The Humans Are Dead

If you're not yet aware of New Zealand's fourth most popular folk comedy duo band, and haven't jumped into the fan conga line in watching their HBO show (conveniently titled "Flight of the Conchords", and funny as hell) here's all you need to see to reserve your bandwagon seat (and probably pea your pants laughing.)

To Do List of Prince's... Master the Guitar: Check.

There's few things that can be more creative than music, and Prince is legendary in his abilities. Even when performing someone else's music, he inserts a level of creativity that other artists lack- which is why he is judged above all the rest.

Need proof?

Witness this work from his Hall of Fame induction ceremony that left his crowd of peers speechless.



Interesting point: Prince never called himself "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince"... the media assigned him the moniker when he temporarily began performing under his famous logo in order to negotiate a loophole in his stifling contract with Warner Brothers. The catch? The highly stylistic logo is unpronounceable, and the media insisted on a name they could say!

A small social experiment performed (at his amusement) while wriggling out of oppressive contract limitations? This is why he's a certified genius.

It's also why this won't be the last you see of him here on Effect 37!
