I'd take an SS part II DVD over a reinvention DVD.
Did she ever perform DC4MA on the second leg? That would be my dream setlist.
I don't know. If I'm having people over and want to put on a concert, S&S is definitely the funnest. She should have finished leg 2 with the celebration remix though

Every time I watch Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend" video I wish it was Madonna's video for hung up. It's genius and would have been one of her very best - just free styling in disco lights and the pink leotard
-
Is there any good recordings of S&S leg 2? It looks epic. THAT HAIR.

I love this!
Yeah it flows really well. The candy half is so much FUN. The only thing is She's not Me doesn't really fit anywhere, and Hey You actually WORKS after the crazy last minute of incredible.

It shits me when artists use different producers on the one album. I made hard candy into a sweet little double album and I love it

5. Miles Away
6. Devil Wouldn't Recognise You

I don't see the secret project has "symbolic change" at all...I see it as an artistic expression, a manifesto, that is about inspiring a change in consciousness - what do you believe, why do you believe it, where does it come from, has it done anything for you or the world to move it all forward...or backward. It's about inspiring people to start with themselves first, to inspire us all to wake the fuck up, and think for ourselves. Only then can that "material change" really happen anyway.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Madonna actually does support some of those things listed above...even if she doesn't talk about the specifics....as the SP is the springboard to provide the platform to then get to those specifics (as there are many and they are varied). I think she wanted something broad enough that would reach as many people as possible. The platform is then there for us to talk about the specifics.
I agree for the most part. I like how it started, where she had this empty studio space and all her dancers and costumes and cameras and said "I'm feeling inspired, let's do SOMETHING". That would have been pretty exciting for her.

Shit. Now I am forced to actively like Russell Brand. On a scale of Awareness Ribbon to Bono, he scores pretty well in communicating to a large audience that "It's the Economy, Stupid."
Whereas most celebrity thinkers tend to just talk vaguely about "Ending the Hurt", he is at least engaged with a materialist approach and it looks like he has probably read the same volume of Keynes as me. Which is not much. But hey, look. The guy is not a "genius", he is just a well-known person of moderate comic talent and above-average intelligence who tends toward some left-centrist economic views and it is just good seeing someone famous and peppy talk about changing market economies instead of vague rainbow nonsense.
Adding to this - and I was criticised in the Secret project thread for this - I think for the last few years madonna falls into the vague rainbow category.
Once I see Madonna standing for an economic base for prosperity for the gypsies she claims to support, progressive tax systems that benefit the middle class more than the bosses from extraction industries, tractable welfare programs that aren't cycles, but genuine support, then she can do her fucking art for freedom.
I understand and appreciate the sentiment of the SP, but unless pop stars are campaigning for material, tangible change rather than "please love yourselves and stop fighting! Defend Paris for $110!" they are merely promoting symbolic change, as opposed to Russell's call for material change.
Yes I'm a fucking Marxist.

One of my favourites and not underrated - it's got a metacritic score in the 80's. I think it's he highest rated studio album on there, no?

Short answer - YES.
My mum and her friends listened to The Immaculate Collection non stop when I was little. Then there was a bit of a gap until I was 12 sitting in the dentists chair getting root canal and they premiered Frozen on the radio. There's some stuff I don't like, and some things I wish she had done instead, but no. I want a madonna tattoo once I can find the right one

Now I'm too scared to say gif aloud lest I be publicly shamed waaaahhhhhhhh

I really want make a
"STRIKE OPPOSE"
T shirt.

I want a filthy remix designed purely for gay clubs called "between the bears"

There's no tangible, material change. I think that's kind of her point. She's trying to inspire us to lead by example in our own lives. It's a very nice sentiment. I love the video and the imagery. Doesn't make me feel politically motivated in the slightest though. I guess madonna inspires me in the gym and at work, politically I'm inspired by politicians.
Can't wait to watch the full HQ video.

My boyfriend knows someone in the know and I got my grubby little hands on it tonight and watched the fucking shit out of it. Apart from a few scratchy handheld YouTube clips I haven't seen shit.
IT WAS GLORIOUS.
SHOCKED myself when I heard cyber raga. I had no idea it would be so beautiful. Possibly my favourite moment.
But the whole thing was SO GOOD.
Excep for hung up. That was shit.
And Beautiful Killer/DAD should have been performed instead of Revolver.
SO GOOD.

Tomorrow i'm waking up early tomorrow because i'm going to go to one of those reject/salvo places on the hunt for any Madonna album/singles/DVDs/other items on the off chance that I will find any. I don't know whether or not that falls into the pathetic column
That definitely belongs in the Stan secrets thread! As does this. Have been trawling second hand book shops in Sydney and ACTUALLY CAME ACROSS THE SEX BOOK.
Bought it yesterday for $90 and have been engaging in frottage with it since. Absolutely spectacular.
-
Yep send me one too. I'd love to contribute.

This thread isn't a confessional about how much you don't like some of her stuff, it's meant to be a place to show how big a stan you really are. Is your standom getting out of control?
Perhaps you have ordered a Defend Paris hoodie and it is currently being shipped to Australia for A LUDICROUS AMOUNT OF MONEY but you don't care because madonna?

There are three steps that connect my kitchen to my living room. I walk up and down them and pretend I'm opening the BAT every single time. Sometimes I'm naked.
I also got all four addicted to sweat DVDs and I love them so much I could shit. Nocole Winhoffer is a total QOL.
No. I changed my mind. I walk down the steps like the start of Fever on TGS and I throw my shirt on the floor because I am completely RECKLESS.

I always thought the line "doin E to F" meant doing ecstasy to fuck. We should all do some E to F, I think.

Aargh! Mine too!

I think it went over lots of heads.
I think the biggest disappointment of her career was pulling the uncensored AL video. Who cares if she would have been crucified by the US. It would have been punk as fuck.
