Un-Lucky Star: Cynthia Gibb

Oh HELL to the no she didn't!  Check out this fuckery train wreck of a cover "performed" by Fame Tv cast member and song murderer Cynthia Gibb.  My ears are still bleeding from this shit!

Written by Madonna and released in April, 1984 as the 5th. and final single off her 1983 debut Madonna, "Lucky Star" reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

This horrific cover version comes courtesy of a season of the Tv series Fame, based on the hit movie from 1980.

Madonnna: New song "Revolver"

Here is the second new track off Madonna's latest greatest hits pkg. "Celebration" released today.  The only other new track is the previously released "Celebration"  Unfortunately, this song features Lil Wayne who I personally find rather disgusting but I guess Madge is just trying to stay relevant by working with some currently popular "artists"

Music: New Release Tuesday

The following albums are released today:

Putumayo "Putumayo Presents: Espana",
Regina Spektor "Far",
Former Matchbox 20 front man Rob Thomas delivers the solo effort "Cradlesong",
Paul Oakenfold "Perfecto: Vegas",
Paloma Faith "Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful" (she sounds as if imitating Duffy, Adele & Amy Winehouse's sound...nothing original, but listenable and gets my vote for best album cover!)

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions "Through The Devil Softly" fronted by former Mazzy Star lead, psychedelic dream pop chanteuse & uber hottie Hope Sandoval.....mmmmm, dreamy!
Manu Chao "Baionarena" (his 1998 debut "Clandestino" had me grooving for years!),
Wilco "Wilco (The Album)",
Imogen Heap of Frou Frou releases her third solo disc "Ellipse",
electro golden boy and Herman Melville relative Moby releases his 9th studio album "Wait For Me",
Zero 7 "Yeah Ghost",
And of course Madonna "Celebration" 1 & 2 disc versions and "Celebration: The Video Collection" containing a career spanning 47 videos!

Below are two videos to coincide with the new releases. The first being my personal fave of the bunch, Regina Spektor "Eet" and Moby's "Pale Horses" feat. vocals by Amelia Zirin Brown. Enjoy! UPDATE: Apparently I can't trust Billboard to give me the correct release dates as I found out Regina Spektor was in fact released June 23rd. Oh well, I love her so I'm leaving it!

You heard it here first!

According to a source from The Mirror Madonna and Janet Jackson met over dinner and allegedly discussed collaborating on a tribute song for Michael Jackson.  Hmmmm, this could be very interesting!   I'll keep you posted on any developments.....stay tuned!

Showing my age or becoming more conservative?

Now, if you know me, you'll know I've been a Madge fan since the early 80's (OMG!  over 25 yrs!) and I have always applauded her creativity, media manipulation and boundary pushing, in your face sexuality at every stage of her career...she simply exudes sex from every pore.  I haven't always loved everything she's done, but you could say I've pretty much been "in her corner", defending her choices and remaining true.

Well, the time has finally come when I must disagree and strongly disapprove of something Madonna has done.  I see no plausible excuse for this decision in bad taste!  As a father of an impressionable young girl I find this highly offensive:



Up until Lourdes' cameo (all tarted up in Mama Madge's "Like a Virgin" look, Boy Toy belt included) I rather liked this second official video for her new single "Celebration"  But I must say I am both shocked and dismayed at her decision to have her 12 y/o daughter paraded around for the world to see in arguably one of her "sluttier" looks.....It pains me to say it, but SHAME ON YOU MADONNA!!  What do you think?  Would you feel differently if you had a young daughter?  Comment & let me know your thoughts!

OMG, Madge!

I was reading a review for Madonna's upcoming greatest hits package "Celebration" when I came across this little known gem:

born 2 be alive: P. Hernandez (Madonna dancer!)
Uploaded by GGG40. - Watch more comedy videos and sitcoms.

Apparently Madge was chosen to be a dancer/back up singer for this fuckery in 1979/80 who knew!? I think she's the "lead dancer" out front, but the vid is not the best quality so I can't be sure.
