  1. a few random memories:

    I got Erotica on cassette for christmas when I was 11, and knew enough to know it was going to be "naughty" so my younger cousin and I sneaked away and listened to it on a player in my grandma's room and felt like we were being very rebellious listening to the opening track, just barely loud enough to hear!

    My first maxi single was "Rain" which I got for "Up Down Suite," as it said "non album track" and I was shocked to hear an 11 minute dub, a totally new concept for me. After five minutes of WTF I came around and really liked it and listened to it repeatedly, which drove my family crazy. When my older sister thinks of Madonna she doesn't think of ROL or LAP or ITG, she thinks of "that fucking 45 minute Up Down song!"

    When Music came out I lucked out and got it the Friday before it came out, simply because a store had left a box of upcoming releases opened by the counter. I grabbed it and was so excited. It was like an internet leak complete with CD, booklet and cowboy hat! On first listen "Impressive Instant" knocked me out. I couldn't get enough, it was so weird and fun. I hated "Paradise" because I thought it was weird and not fun, but now it's easily in my top ten.

    The only real "ritual" I have for new albums is just making sure that I set aside the time to listen to it all the way through without distraction. I need my special M alone time!
