    New Album Discussion - IF YOU ASK FOR A LINK YOU'LL BE BANNED

    in ARCHIVE - The REBEL HEART Forum

    I listened to the MDNA and HC leaks because yeah, the artwork and title and tracklist had already been finished and I knew I'd buy them anyway but this just feels wrong and I have no desire to listen. I'm sad for her. Apparently even the demos sound amazing though. I'll probably cry when I have the album in my hands.

    I mean, I think a pre-xmas release would definitely work but we wouldn't get any of the promo or concerts or interviews or crazy pre album build up. I'm bummed.

    True Blue has the *worst* australiana connotations. Can't handle it. I just imagine singlets and utes and sheep shearing. Should have been called Live To Tell. Would have looked awesome with that iconic cover.

    Bedtime Stories is a pretty ordinary title, but can't really think of anything better.

    Would have LOVED if she had used Drowned World instead of Ray Of Light. I mean, I love ROL as a title but I just like the imagery and emotion Drowned World creates,

    MUSIC is PERFECT..

    American Life is a fucking shit album title. Could have totally handled Americana

    CONFESSIONS would have worked fine on its own.

    MDNA is an INCREDIBLE title and would have been perfect for a remix album.

    I'm drunk. Fuck you all.

    We need to talk about HARD CANDY

    I posted this in one of he old HC threads and a few people liked it:

    Separates the timbo and the pharell tracks and it works so well. The HARD side is so MOODY and the CANDY side is so FUN. She's Not Me is a smashing tune but it just doesn't fit in anywhere on the candy side and breaks the flow, but by all means, Hey You can be replaced (for the record, hey you sounds better than I remembered especially at the end of such a fun album)

    HARD

    1. Animal

    2. 4 minutes

    3. Across the Sky

    4. Dance 2night

    I'd wanna gush over her and tell her how much I love her and how much she changed and saved my life, but she doesn't wanna hear that. God, after all these years of being a fan (a one-time extremely obsessed fan), actually sitting here right now imagining being face to face with her, I honestly have no idea what I'd say or do. I'd probably cry, which would just freak her out or piss her off. :lol: So, in reality, my best bet would probably be to decline the opportunity, but I'd probably always kick myself for it. It's a no-win. :lol:

    Just give her a bit of sass and hope she giggles.

    I would decline too.

    I don't think meeting your idol is a good thing

    BUT

    If i shared an elevator with her and had 30 seconds I would say in the most deadpan way possible

    "Killer shoes"

    And she would give me a sly wink and say "thanks"

    Then the doors would open and she'd strut out like the queen she is and it would be perfect

    I have a completely off-topic question for you guys. One of my oldest friends (we've been friends for 23 years, I was one of his groomsmen at his wedding 18 years ago etc. etc.) has just started work at the same place as me (he and his family have moved back to the Gold Coast after a decade away). He told me in passing today that he had defriended me from Facebook (we've been Facebook Friends for about seven years). In his words, "I have a very strict policy that I don't have social media contact with anyone I work with - sorry!" I was a bit taken aback and said, "Oh, OK....can I still be friends with [your wife]?" He said, "Yes, that's fine, although she might decide to defriend you, too. We've had trouble with workmates in the past. I hope you understand." He did say that it was a pain in the neck sometimes, but he needed to be strict and not make exceptions for anyone.

    I have to admit that I'm miffed (in spite of my telling him it was fine). It's not as though I'm someone new he's met at work who wants to be his Facebook buddy - we've been friends for well over half our lives and I know for a fact that I was the only person at my workplace that he was friends with before he arrived, so it's not as though I'm part of a general cull. I know I'm overreacting, but it's almost as though he's establishing new boundaries for our friendship, now that we work together. Then he told me that he'd have me over for lunch with some old mutual friends at some stage soon (!). What are your thoughts?

    OK, I've got that off my chest, now! Most of you are probably wondering what the problem is, but it's amazing the impact that being defriended by one of your oldest friends can have....!

    Eh.

    My advice would be to get off Facebook altogether. It's an excellent feeling to let it go.
