lex gets "Deeper and Deeper"
I want "Thief of Hearts"

I'd be up for it! Even just an unofficial set of pieces on the album.
If done by song then I'd want "Waiting" or "Bad Girl" (assuming "Deeper & Deeper" is taken).

I get "Waiting" or the awesome task of defending "Why's It So Hard"

"It complements 'In This Life'."

“Secret Garden,” pls (assuming “Deeper and Deeper” etc)

Funny this thread got revived, for yesterday I started writing a Madonna '80s ranking that does not align with consensus.

I couldn't muster a full chapter but I have a soft spot for "Why's It So Hard" simply due to the reggae bounce piano house production.
― Tim F, Thursday, 31 January 2019 01:20 (five years ago) link
On second thought, I think I'd have more fun with "Fever."

According to the 33 1/3 site, they just had a round of new submissions last year, and thus will probably not be doing another one until 2020 or so (I'm guessing). If y'all are serious about making "Erotica by gaylxor" a thing, I'm down for putting something together for the next round. There is nothing on the site prohibiting submissions by multiple authors, but if this actually gets to the early planning stages, we might want inquire about this at some point.

Looks like she's doing a theatere tour, residencies in each city? She's playing something like five nights at the Chicago Theatere here this fall.

Classic: five or six of the singles between 1983 and 1986, plus Vogue.
Dud: almost everything else.

I think I feel somewhat similarly except that I hate "Vogue".

protesting an upcoming auction of the Madonna’s personal itemsThis seems unlikely
― quelle sprocket damage (sic), Thursday, 25 July 2019 00:51 (four years ago) link
According to Rolling Stone, there are 70 items going on sale; in addition to the tapes, costumes and a “handwritten apology letter” sent to Madonna a year before he was murdered are included.Also, good to hear that being murdered hasn’t stopped Mr Stone from speaking.

Courtesy of Found Footage Festival, did you ever see the Danny Aiello *reponse* video to Papa Don't Preach; 'Papa Wants the Best for You' ??
I'm not making this up..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5qp3XqFQTI
“You know, that (Papa Don't Preach video) came about in a very strange way,” Danny explains. “I had no idea who Madonna was, so I said to (daughter) Stacey in passing, ‘They want me to do this music video with this girl named Madonna.‘She said, ‘Dad, Dad, you have to.’ I went back and said I’ll do it if my daughter is permitted on the set taking pictures with Madonna. ... Madonna sort of backed up and told her representative that I don’t do that. My daughter has hated her ever since. I’m a movie actor doing this piece of crap!”

This oral history of the making of Truth or Dare/In Bed With Madonna is pretty good, and a reminder what an unstoppable and outwardly untouchable force Madonna was back then. https://t.co/X6MA9ufrs4— Justin Myers (@theguyliner) May 8, 2021

Did I miss a link to exactly which "landmark" albums are being reissued? Weird they weren't mentioned by name.
― Paul Ponzi, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 11:54 (two years ago) link
I guess that means you also missed this:
On October 8, Madonna will be releasing her highly anticipated documentary film, MADAME X, exclusively on Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, and MTV Entertainment Studios in the U.S., Latin America, Australia, the Nordics, and Canada. Fans outside of these markets can watch the documentary on MTV. Filmed in Lisbon, Portugal, the film captures the pop icon’s rare and rapturous tour performance, hailed by sold-out theatrical audiences worldwide. The unprecedented intimate streaming experience will take viewers on a journey as compelling and audacious as Madonna’s fearless persona, Madame X, a secret agent traveling around the world, changing identities, fighting for freedom, and bringing light to dark places.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 12:01 (two years ago) link
how does that answer my question?
― Paul Ponzi, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 12:42 (two years ago) link
Ha, it doesn't, just liked the ridiculousness of "The unprecedented intimate streaming experience will take viewers on a journey as compelling and audacious as Madonna’s fearless persona, Madame X, a secret agent traveling around the world, changing identities, fighting for freedom, and bringing light to dark places." But more in answer to your question, while that link above doesn't specify which albums or in what order, I think it can be presumed to be more or less the ones we expect, at least based on the era-specific headshots displayed.

I actually like Madonna but the egomaniacal obnoxiousness of the past five years have been way too grating, even by her standards.
― birdistheword, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 14:30 (two years ago) link
interesting to see whether her habit of stealing children is explained as being part of this superhero act or if it'll just be just ignored, I could see it going either way
I don't know why that isn't a bigger scandal. well I sort of do but it should be. I would have said classic at one point but she's a monster

anyone going to her upcoming tour or considering it? I’m thinking about it but pretty hesitant because it’s a hundred for nosebleeds (which is all I can afford) and I have no idea the quality of the show she’ll put on at this point
― Murgatroid, Wednesday, 18 January 2023 17:10 (one year ago) link
I'm pretty sure it will be high quality, she generally doesn't skimp on the productions and at this stage she's just another visual cog in a giant colorful wheel.
