Time for tracks. This time around there are a several mainstream guilty pleasures (some by people I never thought would make an appearance on these posts), some unintentionally hilarious/scary things and a few things that I find really good...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>For the very first time, this lavish 33 CD
box set brings together every single released by the iconic girl group during
their London Records tenure, from their 1981 debut Aie A Mwana to 1993's More,
More, More. With perennial pop classics such as Cruel Summer, Venus, Robert De
Niro's Waiting and Love In The First Degree all present and correct alongside
fan favourites A Trick Of The Night, Only Your Love, Cheers Then and Love,
Truth & Honesty and sought-after overseas releases He's Got Tact, King Of The
Jungle and The Wild Life, this is undoubtedly the definitive Bananarama
collection. </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>Each remastered CD single is presented in an individual card sleeve
replicating the classic original vinyl artwork, painstakingly compiled to
include absolutely every B-side and remix originally issued around the world,
as well as many previously unavailable instrumentals and other rarities.
Including over a hundred tracks not included on our hugely successful album
reissues and recent Megarama remix anthology, In A Bunch is a must-have for all
Bananarama fans and self-respecting pop aficionados alike. </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>Housed in an
heirloom-quality outer box, the set also includes a 48-page booklet featuring
full lyrics, discography and new sleeve notes, plus an exclusive fold-out
double-sided mini poster, sticker sheet and postcard set. Released with the
co-operation of Sara and Keren, In A Bunch is compiled and annotated by
acknowledged expert Tom Parker.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>Released July 31 2015.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">It is simply amazing how well the back catalog of <b>Bananarama </b>has been treated. Every album they released has received a deluxe 2CD+DVD treatment, there was a 3CD remix album and a greatest hits CD, complete with a DVD with all their music videos - and now this! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">A dream come true for every fan/collector - I couldn't pre-order this fast enough! I already have almost all of their original CD singles, but this box includes loads of releases that never came out on CD, including some rare Japanese ones. Now to wait for the track list (and hope that other artists will follow suit with a complete singles sets).</span></div>

In what has become the longest time between posts since <i>Barbarella's Galaxy </i>started, it seems overdue to post one - and it's another selection of tracks that I am loving these days.<br />
<br />
This lot includes two of the best music videos I have seen in a while - the latest ones from <b>Madonna</b> and<b> Stromae</b>.<br />

It's been ages since my last collection of tracks (actually, it's been ages since my last post!). I have been extremely busy and really haven't had the extra time to maintain the blog.<br />
<br />
But here are some recent tracks I have been blasting. As always, the good, the tacky and everything in between. Enjoy :)<br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><b>The Inside Story of How Madonna Turned Her
‘Rebel Heart’ Leak Into a Global Hit</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">On December 16, Madonna was in her New York
apartment when she received word that more than a dozen unfinished demos for
her forthcoming album had leaked. Her manager, Guy Oseary, was just returning
to his Beverly Hills estate when he got the news. The album, Rebel Heart, was
set for a late-April release, and thanks to a meticulous marketing plan and an
inspired group of collaborators (including Diplo, Kanye West and Avicii), buzz
was strong on the singer’s 13th studio full-length.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">But now, all bets were off. Madonna shot
off a fiery post on her Instagram account lambasting the leak as “artistic
rape,” Oseary got on the phone, and both sprung into action. “I don’t recall
that phone coming off my ear from 6 a.m. to 6 a.m.,” he says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">High-profile leaks and other security
breaches have been a scourge of the entertainment industry for the past 15
years: from Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in 2001 and Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III
in 2007 to Madonna’s own “Give Me All Your Luvin'” in 2011 – which resulted in
an unidentified fan’s arrest in Spain, although he was later released – not to
mention the hacker group Anonymous’ threats to rapper Iggy Azalea in 2014’s
final weeks. But this Madonna leak was unusually severe, including images and
videos as well as music. However, the singer and her team’s quick response may
have set a new precedent for how the industry can mobilize in an effort to
combat them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><img height="400" src="https://33.media.tumblr.com/0a75027ae1fac81d38e4b1bfc6009f78/tumblr_nhk8xc7eoW1tb5bt3o1_1280.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">On the morning of December 17, Steve
Berman, vice chairman of Madonna’s label distributor Interscope, was on the
phone with her and Oseary. “She was in a very angry, upset, emotional place,”
Berman recalls. He had visited her in New York the week prior to hear some of
the album’s first finished songs with label president/CEO John Janick. “She
told me, ‘Steve, I care about my music. I can’t have the songs being heard the
wrong way.’ ”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Berman was confident that Apple’s iTunes
could be engaged to turn around an official release of finished Rebel Heart
tracks on a dime, even though the digital retailer’s servers would effectively
shut down for the year on Dec. 19, just two days later. But he faced two major
hurdles: pushback from the upper rafters at Universal Music Group (“Should we
just wait and do it all at the top of the year?” was the response from one
executive) and the availability of iTunes vp content Robert Kondrk, who was
already on vacation with his family in Mexico.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">During the next 48 hours, Kondrk was able
to help Apple greenlight a Rebel Heart preorder that would include six
instant-gratification songs for download by midnight ET on December 20 –
including “Living for Love,” the set’s first single, which was initially
intended for a Valentine’s Day release (and will now be promoted to radio on
February 10). However, Madonna had to make sure the six songs were in finished
form, so she holed up in her New York studio working on the final mixes into
the wee hours of the morning of December 18. “There was no time to call any of
the producers — nothing,” says Oseary. “Just her final mastering sessions.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><img height="400" src="https://33.media.tumblr.com/0479379be15ac432972201cdd092612f/tumblr_nhk8xc7eoW1tb5bt3o3_1280.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The result of Rebel Heart’s 48-hour
turnaround? The album preorder topped the iTunes charts in more than 40
countries — including the United States, where three of the six released tracks
entered Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart dated Jan. 3, despite just
two days of eligibility. To date, the six tracks have sold a combined 131,000
downloads, according to Nielsen Music, with preorders for Rebel Heart at a
robust (considering the situation) 50,000 to 60,000, according to industry
estimates. “We know that in today’s world, having a top 10 album with no
promotion is really hard,” Oseary says. “It’s pretty… exciting isn’t the right
word, but it’s rewarding to see it so well-received.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Still, Madonna’s work is far from over.
There’s still at least one more preview track from Rebel Heart on its way
before the album’s March 10 release (likely due February 8, the night of the
Grammy Awards, Oseary says), and an official video for Living for Love, to be
filmed in late January. Plus, there’s an ongoing investigation into the source
of the leaks (another 14 tracks hit the Internet on Dec. 24), which, given
their volume, seem too far-reaching to emanate from a usual suspect like a
studio staffer or a backing musician. Neither Oseary nor a UMG representative
would confirm that the investigation has resulted in a police report. Oseary’s
only comment on the matter was, “We are working really hard to solve this
crime.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><b>Lana Del Rey</b> has revealed that she has
finished nine songs for a new album titled <i>Honeymoon</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The singer told <i>Billboard</i> that the
production on <i>Honeymoon</i> is "perfect", and that she is only waiting
for "a few more songs to tie everything together. </span>"It's very different from the last one
[<i>Ultraviolence</i>] and similar to the first two, <i>Born to Die </i>and Paradise,"
she revealed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Del Rey continued: "I finished my last
one in March and released it in June and I had a follow-up idea. It's growing
into something I really like. </span>I'm kind of enjoying sinking into
this more noirish feel for this one. It's been good."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Del Rey also revealed that <i>Honeymoon </i>will
include a cover of '<i>Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood</i>', a song made famous by <b>Nina
Simone</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">"After doing a cover of [the <b>Jessie
Mae Robinson</b> track] '<i>The Other Woman</i>', I like summarising the record with a
jazz song. I'm having fun with my interpretation," she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">So, we can expect new albums from Lana,<b> Marina & The Diamonds</b> AND (most importantly) <b>Madonna</b> this year! Hurrah!</span></div>

I would prefer my fans to hear completed versions of some of the songs instead of the incomplete tracks that are circulating. Please consider these six songs as an early Christmas gift." height="237" src="http://36.media.tumblr.com/e9b8576df843beeca4fa9f94d23bc2c9/tumblr_ngw69tLqRi1tb5bt3o1_1280.jpg" width="640" />Barbarella's Galaxyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13412715855179155079noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704710091923437850.post-13723236043328919452014-12-01T19:31:00.002+00:002014-12-01T19:32:07.079+00:00Interview...<img alt="Interview - The Art Issue" src="http://news.madonnatribe.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/interview_01-540x220.jpg" height="260" width="640" /><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><i>Before the whole world knew her as “The
Divine Miss M,” Bette Milder was ours. In the early ’70s, bawdy, belt-y Bette
was performing for the NYC bathhouse boys, and don’t think she’s forgotten it,
either. “I mean, if I had a nickel for everybody that said they saw me at the
baths,” says Midler in our recent interview, “I would be Joe Billionaire by
now!”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>Midler would go on to global fame, reaching
beyond music to become a celebrated name in film, television and on the stage,
winning Grammys, Golden Globes, Emmys and a special Tony Award. And now, the
eagerly awaited return of one of show business’s most versatile performers has
arrived with the release of her first album in eight years, “It’s the Girls,” a
tribute to some of the greatest female harmonies in history.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>Midler talked about the anticipated tour
she’s about to launch in support of this latest effort – and the truck full of
hairpieces she’s schlepping along (“Cher has 55 wigs; why can’t I?!”). She also
touched on her early support of the LGBT community, the degradation of the word
“diva” and her plan to avenge Mae West for sending her a cease and desist.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>You know how much we gays love our girls.
How much do you keep your gay following in mind when you make music,
particularly with “It’s The Girls”?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>To tell you the truth, it really didn’t
cross my mind. The music I chose is music I had a lot of affection for. Some of
these songs I’ve known since I was a little girl. I feel like if I have a
strong feeling for this music, people will also have a strong feeling for it.
The truth is, you cannot pander. You have to go with your gut and your heart
and be true to yourself, and hope that people like it. They generally do.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>You were welcoming to the gay community at
a time when many weren’t. When you look back at your early support for the LGBT
community, what do you recall as being the moment that galvanized you to stand
up as an ally?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>I had been in the theater for a long time,
from the time I was a young person, and I’d always known gay people – and they
were just, like, gay people! Just ordinary friends. People that you knew, and
that you never thought twice about. You didn’t think of them as being
different, although looking back on my high school years, I think there were a
lot of people in my high school – this is so many years ago; this is 50 years
ago – who probably were gay and didn’t ever talk about it. As a matter of fact,
one of the kids that I went to school with, an enormously popular guy – really
funny, really wonderful – who was in my Latin class, wrote me before he passed
away from AIDS to tell me that he had been gay and that he had contracted AIDS.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>So, I mean, what was the moment when I said
that it was time to stand up? Oh my god – it never occurred to me not to. These
were friends of mine – people that I had worked with, people that I had danced
with, people I had broken bread with my whole life – so it never occurred to me
not to. You do what you do because there’s nothing else to do. There’s no other
option.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>But to stand up for people who were seen as
pariahs – that was taboo then. Did you experience any backlash for supporting
gay people at the time?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><i>You know, I might have, but I was very
well-protected in those days. I actually did not feel it. I remember the first
big benefit that anyone had done for gay rights (“A Star Spangled Night for
Rights” in 1977). I remember the poster, and it was at the Hollywood Bowl. Lily
(Tomlin), Richard Pryor and Tom Waits were on the program, but nobody ever said
LGBT then. That didn’t exist.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

great. I don’t even know if this is in your history books or anything, but he

could. He said that the gay community had never supported civil rights and,
“Where were you when we were riding and they were kicking us to the curb and we
were being fire hosed?” Then he said, “You all can kiss my rich, black ass!”
and he stomped off the stage. And I had to follow him! I mean, I’m just

<span lang="EN-GB">It should come as no surprise that Madonna
tops this list. Madonna forged a path for younger singers like Lady Gaga and
Britney Spears by breaking down many of the barriers working against a
powerful, sexual and outspoken singer/songwriter who controls her own fate. She
pushed boundaries, created controversy, and sang about topics that were often
uncomfortable to others. All along she consciously worked to build her brand
and become not only a successful singer but also a business woman. Her success
has spanned over thirty years. Madonna has appeared in numerous movies, often
in leading roles. It’s believed that Madonna is worth roughly $1.1 billion – a
surprising number for a woman who has only released 12 studio albums during the
entirety of her music career.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
