Madonna: A trip to my archives is always a nostalgic trip down memory lane! 

If I think about my journey through music over the last 4 decades— how could I not think about all the incredible clothes I got to wear and all the amazing designers I was lucky enough to work with!! 

When I was a little girl I remember my mother was always cold. Partly because she was sick but also because she never had a coat. She always spent what little money we had on our coats and I remember standing outside waiting for the schoolbus With my mother shivering in the cold in the middle of winter!!

Years later when I became successful my mother’s sister said to me, “Now You can buy all the coats your mother couldn’t buy for herself!” 

The journey from the memory of my shivering mother in Winter to me shivering in the over air-conditioned storage space where all my costumes are stored is quite remarkable! 

I am overwhelmed with gratitude. 

Every time I put on an incredible coat I think of my Mother. I hope she likes my taste in costumes 

But most of all i hope she’s warm! 💗

Exploring the Musical Magic of the '4's - From 1964 and ‘84, to 2004… and now ‘24?

What’s up with the 4’s? 1964, 1984, 2004 offered some of the greatest and most historic and culturally significant moments in music history. Can 2024 live up? See analysis within.

(April 15, 2024).  There’s something magical — even mystical — about years ending in “4” when it comes to music.   Something special, in fact… especially in even-numbered decades like this one.   Without exception, those years have generated some of the most impactful, most influential, and most historical musical moments (and songs/albums) since the rock-and-roll era began nearly 70 years…

Self Portrait/Pervert (1994), followed by Self Portrait/Nursing (2004) both by Catherine Opie.

i have been deeply obsessed with catherine’s work for a minute now, but these two images in particular, side by side, keep echoing in my head the past few days. the more i look and think about them the more i love them. the scarring in the second piece!!! just wow!!! the way that the passage of time is reflected on the body is a huge point of interest for me right now. the blurring of the tattoo, the scarring providing a thread of connection to a former self. the madonna and the whore and what lies in between. one day i will feel more eloquent and write pages and pages about this set of images…but until then i have to at least share them with the void to satisfy myself a tiny bit.

Forgive me but I have so much I can say about this that it physically hurts that her fans believe this nonsense…

“she has always been on the frontlines of change in the industry and setting trends”

When?

“she literally changed the demographic of country music from just being for/about older women to teen girls”

There were female artists before that those “older women” listened to when they were teens. When Taylor’s fans are older women there will be a new singer that teens listen to. It’s how the music industry and freaking aging works. 

“she was one of the first people to really centralize social media in marketing”

She’s literally not. The singers that came up in the early 2000s are. They think 2006 is when the internet was being utilised for promoting singers because of Taylor. Google was invented in 1998. Social media & the internet was being used for almost a decade before. JLO is the reason google images was created for goodness sake.  

“she left RCA because she felt that even if they gave her a good deal they would diminish other writers on the label.”

Do they really think she’s the only so singer to leave or stand up to their label. Britney Spears stole her upcoming song from her label and released it to a radio station in 2004/05. 

“she unabashedly writes about her feelings as a young girl and a woman despite getting shit for it at every turn.”

Most female artists who came before her have struggled with this. Dolly Parton would win awards and get up on stage and not be allowed to speak because her MALE partner spoke for her. Even though Dolly was doing all the work. 

“she's one of the first artists to successfully transfer genres from country to pop.”

This is just false. It happens all the time. Not to mention it happens with different genres and artists all the time. 

“she stood up against streaming when literally no other artist did, got them to change some of their policies”

Because she’s the only one that is selfish enough to publicly pick a fight with someone and pretend it’s got nothing to do with her own bank account. Even when I was a fan of hers I knew she was doing it for herself. 

“yet now the exact thing she was worried about has happened.”

Because she was greedy and arrogant and didn’t buy the masters when they were offered to her because she thinks she better than everyone. 

“her move into pop music was completely different than the type of pop that was being made at the time and it influenced pop for years to come.”

Am I deaf? She stuck to the pop model created by those before her to make sure she was successful. Madonna, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Billie Eilish they all took risks with their music and careers to push the envelope and change the sound of pop. Not Taylor “stick to the formula” Swift. 

“all before the me too movement.”

The act TS did herself was admirable but this sentence. This belief that this Swiftie (and potentially other Swifties too) have is a slap in the face to what this movement initially represented and what it meant for women who had endured this. 

“her rerecording process is the first of its kind to be this successful and others are now following suit.”

Wtf does this sentence even mean. They don’t know sh*t about her recording process especially in comparison to other artist. Are they seriously so deluded to think no artist was successful before Taylor. How can they compare her to anyone if they believe this. This statement alone makes it sound like she is the reason music is successful. 

“the way she publicized her fight to own her masters”

Yes for public sympathy cause she’s a narcissist. 

“she also basically started the crop top set trend of the mid 2010s”

One quick google search and this is what I found. “Although the crop top first gained prominence in the fashion industry during the 1930s and 1940s - the latter in particular due to fabric rationing in World War II” I’m sure if I spent more time researching I could find more. But I also know it became very popular in the 1970s with men and carried in through to the 80s and 90s for men and women. Then the 2000s was when the trend reignited. 

“heavily influenced the twee fashion of early 2010s”

This is not the compliment they think it is. This fashion trend is layered with the issues. Her racist fans probably love it because it’s a style that is deemed acceptable by those Hampton holidaying rich white mothers and fathers that got sent to boarding school in England when they were young (I hope that analogy makes sense). It was also equated to thinness particularly at the time it was popularised. Not to mention you google Twee and the pictures you see are if Jess from New Girl, Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl (a character from a 2000s show) and Alexa Chung. 

Also such a bizarre way to end their long winded rant. 

They are all so blatantly ignorant and stupid. I wasn’t going to say stupid but it really is all it is at this point. They are stuck in this cult they can’t even make reasonable arguments anymore. It’s exhausting constantly being bombarded with them all in every facet of life. I see so many videos of Swifties singing her music in public settings like that video of them on the plane, if I was on that plane I’d have jumped out of it, and it’s just infuriating the lack of respect they have for the rest of the world. Yet they expect everyone to respect and worship their cult leader. It’s disgusting and exhausting. 

Sorry this was so long. I don’t have many followers and I know you’re a safe space for people who don’t like her. And I feel like this is something others might agree with.

If you want a few English-speaking reference works, about the feminist reading/interpretation/reception of fairytales, I found three works in a bibliography for an article I read.

One is a reflection of the 80s feminism when it comes to fairy tales: Kiss Sleeping Beauty Good-bye. Breaking the spell of feminine myths and models, by Madonna Kolbenschlag (1988).

A work which you can compare and contrast with a much more recent one, reflecting feminist views from the dawn of the 21st century: 2004's Fairy Tales and Feminism, new approaches, a collective work.

And finally another work from the 80s, that does contain some feminist articles (such as Kay F. Stone's "Feminist approaches to the interpretation of fairy tales"), but isn't all about feminism: Ruth B. Bottigheimer's 1986 Fairy tales and society: illusion, allusion, and paradigm.

Sonic Youth - Expressway To Yr Skull (1985-2010)

We closed the book on our #SonicSummer trek last week. Or did we?! Here's a feedback-laden coda — a 2+ hour live megamix of one of Sonic Youth's signature songs, "Expressway To Yr Skull" (AKA "Madonna, Sean and Me" AKA "The Crucifixion of Sean Penn" AKA one of the best jams ever). A quarter-century of finding the meaning of feeling good! Obviously, this is the perfect thing to play over the holidays when you're visiting with loved ones.

But don't take my word for it. Here's Neil Young in 1992:

Obviously I like Sonic Youth. They are definitely a modern rock 'n' roll band in my eyes. They make some beautiful music. Have you heard "Expressway To Your Skull"? It's unbelievably good. So beautiful! It's classic.

Yeah! The only real complaint you could make is that Neil himself does not make a guest appearance on this mix. But imagine that! It would be cool, that's for sure.

The details:

"Expressway To Yr Skull" (Hollywood 1985) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Baton Rouge 1986) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Paris 1987) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Los Angeles 1991) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Hartford 1992) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Mountain View 1995) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Paris 1999) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Amsterdam 2004) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Chicago 2006) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Paris 2007) / "Expressway To Yr Skull" (Denver 2010)

See you next year, Doom & Gloomies!
