a remix of FIXURLIFEUP.Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
We have a listen to some songs that didn’t make it on PLECTRUMELECTRUM and to the originals of some that did. It was a joy to hear a couple of powerhouse artists like Liv Warfield and Alice Smith.

The back half of PLECTRUMELECTRUM was no less varied than the first half of the 3RDEYEGIRL album. We have some applause… and some questions… for Prince. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Prince was ready to work with younger and lesser known talent by the 2010s. His answer to that was a “girl” backing band: 3RDEYEGIRL. We talk about the first six songs of PLECTRUMELECTRUM, a (sort of Christian) rock album.

We are wrapping up coverage of both Times Squared by Eric Leeds and, consequently, Diamonds and Pearls SDE. It’s been a long, fun, funky ride!Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Last time we covered the first half of the first Eric Leeds and Prince collaboration album that WASN’T Madhouse: Times Squared. The back half of this album has some surprises and we talk about them in this episode. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/Twitter… X… Twix: @TMATSPodcastEmail: TMATSPodcast@gmail.com
Eric Leeds and Prince collaborated on a bunch of projects, including Eric’s unexpected solo album, Times Squared. Vault material thought to become a third Madhouse album didn’t sound “Madhouse” enough and thus this funky jazz album featuring the saxophonist and flautist came to be.
