Prince has stamped his purple heels firmly on the ground and ordered his army of online fans to take down any photos of the artist formerly known as 'the artist formerly known as Prince' that they may have on their websites (album covers and lyrics are also included in his demands).
It's not, apparently, an attack on his fans. Rather it's all to do with the use of images out there on the world wide web.
So if you're one of the people who photoshopped yourself into his entourage you've only yourself to blame.

I'll add the few gigs listed above onto the marvellous mechanical SoMC Events Calendar (that is I will if I'm not watching my Bagpuss DVD). The Events Calendar is made from butterbeans and breadcrumbs, and will be left in Emily's window for passers-by to peruse the mighty gigliness it contains should they so wish. Here's a taster of its delights...

Legendary indie club Chaos welcomes Gonzo main man Zane Lowe back to the South Parade Pier this Saturday, 10th November, for an evening of alternative musical delights. If something harder is more your bag of chips then fellow antipodeans Pendulum will be in the second room. Tickets are £14, available in advance from The Wedgewood Rooms.
Tonight's Waster features live music from local dub/ska outfit Wiservice and Dan Le Sac v's Scroobius Pip, with a DJ set from Portishead's chum Andy Smith. As usual the fun takes place at Envy in Portsmouth, from 2200 through to 0230. Entrance is a measly £1 before 2300, increasing to a still fairly ridiculous £3 afterward.
Indie-rock outfit At The Weakend and Portsmouth's Rossco are the musical guests at Roger Courtney's Open Mike Club at The Milton Arms tomorrow, Thursday 8th November. After the guest bands the stage is open to all those with the chutzpah to seize the microphone. Admission is FREE and the doors open at 1900.
Psytrance club night Deltawave celebrates 10 years this Saturday, 10th November, with a two room extravaganza at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth. Room one features resident DJs Venus, Mike and Wak&Pip plus a set from Dick Trevor, whilst room two is taken over by BubbleDubble. Tickets are £8.
Put a fork in me, I'm done. Today I have mostly been listening to mash-ups (The Clash v's Gwen Stefani, etc) and a lot of Mark Ronson, so I'm fairly down with my bad self. Sho nuff. Next week's Gigwatcher will be delayed for a few days, so meet me here on FRIDAY when I'll be intimidating a walrus.
