the beautiful ones always smash the picture




In celebration of Purple Rain's 25th birthday, Spin magazine, of all things, has put together a pretty great tribute album to one of the most well-known pop albums of all time; including covers by the Twilight Singers, Craig Wedren, Sharon Jones, the Bronx Mariachi el Bronx, Of Montreal, among others.


You can grab it here, if you're interested. Though, you have to answer a trivia question (wikipedia told me that Paul Peterson was the keyboardist for the Time...) and give them an email address in order to download it. But trust me, it's worth it!

Full tracklisting:

1. "Let's Go Crazy" RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS
2. "Take Me With U" SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS
3. "The Beautiful Ones" FOL CHEN
4. "Computer Blue" OF MONTREAL
5. "Darling Nikki" CHAIRLIFT
6. "When Doves Cry" THE TWILIGHT SINGERS
7. "I Would Die 4 U" MARIACHI EL BRONX
8. "Baby I'm a Star" CRAIG WEDREN
9. "Purple Rain" LAVENDER DIAMOND
