The 'Purple Rain' easter egg hunt is on!

Prince-purple-rain Remember that once-promised audio commentary for Purple Rain that we recorded as a Stuck in the '80s podcast back in January? It's finally edited, finished and ... HIDDEN SOMEWHERE on this blog as a special Easter Egg present to you!

Don't go looking for it on iTunes, because we won't be uploading it. Why not? Because, frankly, it's two hours of really bad jokes that sounds more and more shaky as the minutes tick by. And the last 20 minutes is basically me singing along to every song, drawing the ire of co-hosts Sean Daly, Stephanie Hayes and Vegas Girlfriend. Still, for hard-core fans of SIT80s, it's full of insider jokes, callouts to longtime fans and other mischief.

Like our Halloween audio commentary, it helps to have the Purple Rain DVD to play along while listening to the podcast. But it's not mission-critical. You can hear the movie playing in the background.

So have a nice hunt looking for it. And if you do find it, please don't spoil the surprise for everyone else. Meanwhile, stay tuned because our Hall & Oates podcast will go online early this week.

Start clicking away. You never know where it's buried. And don't be surprised if you come across a couple of fake eggs in the process. Heh-heh.
