Happy B'day Prince

On Saturday, June 7, 2008, His Purple Majesty (born Roger Nelson) turned the BIG
5-0. Imagine that. The man still works a pair of heels better than most women, and rocks a stage like no other. So, in honor of his fabulosity, here's a set fit for a Prince.

Let’s Go Crazy

I Wanna Be Your Lover

If I Was Your Girlfriend

Sexy Mutha Fucka

Daaaaaaaaaamn. You GO - I had given up looking for the Purple Badness on YouTube cause he's seriously hard to find, the little bastard. (love him. LOVE HIM, would totally lick his ankles, but his is a proprietary little bastard, mais oui?)

Hawtness.

'kay, well, you're so kewl, cn I get you to find Housebreak, Something in the Water, and Pussy Control?

For you, Unpredicatable Badness, I searched high and low. Alas, my super sleuth skills are no match for Little Mr. Purple & Proprietary. Unbelievably covert, that one is. Would you settle for this instead?

Oh, but well done!

Pop Life is in there. Pop Life makes me groove around on my chair in a most vivid way. And Money Don't Matter 2Nite, a serious favorite. And Get Off, which, well, even here I think I better not go into what that song does to me. More appropriate for the BDSM board.

For a bunch of erotic poets, I really think there's just not nearly enough discussion of sex around here. Whaddya think?

wow, yum, woot and other sentiments.

I can't really find any Prince either, but I ended up watching someone I totally love, MeShell.

Possibly the best music video ever made

And she is just about the coolest woman on the planet.

Glad you like the playlist. I had a feeling you'd appreciate Get Off as a part of the line up. In comparison to the rest of Lit, I guess our little poetry corner isn't full of sex convo. This is where we come to be all artsy and shit. Could be, this calls for a new thread, entirely devoted to such. It could be an adjacent room to the Bistro (or what goes on in the alley behind the bistro). Ooooh.....you could call it the Bisrto After Dark or something. Whaddya think? Who better to start the thread than the Proud Facilitator of Amoral Squalor?

This is one of my favorite songs by Me'Shell, but I think I'm partial to the original by Bill Withers
(whom I adore )

I like him, too. I think that Boyfriend video is just brilliant--and she has a great voice besides being the funky bass queen. Real poetry or performance art, I guess. My favorite song of hers is Grace, but I can't find a video of it darnit.

 

[sassynyc]

The Me'Shell link in my last post was supposed to be to her Who Is He And What Is He To You cover, but I dunno know what happened with the link. I wasn't able to edit it either. Not sure if it's my computer or the site. Anyway, you can look it up by title. It's pretty easy to find. Sorry for the glitch.

(love the AV.....how artistic. the hat was hot too btw)

The Bistro is hardly a crowd of innocents. I doubt you'd have much trouble with that.

Hardly, indeed.

And thanks - I thought it was time for my face to NOT be plastered all over the internet for a while. But I was just so pleased with the new pix, and the hat.

I had to give the hat back. *sad*

Okay, what about a "Sex Survey for Poets" sort of a thread? I've found that people love to take surveys.

Not all those dumb kink surveys, though. Things like,

what musical group would you let gang bang you?
and
what already-dead person will you be seeking out first to seduce when you get to the afterlife?
and
have you ever broken a sex toy?
and
how many people have seen you naked?
and
if you had to chose between coming and making someone else come, which would it be?

you start it. I'll help. My name's around here enough already.

[Anschul]

First of all, your name is NEVER around here enough.

Second of all, one of these days I'll get around to posting a Me'Shell set. I would've done it here, but I just finished spending the best part of an hour putting together a set of one my personal favorite contemporary woman singers, Cassandra Wilson (not to change the singer or the subject), but I was rooting around YouTube looking for a cut of Cassandra singing Tupelo Honey, to put up and dedicate to Boo on the Blog thread, and discovered that there was no good cut of anyone singing it, and it's a song that makes my knees weak. Much as I absolutely love Van Morrison, and regularly genuflect before his image, Wilson actually knocks her version out of the park. Wish I could have found it. In the meantime, I did find a bunch of really good ones, jazz, blues, rock, even an amazing, amazing cover of Bob Marley (who will also get a set here soon, but since we just spent a day wanking on him, I didn't want to be accused of being exploitative). But Wilson's version will summon up Marley's Ghost (hee hee). In this one set, she covers John Lennon, Cindy Lauper, Son House, Joni Mitchell, Thelonius Monk, Neil Young, and Bob Marley.

For anyone who doesn't know Cassandra Wilson, listen closely. The voice is pure butter, churned and a little lumpy. For those who do, enjoy:

Come Together with Dianne Reeves

Time After Time

Death Letter Blues

For the Roses

Round Midnight

Harvest Moon

I am loving these questions already. Cool idea. Gotta agree with Cheffy though. Us poets never tire of seeing your mug or your Hancock 'round here.
So, I'm throwing the ball back to you. You've got a knack for these things. More times than a few, I've been thoruoughly entertained by your antics.
However, if you start it, I promise to be in line with bells on to get my clipboard and no. 2 pencil. Tell me when you're gonna start it, I'll even help with the questions. Bet?

Oh, and just so I can fake the musical relevance of this post .........

Dearest Cheffy, what can I say? Love Ms. Wilson. What a set of pipes! This set and a slice of that Brooklyn Blackout Cake.....I'd be done for. Decadence overload.

80's Flashback

Every era has its trademarks. They ain't always good. When I think of the 80's, big hair, wide belts and leg warmers immediately come to mind. Let's not forget, make up applied with a butter knife. Fashion faux pas aside, I love the gems that the 80's produced . Music is a big part of pop culture. These songs couldn't have come about in any other period in time. This barely puts a dent in the definitive 80's sound, but it's a good place to start.


Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Love Is A Battlefield
Jessie’s Girl
Beat It
What A Feeling
Caribbean Queen
Like A Virgin
Material Girl
Don’t You Want Me Baby?
Foot Loose

And as a bonus, because this is too good not to share….

Digging on the bass, damn.

--

what musical group would you let gang bang you?

*blink* Can't think of one.

what already-dead person will you be seeking out first to seduce when you get to the afterlife?

I am officially boring. Can't think of a soul. I'm enjoying my aavailable choices to much to put mental energy towards thinking of what-ifs.

have you ever broken a sex toy?

You are repeating yourself

how many people have seen you naked?

No damned clue.

if you had to chose between coming and making someone else come, which would it be?

Depends on what and how much I get to do them before the orgasm hits

you start it. I'll help. My name's around here enough already.

All right. So I need to put up a set for Monday. Here's the thing...
I'm still feeling Reggae, but BooMerengue got me into a Pink Floyd thing, and I was thinking that there's a way to connect the two.

Well of course there is. They are called The Easy All-Stars, and they produced a Reggae masterpiece the Amazing One got me a few years ago, and I found that it is virtually all represented on videos at our favorite video music place.

And also, though you might think that I'm a purist, the fact is, I'm not. I'm open to music, whatever it looks like, whatever shape it takes, and if I like it, I like it, and to hell with anyone who doesn't.

So here, forthwith, is my set of a Magnum Opus, Reggae style. And some totally weird video...

• First, some sop for Angie, a guy named Lester Young.
• Oddly, I always remember these guys as being named Fevre Tree. Somehow that, however dumb, would have been a cooler name. Nothing, though, seems to agree with me. Anyway, this is dorky psychedelic music, relying way too much on the guitar effect.
  
  I did have a bad dream about it, though. Almost wrote a bad poem about it. But, thankfully, I forgot the words.
• This could be my 45! I had this song!
  
  Yes! It sounded this tinny for me too!
  
  What?! Who is shouting?!
  
  What?!
• They are a delightful group of guys and extremely talented, are they not? And, if I am not mistaken, playing some fine vintage Vox instruments.
  
  Sucky music, though. Never liked them. This was a hit, though.
  
  Why I can't right criticize yur other gens songspielnesses, actually.
• Oh. Here the volume is too low. I like to think that Schönberg should be played like AC/DC. Crank this one up, folks. Play it loud! Play loud proud!
• What? Um, yes, as a matter of fact I did say AC/DC, didn't I?
  
  Why do you ask?

The Seeds? Really? What could possibly have led you to that? Yes that IS a Vox bass the lead singer is pretending to play, but the lead guitar player is pretending to play a Gibson ES355 (same type instrument as Lucille), and the keyboardist is pretending to play a Wurlitzer Electric piano. The drummer appears to be on another planet.

 

[Homburg]

This band is one of my all-time favourites. The only group that I've seen in concert more than this is Fishbone, and that is by one show.

If I had to pick and absolute favourite musical act of my entire life, it would be the Pogues. They were the soundtrack to my life during high school and college, and to this day are the sound sI love best. They broke up many, many years ago, and Flogging Molly has taken up something of the torch from them.

The Daily Flash, actually.

It's a long story.

You may be right about the keyboard, Chef Z, but that is not a Gibson guitar. Look at the headstock. I think it's a Vox Bobcat. The style of the guitar is based on the Gibson 335, so it resembles a Gibson.
