Celebration

Okay, not sure if this is true, but so cool if it is: I read somewhere that when Madonna shot the video Express Yourself, she listened to Tanita Tikaram's debut album Ancient Heart between takes. I makes sense. Madonna's life was a whirlwind at that point, and Tanita's calming voice was probably a welcome "brain rest" for Madonna.

"A portion of sales proceeds will be donated to brain cancer research." That's a nice way of honoring Peter.

I wonder if MATM will be included, since it wasn't on AL... Oh well, we'll find out when the track list leaks.

American Life, (two remixes), Mother And Father,(One) Nothing Fails (two) and Nobody Knows Me (one) I wonder what more it is... Eight tracks on one LP...

The list is out, and it is an American Life Mixshow Mix, In Memory Of Peter Rauhofer. https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/15911

On your birthday! That's so wonderful. And 15 is such a milestone. I'm happy for you. I remember feeling really bummed out and sad the day after my 18th birthday, when I saw a newspaper reporting from Madonna's first evening in London 1993. I had no idea she was on tour! Since she wasn't coming to Sweden, noone bothered to report about that here. :/ Thank heavens for internet! Now I know about coming shows in GOOD time.

Jun 30th 1990- Blond Ambition World Tour Eriksberg Gothenburg, Sweden Aug 24th 2006- Confessions Tour Horsens Denmark Aug 9th 2009- Sticky & Sweet Tour Ulevi Gothenburg Sweden (Stood right in front of the stage and had eye contact with Madonna a couple of times. Unreal moments! ) P.S. Madonna is incredibly cute in person. Jul 4th 2012- MDNA Tour Ullevi Gothenburg Sweden Nov 14th 2015- Rebel Heart Tour Tele2 Arena Stockholm Sweden Oct 28th 2023- Celebration Tour Tele2 Arena Stockholm Sweden

No. I'm only illustrating that sometimes it's too obvious that it's a lie. There's room for at least 20.000 more in the picture, but because they want the tour to be a complete sold out success, they SAY that it's sold out.

No. Ullevi 2012 was nowhere near sold out.

No Lennon was killed in 1980. Gaga was born in 1986. (But who knows. Maybe she WAS there in a previous life? )

Yeah, I've seen this and got in trouble once for pointing it out. I said in some thread on Twitter that M:s MDNA show in Sweden was far from sold out, and some nitwit immediately tried to correct me by saying that Wikipedia stated the show was sold out. I said it was a lie, I was there and saw the desolation with my own eyes, and provided a picture from that evening. I was more or less labelled a hater and almost blocked from a Madonna fan profile. (They later did block me for calling "the reductive moment" childish) Okay, fact that fans don't know. I read somewhere that Madonna suffers from panic attacks. It sometimes happens when she performs in arenas. It's like she feels like the place is running out of air and she can't breathe. She can handle it, but it's still tough. I don't know if it's true.

Why not! But I'd love a pink disc and the other one powder blue...

I think that they might release something related to Bedtime Stories for Record Store Day. That album wasn't one of her super popular ones, so a small special edition could be something for RSD.

This is so exciting. Mama's got something cooking!

I'm sorry Brendon. I didn't mean to be so harsh. But yes. According to the qweenz at madonna-infinity, You ARE a genius.

Aldo was rolled in tar and feathers and chased out of the forum. He was basically told over and over how bad his designs was. His design for FEL, the vinyl box, was dragged in the mud. The other guy, the one who designed the damn ungly black and white cover for FEL, was celebrated as a genious.

I don't think Decades will be chosen. It soulds like she's a 500 year old vampire It sounds too much like a Duran Duran tour. (Their greatest hits from 1989 was called Decade)

Dear heavens! Those prices are outrageous. I'd rather buy deluxe editions of the reissues we're waiting for, and that we hopefully #soon will be able to pre-order.

Yes, but it's a bit too cold at that time of year. Indoor stadiums are of course an option. Like Tele2 Arena in Stockholm.

How About The Bitch Is Back Tour? She loves the word Bitch so much... And this would make everybody say it. I think she'd love it!

Both Super-Pop and Broken were exclusive gifts to fanclub members.

That's about time. The bonus cd is where the good stuff is.

I've actually been thinking the same thing!

Very good idea. And while she's at it. Skip the usual "A soul's journey from darkness to light". Just sing the hits, cash in the checks, smile at fans that bought too many overpriced items in the merchandise booth and go home.
