Dig if you will the picture of two white nerds in their 30s trying to get to grips with the world power that was Prince in 1984 as the TMI boys cover 'Purple Rain' — in both mediums! Week 1 starts off with the album, as Prince's famously stringent rehearsals and recording practices are detailed. Go crazy with details about the protracted genesis of the titular song, from a demo for Stevie Nicks to the version we know and love featuring a teenaged Wendy Melvoin's iconic intro! Know what it feels like when doves cry as TMI details not only the landmark hit single, but the music video for which Prince made his band learn ballet ... and which may have inadvertently gotten several actual doves killed. Weep at the anguish of the Revolution hearing "Hit me 25 times" from Prince during a live show! Listen to "Darling Nikki" with new ears now knowing it contains actual backmasking, the scourge of uptight Eighties parents! 'Purple Rain' continues next week with the boys hitting the cinematic side of Prince's genius. Too Much Information: They only want to see you laughing in ... well, you get it.
