vocalism

Scuttlebutt has it that Dirty Computer leaked but I don't see it anywhere...

I can't believe their last album was 10 years ago. Withdrawal.

I'm getting rid of a lot, but keeping rarities and obviously my M collection.

Server space won't really matter. Things keep getting bigger and easier to store. The real issue will likely be licensing. I've been gradually shifting from CDs to streaming (I basically skipped digital - I've never purchased a damn thing from iTunes, etc.), but my one concern about getting rid of my physical music is that one day certain songs or albums will no longer be available because a record label or artist couldn't agree on the terms. Stuff comes and goes on Netflix all the time, and I've already seen music I listen to on Spotify suddenly vanish.

Dummy is everything. As is their self-titled album. I hope they put out something new soon. And I prefer Protection and Mezzanine to Blue Lines (although "Unfinished Sympathy" is divine).

This writer is clearly under 30. I don't think it's a conspiracy so much as just little monsters and Beyonce fans trying to ignore Madonna and her performance. Then again, he did post this on Twitter three years ago:

I'm so tired of the Beyonce worship, especially among gays. This list is embarrassing: https://www.pride.com/music/2018/2/04/10-super-bowl-halftime-show-performances-better-justin-timberlakes

They haven't worked together in 16 years though.

The album leaked.

You're probably expecting too much. I expect him to bring out that country guy who's name I can't be bothered to remember, maybe the NSYNC boys for like two minutes like Beyonce did with DC, and if he's smart Janet. But I don't think M makes sense, though it would be fun!

There's a reference to "Lucky Star" on the album, in the song "Higher Higher."

He should have called Madonna! But seriously, I don't think it means that. I think it means it's the best song of the three and that he should have definitely committed to the more Americana sound the album has been marketed as. It makes no sense for him to be making the same music he was making 15 years ago. Agree. But most of the album is produced by Pharrell so maybe he knew that.

Wish I knew. Or rather, I'm glad I don't? I've always hated Patti LuPone, even before her nasty, unnecessary comments about M.

What an atrocious show. Bruno Mars winning was so predictable. The fact that there were 4 black AOTY nominees (only one woman though) and then they give it to the most boring one speaks volumes. Gaga was insufferable as usual. Patti Lupone shouted the entire song with zero nuance or feeling with the exception of the second half of the bridge and the very end, but she's clearly way past her prime. The gay worship I'm seeing on social media is embarrassing. I don't get it.
