New Madonna single

i think this bit is wrong, i'm sure she says 'DJs spinnin I said 'my my'

ahem ahem "do THE punk rock"

Dance crazes that never quite made it, part 86: PUNK ROCK!

"A one, and a two,
that's how you do,
the PUNK ROCK,
don't you dare to stop!"

and yeh Russ, you had block parties in the Bronx bopping to The Clash and Kraftwerk - sounds amazing

The link above to the Madonna track doesn't work, and all the p2p sources I've tried have resulted in a loop of what seems like Madonna's voice saying "what the fuck are you trying to do?"

(It's not very good but the rap is great!)

it's kinda dire

i hate it

Not that hard to do, admittedly.

lyric of the year

half of my record collection sounds like a bonus round

rephrase:

it sounds like it was composed with My First Keyboard

okay:

it sounds like a bonus round done on a My First Keyboard except it's rub

This is like a vintage Morrissey lyric; imagine if Madonna had written "How Soon Is Now?". Juxtaposing this bleakness with the part where she talks about how she's living the American dream with her honey, then completely nods to Prince, then jumps straight into her "Fuck J-Lo" rap... absolute genius.

...can someone pretty please forcibly air-drop Monsieur Mirwais into a small rural Texas town so he can get his eyes gouged out and his hands cut off by a parade of French wine bottle-smashing hoodlums since he has almost singularly destroyed my Madonna-lurve and made the last three years excrutiatingly difficult for my worship of the former Great Goddess of popular culture? Please S'IL VOUS-PLAIT ppplease?

WHERE THE FUCK IS PATRICK LEONARD???????????????

But I like the song now (I think the extreme intake of cough syrup had something to do with my initial reaction to "Music"), so I'm hopeful that this song (which sounds FRIGHTENING) won't drive my to leap off something.

Needs more cocaine.

Hung Up is prob my favourite single of the 2000s so that’s a high bar.

This is a bit dull but it’s curious enough to pique interest about the album. I don’t mind Mirwais. “Nobody’s Perfect” remains incredible.

i said it was no "hung up"! it absolutely isn't, i haven't even decided if i like it lol

OK, kids, let's see what's got you hopped up.

I'll say her Spanish is pretty decent. That's the best thing I can say about the track.

^^^ fair reaction

Me and the newly-out lodger were just dancing round the kitchen to this, and we've decided we like it. Extra points for the Usha Uthup reference, too. https://youtu.be/k8f5Itra2Wo

time to dig out that Mirwais album then I guess.
and, to be fair while driving home, when the song came on the radio (Sara Cox R2 : EXCLUSIVE build up etc), it was rather enjoyable ..

too funny. will never intentionally listen again.

I listened to it four times in a row, hoping I could dig anything out of it. I couldn't. How many times is too many times to still give Madonna the benefit of the doubt?

Then I thought, young people don't give one fuck about Madonna. And her older fans just listen to Lady Gaga now instead. She's in an interzone desperately attempting to stay on-trend when she could probably do something else with far more success.

And her older fans just listen to Lady Gaga now instead.

i'm not sure this is accurate

Me neither; I know an “older” Madonna megafan who cares little for Gaga (despite my recent attempts to get him into Joanne).

That said, I’m not sure how much he cares about “new” Madonna, either...

I'm talking about moms and shit who probably still buy cd's, but a couple a year. Not us (although I now listen to way more Gaga than anything Madonna is making).

wtf @ "Dark Ballet"

oh i guess it makes sense she worked with Mirwais on this because this is just as bizarre as "American Life"

the album's credits have fewer collaborators since the Stuart Price days. We'll see if it works.

ILM has never been more wrong than in the first hundred or so posts to this thread.
