Disk 2 of Emancipation has an arc about the growing of the love between Prince and Mayte. Today we check out the - sometimes confessional - first half of the disk. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
It’s been a LONG time since we did a one-second challenge - it was time to bring it BACK! Thanks to all the listeners/friends who sent in song selections because this is a fun favorite. Play along with Josh - can you guess the Prince songs from a single second of audio? Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Emancipation coverage continues with the back end of the first disk. From dreams of houses, dates who are on time, and (bad) apologies there is plenty to chat about AND we have our selections for the entirety of disk 1.

We begin our dive into Emancipation - Prince (as the Love Symbol) created a sprawling, three-disc set as his first project post his split with Warner Brothers and we talk about the first six songs today.

There may not have been a tour or a ton of promotion surrounding Chaos and Disorder, but there is plenty still to chat about. There were videos, alternate versions, and even a couple talk-show performances to dig into.

It may have been a “contractual obligation” but there is a lot to love about the mid-90’s compilation album, Chaos and Disorder. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Pop up shows were common in Prince’s career, but there was a special treat at First Avenue on March 8, 1982: Prince, most of what would become The Revolution, AND The Time. But don’t call it a concert - this was a dance. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
It’s time for THE Time! The eponymous album, largely written and performed by Prince with help from Morris Day and a few others, was an outlet. Little did Prince know he was creating the band that would be his greatest touring “rival”!

The Controversy Tour visited Saginaw, Michigan in February 1982 - the fab show we are talking about in this episode - but don’t expect to get to any songs from the album for a WHILE. Doesn’t matter, it’s a funky ride! Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Controversy laid the groundwork for EVEN MORE. Prince was never NOT busy and longer versions, revisiting themes, exploring new themes, and working on album promotion with videos all were a part of the flurry of activity in the early 80’s. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Contention and conversation: that was what Prince’s career created. From songs that were decadently dirty to robustly religious - or some combination of the two - Controversy is both the name of an album and a lifestyle.

This is IT! We are wrapping up our coverage of Graffiti Bridge with another set of homeless songs from the era. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Sometimes, what gets officially released lacks a… special something. The first of several episodes of Prince’s original Graffiti Bridge-Era songs that didn’t make an album or got released in a different version.

T.C. - Twin Cities. True Confessions. Time Capsule. Whatever T.C. stands for, it was the moniker for David Ellis during his brief rap career and tenure with Prince. We talk about a couple tracks from his album and what the Graffiti Bridge alum has been up to. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Before there was Pandemonium, before there was even Graffiti Bridge, there was an album that was aborted and reworked: The Time’s Corporate World. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
The singles from Ingrid Chavez’s early 90’s album were PACKED. Add in some videos and unreleased tracks, and have we got a show for you. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Raise your hand if you went to a poetry slam in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Well, imagine that with some musical backing and singing and you have Ingrid Chavez’s debut album, May 19, 1992. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Who’s ready for a treat? Perhaps a Chocolate Shake? Well, ice cream is hard to deliver everywhere so you’ll have to settle for The Time singles, Chocolate and Shake! Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
She can sure carry a tune, that Melody Cool. LEGEND Mavis Staples was admired by Prince - and many more of his followers following Graffiti Bridge. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Lay down your funky weapon, friend! We have the New Power Generation Maxi Single - really it’s an EP - with some stand out songs that only Prince would have the confidence to basically bury. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Do you ever feel like the world keeps spinning no matter what you do? Prince and Tevin Campbell felt this way, too! The Round and Round single is up. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Jerkin’ everything in sight! It’s the Jerk Out single from Pandemonium. The Mountains are worth the climb and the seas? They are salty. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
The lead single off Graffiti Bridge was the last song written and the biggest hit. We talk about the extended version, the remix, a couple of club mixes and the video this week. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Do you prefer the fire or the Skillet? The Time offers us such dichotomies on the flip side of Pandemonium. We finish our coverage of the album this week. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Another album from Graffiti Bridge? Sort of… The Time’s Pandemonium came out in the summer of 1990 and there is so much to say, we only got through the first eight songs this episode. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Suspend your disbelief because you just can’t take Graffiti Bridge too seriously. We talk about the fun and confounding bits of Prince’s final feature film. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Tick… Tick… BANG! The last nine songs of the Graffiti Bridge album are exploding with samples, other artists, and funky riffs. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
We can go Round and Round discussing the meaning of Elephants & Flowers, but thankfully there is Joy in Repetition. The first eight songs of the Graffiti Bridge album on this episode of the Mountains and the Sea.

20Ten had a few things that that might have been included on a deluxe edition that we need to talk about. Additionally, live performances of 20Ten songs was a rare thing, so we talk about a few of those, too. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
The year was… 20Ten. We don’t know why Prince named this album after the year, but we do know that there are some very enjoyable and overlooked songs in this collection. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
