Just stopped at Virgin and listened to some of it. Madonna and Timbaland are like oil and water together. You can pick out everything each of them did on the track. Yeesh. Not good.

Seems like a "transition" album, though, so she'll bounce back with a more defined persona on the next one, maybe as a 20s flapper or something.

Funniest part of Virgin is seeing all the queens circling the (one) station with the Madonna CD, pretending they're looking at/listening to other albums. Then the homeless man finally puts the headphones down and everyone makes a mad dash for them.

And a very small porn niche.

There is a line of what appears to be homeless mercenaries (and quite possibly some trannies with casios) lined up outside of Roseland today.

I heard "Trannies with Casios" is the name of the next Fatboy Slim album.

I have no idea who this singer is. Shame she doesn't get any publicity.

Also, if it's really that bad, shouldn't it make "Swept Away" look good? Not put it to shame. Sense, anyone?

Spiegelman posted a link to a "leaked" posting of "Hard Candy" and this reader is wrong. Dead wrong. Some tunes are awesome -- especially the one with Kanye where it sounds like a "Casio" was used. That 80's vintage electro-pop sound is just too groovy. Some tracks are not so good, such as the ones where Timbaland leaves his signature imprint. I can't wait for the Timbaland backlash to start . . .

Yes, but a fierce tranny! You better work!
*sigh* Sorry, that John F Page video made me nostalgic for the '80's.
