I think if i was a popstar i may be like Kylie always a M fanatic, loving all music and artforms and just appreciating life....she is such a lovely lady!
And it is funny, this week seems to be Madonna-rediscovery week...American Life i have newfound love for, like totally infatuated with it taking songs apart and productions...the scale of that album....it speaks to me so much! Intervention has fast become one of my favourite songs of all time! Really suited a beautiful day yesterday! ![]() TECHNO/Acoustics/Trance/Ambience/Acoustics/Choirs.....you cannot touch it tbh ![]() glad we have influenced you HM baby! ![]() Been on an Ebay spree....found Batman The Animate Series complete series every episode Region Free! and series 3 and 4 are unavailable in the UK only STateside...so yeah went all out! now looking for Justice League and Batman Beyond and may check out if some MDNA merch is on there too! Also did i mention about Nancy Sinatra following me on twitter Britney and now Nancy im on the way up peeps hehe!![]() And in terms of M albums i really enjoy AL its one of her more artisitic/alternative much more creative and boundary pushing and would have been a nice successor to ROL if only the US were not so patriotic when they ought to know better and frankly i much prefer it to music.Well im excited Ellie Goulding had a title, cover art and release date for her new album Halcyon 8th october mark it in your calender as im totes excited |

It is such a phenomenal scale! And i never understand the current decline in appreciation in Music, its kinda like the "forgotten album" really wedged inbetween the super-awesomeness of ROL and the Super-Controversies of AL...i mean Music sold so so much and was critically an acclaimed piece of work but always seems overshadowed even Bedtime Stories has moments to shine and stand out at times but Music is rarely spoken of which i always find absurd. But what i loved with that trilogy of albums is that ROL/Music/AL they sound so ahead of their times...they bring back memories of an era where Pop music really was beyond what it is now...watered down carbon copy messes -_- meh! It was a time where Icons became legends, stars became icons and stars were even experimental! What happened post-2007???? :sleep: Anyways....not sure about Ellie tbh...i mean i got Light in 2010 but havent played it for ageees and nothing has really pulled me thus far...we will see. But im all excited for The XX, Nelly Furtado and No Doubt for Sept...maybe P!nk...maybe....still needs to pull me in. |

I am totally in love with Rumer at the moment
Both her albums are such slow growers but she is truly remarkable. Believe it or not, she has quite a small and loyal fanbase in the states. |

And i know apart from the left field baroque pop of flo and the bubblegum pop of Katy Perry im feeling a little deflated TBH. And im really excited thus far for Ellie her new material sounds interesting indeed harder edge more so than Lights which was a bit hippy sparkly folktrinica

I'm spending the evening playing my guitar. I've been noodling around and playing along to Bob Dylan, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, and John Mayer.

Have a read of this review of Chris Brown's latest album. Hilarious although I'm sure the author will probably incur the wrath of Team Breezy as a result.

Without giving too much away, Tyler meets his match. Enough said
The film was ok. Not amazing. Anything with Nicole Kidman, then i have to see it. I love her. |

Her career went downhill a bit after she won her Oscar. Then she had a baby and went a bit quiet. Australia was bloody awful but she actually conceived her child while doing that film i found out. But then she made a huge comeback with Rabbit hole in 2010 and her role choices have just improved since.
I've always felt she lived in Cate Blanchette's shadow though, another Australian actress whose career has been a lot better than Nicole's |

I've seen several of Cate films and while most would argue she is a lot better, for me i can't connect with her performances, where as with Nicole i can. Moulin Rouge, I didn't like it but Nicole was the best thing about it. Her performance was very Marilyn-Monroe esque and it was powerful to see someone inhabit a iconic actress who no one till this day can match.
Toni Collette is another top american actress too but she does low key roles and is often the black sheep among Nicole, Cate and even Naomi Watts. |

Muriel's wedding is hilarious. She was great in The Sixth Sense and she did a great television show a few years ago called The United States Of Tara. She played a mother with different alternative personalities. Very good.
