Crystal Ball apparently the worlds first interactive lyrics site.

Prince built the studios in 1987 for his private use, he has recorded most of his albums and music videos there ever since, and now Prince has opened up the complex which features one of the largest sound stages (12,500 square feet) in the Northern USA for general bookings.

First Avenue the legendary venue where Prince recorded the Warner Bros movie Purple Rain was filmed in 1983. The venue which is on 701 First Avenue in Minneapolis continues to be a popular club for live performances even today. It has been in financial difficulties in the past, but its back now with a new website to boot. Drop in if your ever in town.
Housequake, a Prince news and message forum site clearly intended to latch on to the success of Prince.Org. Membership required, a good site for news and gossip but is less well attended than its competition.

I mean, really!
