INTERNATIONAL LOVER

posted Thu, 11-18-04

Christ, I haven't listened to this one in ages, it is still fucking incredible.  Prince's "International Lover," from the 1999 album, which typically I didn't really 'get into' until 2002 or so when I listened to it nonstop for the entire summer.  Ned Milligan, I don't know if you read this or not, but way back then you heard this and said that it was one of the worst things you've ever heard, or something to that effect.  I BET YOU $100 YOU WILL THINK IT IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU HAVE EVER HEARD IF YOU LISTEN TO IT AGAIN!  I can't think of any song manages to be so seriously impressive AND totally hot AND hilariously ridiculous AND sublimely beautiful at the same time.  Like the flight attendant monologue, HOLY SHIT.  LISTEN TO IT!!  (That goes for everyone, not just Ned!)
