*EVERYBODY MOVED*

Another classic Madonna moment.

Never change!

Leave Shoo-Be-Do Alone!

From the new Paper article:
 
Naturally, a compilation was the least she could do. Finally kicks off a multi-year initiative to reissue all her past albums, remastered, which will include previously unheard versions and rarities so mythic the reveal of them could send certain corners of the Madonna fandom into bouts of foaming-at-the-mouth hysteria.

Below, collaborator Honey Dijon chats with Lady M about "Finally Enough Love" and how the industry has evolved in the last three decades.
Honey Dijon: What was the process of creating Finally Enough Love?
Madonna: Putting this project together was like taking a trip down memory lane. It was a cathartic, emotional experience and brought back so many memories. I realized how hard I’ve worked, and what an adventurous musical life I’ve led! Most importantly, it made me realize how meaningful dance music has always been to me.

HD: [Thinking back on my Madonna awakening] "Everybody" was the first song of yours that I danced to! Growing up at the beginning of house music culture in Chicago, it was played in a lot of the early house music clubs. At the time I had no idea that I was dancing to someone who would become one of the most influential artists ever. I then saw the [music] video and fell instantly in love and I ran to Gramaphone Records and bought the 12 inch [vinyl]. I was blown away by the album artwork. I still have that original copy. Your legacy transcends music, it has changed culture. Your body of work across art, music, fashion, and performance is the template of the consummate artist that will continually influence generations of music lovers and performers alike. You changed the game! With that in mind what would you say you learned about yourself while creating the project?
M: An interesting observation I had throughout this process is how music production has evolved over the years—going from analog to digital—but also the sounds that people use, the kind of percussion, the synth sounds, all of it. It’s so different from the early ‘80s up until now. The music from the ‘80s has a naivety to it and a simplicity which I love and I miss, but then we have this new awesome technology at our fingertips and we can make synths sound like a voice, and a voice sound like a percussionist instrument or violins. It’s easier to create quickly!
HD: The remix for the track “I Don’t Search I Find” is included on the project, which I am so excited about! It reminded me of a very special time of clubbing in New York and I wanted to capture the sexiness of that moment in my approach. It was already a great dance song, so for me, I wanted to keep the spirit of the original but add a bit more drama for the dance floors. I still pinch myself that I am part of such and iconic project with music that has become the fabric of my life, [music] that continually brings joy to millions. Besides our song together, what would you say is one of your favorite tracks on the album?
M: It’s always great to work with you Honey, you’re my favorite DJ in the whole world, and my favorite song on the entire record is of course… "Finally Enough Love!"

It really is only for rich collectors. A scam marketing initiative. Bars, clubs, public places etc with any brain would go directly to their local lighting company and get their own neon lettering made for half the price. It's not as if the lettering was some inspired graphic design, it's just the most basic scroll font.

And yet you felt the need to re-post a load of empty space. Sigh.

lol she didn’t use anyone. She credited Madonna and the fans listened to it because they like it. 

Lol
Lolz at the vendors playing DCFMA on the sound system...

Wasn't sure where to post this link but it's birthday related so here will do.
64 interesting facts relating to Madonna as an artist on the UK Charts - https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/64-incredible-madonna-chart-facts-feats-and-trivia__23566/
I think this was my fave fact: 
59. She has 13 Number 1s, 12 Number 2s, 9 Number 3s, Five Number 4s, Seven Number 5s, Four Number 6s, Seven Number 7s, One Number 8 – Human Nature, which completed her set, Two Number 9s, and Three Number 10s.

Can they put that CAC release on streaming

Isn't the fortieth anniversary of Everybody in October?  They are running short of time if they wait much longer to manufacture the product(s) but let's face it, she could sell out in an hour if there is some crazy limited edition of something.  A three month window is forever and a day when you actually have only twenty minutes (three months ahead) to buy the actual item for sale.  I feel like there should be a window (order by date).  The release could be capped off by sales during that window and thus still be limited. That would help the fans out and keep the greedy opportunists at bay.  It is really unfair that a fan of ten, twenty, thirty or forty years cannot buy a celebratory release because some dick bought it within a ten or twenty minute window like with the MDNA holographic cover and does not give a rat's ass about it.
