  1. Well, today's my first day of self-quarantine. Not easy, but necessary.

    A little story as to how I got to this moment, I was in Barcelona on Thursday morning for a project that was abruptly cancelled late that night.  The companies involved in this trip and the Spanish government assured us that they had taken all necessary precautions to ensure our safety, but as we all now know everything went into a frenzy. Couldn't leave until Sunday, so I stayed inside the hotel because the city was already shutting down. As a preventive measure, the company's asking all of us who traveled to self-quarantine and send in results of daily temperature checks.

    As for home, it's more or less the same situation as other countries. An island-wide lockdown for residents until March 31st and a 9 PM to 5 AM curfew. Everything canceled. We're at 5 confirmed cases but there's still a long way to go. Stay safe and clean, everyone.

    Slant Magazine includes “God Control” in its list of the “The 50 Best Songs of 2019”.

    12. Madonna, “God Control”
    Madonna has a reputation for being a trendsetter, but her true talent lies in bending those trends to her will, twisting them around until they’re barely recognizable. Madame X’s pièce de résistance, at least in that regard, is the six-minute “God Control,” which begins with the queen of pop conjuring the spirit and disaffected monotone of Kurt Cobain—“I think I understand why people get a gun/I think I understand why we all give up,” she sings through clenched teeth—before the whole thing implodes into a euphoric, densely layered samba-disco-gospel mash-up. Madonna’s vocals alternate between Auto-Tuned belting, urgent whispers, and Tom Tom Club-style rapping as she takes on the gaslight industrial complex and so-called political reformers. On paper, it might sound like the ingredients for a musical Hindenburg, but—somewhere around the midpoint, when she declares, “It’s a con, it’s a hustle, it’s a weird kind of energy!”—it all coheres into the most exhilaratingly batshit thing she’s done in years. Cinquemani

    :clap: Well deserved, it's a gem of a song.

    What a song. It throws you in so many directions (emotionally) while keeping the message in focus.

    If the Pride performance was any indication, this song is going to be a highlight on the tour.
