MDNA by Madonna. Available March 27, 2012.
Madonna has leaked all over the internet! No I am not referring to complications from her obvious plastic surgery/botox disaster of a face. I am referring to her latest album “MDNA,” which will be released worldwide on March 27, 2012. Normally, this would be where I go into a diatribe about how obvious it is that the record companies are leaking music and then claiming “poor me” syndrome when sales of lackluster music fail to break chart records, but we can save that conversation for another day. Before I give you my two cents on “MDNA,” let me tell you a few things – I have been a Madonna fan since 1983 and if she did what the real Queen of Pop, Kylie Minogue, is doing which is having an “anti-tour” where she’s only playing obscure and unreleased songs and ZERO hits, I’d come running back to the Queen of C-word (Controversy), faster than the walls of Madonna’s Vagina Fly Trap close in on hot young Brazilian boys. I’ve been very dissatisfied with the majority of Madonna’s music over the last 10 years and judging from the first single “Give Me All Your Luvin,” which is possibly the worst and most embarrassing single she’s ever released, I walk into this album with an open mind, but with the probability that I am going to be very disappointed. I realize that speaking any bad words about Madonna is obviously going to piss off some die-hards, but seriously, she may have a religious name but the similarity ends there! So here we go…

Van Hunt
Two bits of great Van Hunt news! Van Hunt will be releasing his first live album “Live At The Troubadour 2011″ on March 13, 2011 (in digital format only). If you’ve never gotten the chance to see Van Hunt live, you are missing out in seeing one of the ONLY true musicians out there who challenges himself and his audience as he refuses to take the “easy road.” When you go see Van Hunt live, you won’t hear a regurgitation of the album, but instead you’ll hear a completely different twist on very familiar songs. His latest album “What Were You Hoping For?” is a breath of fresh air in a time where so many artists repeat what they think is the winning formula. Van Hunt has always been known to mix rock and funk and on this album, you’ll hear genre-bending tracks that seamlessly meld soul and punk!
