DMD Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I guess we all go home now... Prince: The Internet is deadThe music industry might be embracing digital and online technology, but Prince is not convinced that it’s a good thing. "The Internet's completely over,” Prince told British tabloid publication, The Mirror, in his first newspaper interview in 10 years. “I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it.” Prince is currently set to release his latest album, “20Ten,” for free through various European print media, including the Daily Mirror and its Scottish affiliate, the Daily Record. Fans can snag their copy this Saturday via the different press outlets, but you they certainly won’t find any of the new material online. Prince has banned both YouTube and iTunes from using his music, calling the web obsolete. “The Internet's like MTV,” he told the mirror. “At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you." Plans for a “20Ten” in the States haven’t been announced. What do you think, is Prince on the verge smart new alternative for releasing albums or does his approach seem misguided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicious_bass Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Prince has always said/done things his own way. That said, I think he will find swimming upstream rather tiresome and difficult in this case... ETA: Damn you, Puddy!

MikesVikes Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Prince used the symbol for his name between 1993 and 2000. This group toured with Prince and I met them when they played with our HS Jazz band. They are as talented as I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt770 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Another good example of a celebutard completely out of touch with the mainstream and the common folk. But if the internet is now irrelevant, I can think of no better place for a Prince record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Prince used the symbol for his name between 1993 and 2000. Will he be making a new symbol, this time with a series of tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince was in attendance for the Vikings 34-3 win. He said he went home night after the Cowboys game and wrote "Purple and Gold," which he says came easy and fast. Link Well maybe it came to him a little too easy or a little too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Taking odds if his music is piratable weeks or months before he releases it to the USA. With the internet being dead, guess we'll just have to get it off the alive and kicking print media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
