I've seen b roll footage from the Dallas show. I can't find a link at the moment, but it's safe to say that there's footage of every show, right? That's how the Houston show leaked and somehow was "officially" released.

The cover now has a PA sticker as well.

I'll need to look for it, but it was actually the director Melodie McDaniel that didn't like the look. She was wanting a more accessible, less glam look to go with her vision of the song.

He sings the whole song, verses and chorus. The beginning is M's sped up vocals like a chipmunk. Her normal voice comes in at the chorus. Music is sparse. It's almost as if it was just his vocal take with instrumental elements. No where near a completed track.

Get into the groove. Always and forever. Lol. I still feel effervescent inside when I hear it.

This is why the cover looks like it does. Amazing beauty team, and Garren knows how to elevate Madonna's hair to the glamourous heights while still keeping it edgy. I'm a hairdresser, and i worship his work. Truth Or Dare promo campaign '91, SEX book, etc.

I'm starting to think Madonna is just collateral damage in this. I'm sure Guy O is a fine human being, but people at his level have lots of enemies whether he's earned them or not. He's a good business manager because he seems obsessed with money and branding. He's just started the mega-management firm, which for all intents and purposes appears like he's spearheading a movement to acquire all the entertainment managers under his umbrella. If someone wanted to hit him where it hurts, or make him look like an inept manager, who better to fuck over at this point? Madonna. He already hit a bump with the iTunes U2 fiasco.

I'm addicted is one of my all time favorite Madonna songs, it's just, in my opinion, without a lot of nuance of sound. There are many layers to that song, and it to me feels almost too strong. The end part is amazing though.

I'm not really familiar with today's mixmasters. Is Mike Dean a mixer or producer or both? Nobody beats Spike Stent or Marius DeVries. I can actually hear the sounds hanging in the air on those guys' tracks.

Just listening to the William Orbit alternate mixes from soundcloud revealed a lot of depth in the sounds of Love Spent, I'm a Sinner, and Some Girls. But I'd say my biggest disappointment in mixing was I'm Addicted...the MDNA album mix, but the live album mix is unlistenable for me.

I know! The soundboard from the MDNA shows sounds better than what he did for the live album. The wall of sound and zero sonic texture was a buzzkill for me with MDNA. I hope working with the new crew will introduce her to new mixers.
