This thread is for the topic of Madonna. Particularly the new album "Confessions On the Dancefloor." Am looking forward to the album. Here's the video for the first song "Hung Up" from the above-mentioned album:

let me know when she drops the english accent

[poseidon]

Well you know the ol' sayin' Clubber:

"When in rome do as the romans do..."

I was in Boston for 4 days and came back with a Boston accent...I want to say drawl, or twang, but thats Texas and southern States. What would a Boston accent most sound like, said in a word?

[poseidon]

A rogue, or roguish accent is what comes to mind when I think of Bostonians.

[poseidon]

A brogue, or broguish accent, thats what I mean. Kinda like a Brooklyn accent.

Thx for the link merc.
Well she sure has gone back to her roots w that one. I’d love to hear a club extenda mix.
High dancability trac IMO.
Old gal hasn’t lost the body either.

Yep she looks great. In all honesty though I have to say that "Hung Up" is probably the worst Madonna video that has been made in many, many years. Almost as bad as "Burning Up." Actually it's worse, who-am-I-kidding? It's like the director intentionally made Madonna's scenes look bad if not out-right stupid. For instance the pirouette scenes: I would have had the camera way up close to the ceiling so that the entire pirouette sequence would have flowed. All one continuous sequence. The video, particular the scenes with M, are choppy at best.

What is supposed to be the theme to this video? I'm lost. Yeah Madonna looks great in it (I wish I could do the splits) but it was very poorly directed. Could have been much better considering the success of the song in itself!

I havent seen it yet.

I wonder if I can still do the spilts, I used to be super bendy (and therefore v. popular).

[rockkid]

Hmmmmmmmmmm looks like her idea. She had an actual dance background in college & it looked like that was going to be her life’s path pre singing.
Does look a cheap production though & is humping the boom box a necessity?

And how popular you were amp...need I say more...

The cable guy just left. A young cute fruit. Alas, too young and too full of uhm...err...you know. At least he wasn't young, dumb and full of...you know.

Anyway, roadrunner light was just installed. Decided not to go with cable. Especially considering the installation fees. Jesus-on-the-cross, 39.95 installation fee for roadrunner and a 39.95 installation fee for cable. Plus the first month's payment for both...cod. I went solely with roadrunner. Good excuse not to watch the teli. Time Warner also got their cod...cheque in advance...hardy-har-har.

61 hours without a smoke now. Doing pretty good. The cessation of smoking the second time around, is just about the same as the first time around. The 2nd day was the worst. Stayed in bed most of the day. It's like day two is when the "full shock impact" hits the body and brain. Another 11 hours will be the 72 hour mark.

Is Roadrunner like DSL?

Start trying to eat healthy as well Pat, I packed on some pounds since quitting, but it is WAY worth it.

[poseidon]

Well I took your suggestion about the 1/2 lb. bean and cheese burrito from Taco Bell. Only difference is instead of going to taco bell I made 'em myself. Refried beans, grated cheese, onions and jalpenos. On flour tortillas. Just had a few one...yum.

There is no doubt in my mind that nicotine is not a drug. Out of the vast assortment of drugs I've imbibed upon during my life (that means lots folks,) nicotine is the one that I feel the withdrawal effects the most. Interesting to me anyway, considering...
