"Living For Love" vs. "Livin' For Love"
I played this a couple weeks ago at a DJ gig and it absolutely killed. By the end there was twice as many people on the dancefloor as before. Really nice late-90's house vibe....and it sounds like there's a full choir in the background bellowing "living for love!!!" right along with Madonna
fun stuff! -
There needs to be backing track because of the screens, elevators and eveything that has to be on sync
Says who? Live music should be about - well, uhhh....the MUSIC!! not about TV screens, elevators, pyrotechnics, dancers, giant stage animals, all that stuff should come second, and put the music FIRST - imho

That's great Hector! I wonder what kind of limits they'll put on your chat w/ Maddy (time-length, content, etc?) I can think of about a million questions I'd die to ask The Queen in person! Here's some ideas Hector in case you can slip any of these questions in *lol*
1) what's a song you've always wanted to perform live in concert, but never have?
2) what's a song you absolutely never want to sing in concert again?
3) what book are you currently reading?
4) what's the last song to make you cry?
5) what's the one song of yours that you always thought would've gotten tons of radio airplay, but was never released as a single?
6) would you ever consider putting out a full compilation album of previously-unreleased material (demos, rarities, old stuff from the vault, etc, unfinished B-sides?) as a present for the fans?

Damn, it's sold for $108.99! This is crazy!?!?!
Not really. The first few copies of this CD-R release sold for around $200-$300 on eBay. The going rate currently for this item is around $75 or so. I had a few extra copies of this leftover (that's my auction btw) but they're gone now - all snatched up in less than 2 days. Supply & demand baby

Why i'm a dullard? That contest is a mess. Win a Valentine chat that will be announced 2 days after Valentine and you have to put those cords on your face in a App that is about everything except love?
But I love that they have done it, this is one of the most entertaining eras from Madonna career!
It takes years to build a house, but only an hour to tear it down.

I couldn't resist....probably won't win but it was still fun taking these pictures *lol*

Current teenagers born in the mid-late 90s & after have had far less exposure to Madonna and her "power" if you will than say, kids my generation and before (I was born in '86).
Just like I had very little exposure to John Lennon or The Rolling Stones. By the time I was 5 years old they were already pretty removed from mainstream radio and they weren't MTV artists. I knew of their power and importance in a very nebulous way; they were just a name that commanded respect but as a teenager, I'd listen to shitty pop music and hardly knew any Rolling Stones songs and maybe 3 Beatles songs. As I became an adult, I explored more into legendary artists and their discography, but that came with time etc.
Madonna is on her way down the same path. Madonna is an MTV Artist, a dying breed, in a sea of YouTube artists.
Just because kids these days are ignorant to how instrumental and vital she has been to pop music over several decades doesn't diminish her acheivments or relevance. It's just gonna be awhile (probably when Madonna is an abuelita) for them to acknowledge it.
Personally I am glad Madonna isn't lumped in with Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. She is respected and acknowledged as one of the last true American rock n roll icons. Sure she is maligned and criticized still to this day, underlining her continued relevance, but all in all, Madonna is still a very revered woman in pop culture. She is to current teenagers what The Rolling Stones or Elvis were to me as a little kid - an important name, an important face, without me really knowing why or caring. But now I do care. They will too eventually.
THANK YOU for validating what I was trying to say! (albeit with a lot more eloquance and a lot less venom than I did) *lol* Casually working the word "nebulous" into conversation is so damn smart & sophisticated. And Mensch, thank you too for your observations from "out in the trenches" of clubland

Are you talking about clubs or radio?
Because she's still the Queen of US club land as the Billboard Dance Chart indicates. Almost every single song she's released in the past gazillion years wound up reaching the top spot there so I don't understand what you are saying tbh. People in their teens and twenties in the US don't know who she is? Misinformed, naive nonsense. Or just another troll's provocation.
Either way. NO
Get yourself a DJ gig, spend some time in the dance music industry, and come talk to me again in 10 years.

mmmm is club/dance play chart still compiled by a list of djs thorughout america? that chart where madonna is actually #2?
are djs just putting songs requested by kids or, sometimes, tries to put their own songs or songs they like...?
just out of curiosity.....
That's an excellent point! The Billboard "Hot Dance Club Songs" chart is indeed made up of a panel of around 150 DJ's in the US from major cities, who report what songs they play every week to Billboard magazine. Not that Wikipedia is a credible source, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Dance_Club_Songs has some interesting reading on how this chart attempts to "rank" songs & artists by club-play. The Billboard chart for club singles doesn't rate songs that people request, only what DJ's actually play for their dancefloors (or what they CLAIM to have played anyway...a long-standing criticism is that certain DJ's will "chart" certain songs based on payola or favors, but then play completely different songs, and no one has any way of knowing for certain which is true).
Another quirk of the Billboard club-play chart is that it's only comprised of a small # of elite big-city DJ's (approx. 150) when in reality there's tens of thousands of nightclubs and bars around the country, that Billboard has no way of knowing what they actually play. See me personally, I'd love to be able to throw down a Madonna song every hour at my gigs, but there's only so many songs I can cram into a 4-hour set, and I have to play what people ask for and what I know will drive people to the dancefloor. On the other hand, being a gay DJ myself, I'll always try to include at least 1 or 2 remixes form Madge during every set (sometimes more if I can get away with it!) http://www.facebook.com/DJMichaelAngelo3/notes = all my playlists from the last 4 years.

she has already secured the gay demographic in her fan base.
She did 20 years ago, yes. Unfortunately, her fan base in 2015 simply isn't the coveted "teens & tweens" anymore or even gays under 30. I'm a DJ in a mid-sized gay club in Michigan, and it's rare that I'll ever get a request for Madonna. It's always stuff that's on pop radio: Rihanna, Beyonce, sometimes Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and some urban-type stuff. That's what "the kids listen to" these days, Madonna isn't played on US radio anymore (at least not her new stuff) therefore, the younger LGBT crowd who go to the gay bars barely know who she is anymore. And that is the reason I think this Grindr promotion is so genius -- it will actually give her some visibility with the 18-25 crowd again. I'm halfway tempted to enter the contest myself, but if I did, I'd have to go all out (it wouldn't be that half-assed www.rebelheartyourself.com website) like literally wrap a black headphone cord around my face, have the 3 wires coming out of my head exactly like Madonna's, etc.....

Was he the one that leaked GAYL?
Same guy. From what I've heard Madonna was just the tip of the iceburg....Bjork too (as the article mentioned) plus scads of unreleased/upcoming songs, acapellas, stems, remixes from other major artists (mostly Sony/BMG related). This guy was a brazen pirate in every sense of the word, and greed was indeed his downfall.

Nice one! I did a Frozen mashup too, except it's actually the Living For Love acapella vs. a remix instrumental of Idina Menzel "Let It Go" (from the movie Frozen) *lol*
Hear a sample clip or buy the legal digital-download wav here: -
Depending on the mood, the first choice that came into my mind was This Used To Be My Playground, but also the entire "I'm Breathless" album cuz it's so fun to sing along to at the top of your lungs *lol*

It's exclusive to spotify only! I need to get the song on my phone so I can listen to it whenever!!
The Michael Diamond Remix (4:57) was also released on limited CD-R promo singles, but these were pressed in extremely limited quantities: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291380786361 - only sent to US Billboard reporters and nightclub giveaway events.

Whoop is correct. Record labels haven't paid remixers on commission since the late 90's. Remixes are usually paid on spec these days, anywhere between a couple grand and $20,000 or so per song, regardless of how well their particular remix sells (Benny Benassi got $15K to remix "Celebration" for instance).
