- Madonna - Hung Up: She's back with a fun dance track. The ABBA sample sounds cool at first, but then you have to wonder.. does Madonna really need to sample anybody? Shouldn't lesser artists be sampling her?
- Paul Weller - Come On/Let's Go: Finally, Mr. Weller gives up trying to be Sting (i.e. dull) and goes back to energetic rockm showing the young 'uns how its done.
- Franz Ferdinand - You're The Reason I'm Leaving: Scotland's arty rockers are back, and yes I've finally warmed up to them.
- Bob Sinclar - Love Generation: At least I got to hear this one on a beach before summer's end!
- H.I.M. - Wings of a Butterfly: Ice cool Finnish metal rockers with a thing for a dramatic chorus.
For this week's classic pick.. I'm going pop with Waiting For That Day by George Michael. As far as I'm concerned it was all downhill after Listen Without Prejudice, and may I announce right here that I HATED his last album? There.. I said it!!
Phil Collins?

ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting that Madonna can no longer reinvent herself?
Mama Fusla.. I'm sure she can do better. It's just that after a few listens, the novelty of the ABBA sample is wearing off. A few years from now, this song will NOT be remembered among her classics, but just as a throwaway, like the godawful "American Life".
ReplyDeleteAnd who knows? Maybe she has finally (gasp!) run out of ideas. Lets wait for the album and see..
