Madonna-Hard Candy

For some reason some new albums are not fully available from Rhapsody. All you get is a few stinking sample tracks. So I had to get a copy of this album from another source after listening to several tracks, and then I had to listen to the whole damn album again! Anyhow such is life. What are you going to do, you know? Oh BTW did you hear us bloggers are under attack! It is true, this dude Buzz Bissinger was on Costas Now last night and he totally attacked some guy who runs a blog called Deadspin. Now Bissinger was talking about sports blogs I guess, but I would say his attack should get all the bloggerians upset. One of my favorite "blogs" is http://www.firejoemorgan.com/ which is a sports blog, but really is about how bad most sportswriting is, and I say I agree, really most journalism at this point is either regurgitating press releases or extremist opinion pieces. Real reporting is pretty rare these days, and Mr. Bissinger is no exception. Anyhow if you are interested you can read the recap on Deadspin, FireJoeMorgan, or King Kauffman on Salon who is a writer, or maybe a blogger I am not sure. Long live the Blog! Death to media!
Madonna's new album is perhaps her worst yet. It is sad to hear her trying to stay relevant by working with Timbaland et al. Perhaps it is time for her to do an album of showtunes, or do an album with Rick Rubin. I don't know, but this one gets a little man who has walked out of his chair.
