The Mountains and the Sea Reviews Prince

The Mountains and the Sea Reviews Prince

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.

Not for Funds - Non-album AOA and PE Era Tracks

July 20, 2025 • 74 mins
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.

Plectrum Electrons - Best of 3rdEyeTV Part 1

April 12, 2025 • 53 mins
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.

Astral Traveling - Arsenio March 2014

March 31, 2025 • 65 mins
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!
