    Well, that's all subjective. Personally I think she fucked up in choosing all her singles from 2008 onwards as I believe there were more strong, loved practically by all, songs on the albums, which never saw the light of day. I think DWRY sounding like Cry Me A River would have been 0 problem as it still sounds absolutely amazing and like a hit (at least much bigger than Give It To Me or Miles Away). Hold Tight could be badly produced (I m not specialist but I m not hearing any big problems with its production), but it still has strong melody, lyrics, hooks and it always sounded to me like a hit. I had the impression most ppl loved it too.

    Well I don’t agree. As you said it’s all subjective.

    I really hope that this time she wouldn’t fuck up her singles like she has since 2008. There was never shortage of killer songs on any of her albums, but she seems intent to not released them. Tbgo, dwery, love spent, I m addicted, beautiful killer, devil pray, hold tight should have all been singles instead of what we got. I think they need to test the whole album on a public or smth for choosing of the singles... whoever is in charge since 2008, hasn’t done a good job. If it’s Madge she needs to hear outside opinion!

    She hasn’t fucked up anything, except maybe for MDNA. She picked the right singles for Hard Candy and RH but it would have been nice had they picked a 4th single from each album (Beat Goes On and Devil Pray). 

    DWRY is a nice song but it’s also a Cry Me A River-rehash from a production point of view. Hold Tight is the worst produced track on RH and is therefore not single material.

    and why would he hide himself from the credits. It's just ridiculous. Did they put everyone on the credits on that song but him? His songs didn't make the cut.Period. It's not an opinion or speculation, he SAID that.

    and Hold Tight wasn't the only song to be compared with Baby Don't Lie, My Kind by Hillary Duff too. And that one wasn't produced by him either.

    Just stop, it’s just speculation at this point. You believe your story and others believe theirs.

    I believe it’s definitely a Tedder co-production because of its Baby Don’t Lie similarities. So what if he said his songs didn’t make the cut, he could have still helped to produce one song. Also, it’s the worst produced song in Madonna’s discography but that’s another story.

    lol at Give Me All Your Luvin‘ though. Even the name of the song looks stupid compared to her other brilliant first singles.

    WikiLeaks says CIA docs reveal US consulate in Frankfurt as hacking base

     

    The American consulate in Frankfurt functions as a covert base for CIA hacking operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the whistleblowing site WikiLeaks said, revealing the latest batch of their documents.

    According to the leaked documents, the US consulate, located on Giessener Strasse opposite the Frankfurt cemetery, is the home of the Center for Cyber Intelligence Europe, or CCIE, which carries out hacking operations across the continent as well as the Middle East and Africa.

    The documents reveal instructions for incoming hackers, containing not only mundane travel tips (“Flying Lufthansa: Booze is free so enjoy (within reason)!”) and details of local amenities (“Gas stations are not recommended for fine dining”) but also the official cover story should the agents be stopped by German customs, which is “supporting technical consultations at the Consulate.” 

    In addition to the cover story, the documents seem to show that CIA hackers work under the cover of the State Department and are issued with diplomatic “black” passports.

    On top of this, the leaked documents reveal some of the CIA’s hacking techniques, which are able to penetrate such high-security systems as police databases that are not directly connected to the Internet.

    This includes malware physically installed on computer systems by the agents using a USB. The “Fine Dining” tool provides 24 decoy programs, make it look like agent is running virus scan, watching videos, playing games and so on.

    These latest revelations stem from WikiLeaks’ largest-ever disclosure from the agency, a total of 8,761 documents released on Wednesday as part of “Year Zero,” the first part in a series of leaks on the agency that the whistleblower organization has dubbed “Vault 7.”

    The documents are said to originate from the internal network at Cyber Intelligence Center, located in CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

    This is not the first time that WikiLeaks has revealed the extent of American intelligence agencies’ activities in Germany. In 2015, it published three intercepts of conversations held by German Chancellor Angela Merkel recorded by the NSA, which had been bugging her phones for years.

    But by the end of 2016, WikiLeaks notes in its press release that the CIA’s hacking division had built up its capabilities to such an extent that it had “created, in effect, its ‘own NSA’ with even less accountability and without publicly answering the question as to whether such a massive budgetary spend on duplicating the capacities of a rival agency could be justified.”

    Interesting. I met a guy from Washington a few years ago who works for the Government and who travels to Frankfurt every few months for business. He is a trainer and teaches classes about their 'technical equipments'. We have become friends and I'm seeing him next month again. Should I ask him if he works for the CIA? lol 

  6. No, but they are calling the collection "awful", and I fail to understand how a collection of Madonna songs (regardless of the order, track list, versions included etc. etc.) could be described as such.

    I fail to understand why it is hard to understand that some fans expected a better release?!

  7. Everybody who knows me, knows that I'm Madonna fan and whenever someone new comes along and starts talking shit about Madonna, all heads in the group turn around looking for my reaction or what I have to say. I've learned to just nod and smile it off. I have no desire to lecture people about her...if they don't like her, fine, not my business.
