Idk why but this question made me think of the song 'have you ever' by Brandy. It's hard out here for the young girls, and my best advice would be abstinence tbh, the manosphere and pop the balloon has poisoned the well when it comes to dating and sex, and it's sad to see that things have seemingly gotten WORSE than when I was 23. Also, the guy in the letter is a certified creep like WOAH!!! Alarm bells and red flags.

Madonna (like Minaj) is one of the artists of my lifetime, in the sense that her work makes my constant existential crises worth it. A lot of people lost faith in her ability to produce a solid body of work post Hard Candy (which is my second favorite Madonna album after COADFII), and I can’t blame them as Rebel Heart felt a bit ill-timed, and Madame X… TBH I didn’t listen to that one.

Regardless, the first installment of Confessions on a Dance Floor is undeniable, and was my first conscious Madonna album cycle experience. I still remember how exhilarating it felt to hear/watch Hung Up for the first time. Other moments, like Die Another Day, Frozen, Nothing Really Matters, Don’t Cry for Me Argentina (from the motion picture: Evita, which my dad put me onto alongside Man of La Mancha?? ironically, he loves musicals), Get Into the Groove, Love Profusion, Human Nature, Celebration, and Me Against the Music, are all equally undeniable, and a testament to her trademark reinvention and flawless, willful execution.

Respectfully, Esther blew her entire discography out of the water with Confessions II. It's not uncommon for new artists to get shelved after 1-3 low-performing singles, or completely change their sound/look/message to appease a crowd that doesn't even know wtf they want or what's GOOD for them. The immersive global experience that is Confessions II is a modern miracle, and a testament to the power of music and a stalwart approach to cultural direction. I truly believe that these songs are gifts and challenges to us all. A bit of an admonishment to go harder. Take more creative risks. Build a legacy that we can pull from—reincarnate from.

It’s so raw that when everyone is obsessed with clocking obscure references and recreating pop-culture iconography, Madonna references herself, and then outdoes the reference both visually and sonically.

You’ll hear it on the pod, but this is Alicia’s (@blkmdnna) first Madonna rollout, and it’s so special to witness literal music history with my sister. While our favorite tracks differ, we both agree that the BEST thing about this entire experience is the album. I will never get over this.

Long Live Stuart Price. Long Live Madonna.

This episode is so special to me! It's with great pleasure and privilege that I introduce you to my good sis Alicia (whom most of you will know by her previous artist moniker softxshug).

As y'all know, I've been SUPER into vedic astrology AKA Jyotish, all thanks to Alicia. We get into the mix a bit, covering the sign of Jyestha and it's different incarnations followed by a lovely dermatological chat where we compare the efficacies of different soaps, acids, and lasers.

Technical difficulties notwithstanding, I'm so excited to share this with you. You can find Alicia on X @Purnimashira!

I love the song 'She's Not Me' by Madonna.

I love Madonna period, actually. I think that if everyone listened to more Madonna there would be less interpersonal conflict and strife.

I'm vibing though.

Never let a bitch pimp your style, chile.

Y'all asked for it so here it is, a deeper dive into the manifestation convo we've been having on tiktok and discord. I don't think that every manifestation/timeline-shift influencer/guru is full of shit, I just think they could do a much better job of explaining the psychological preparation it takes to successfully manifest. What works for you, won't necessarily work for me, and thats ok. Madonna does a really good job of showing and telling, instead of just talking at the audience, I can't wait for her album next month.

We also get into Pride month, and the casual homophobia I've been seeing from a lot of hetero-women (for the entertainment of hetero-men at that!) and how it's no better than the hipster racism of the mid 2010's. Very boring actually.

Finally we conclude with a breakdown of Minaj's appearance on the Bryce Crawford show.

Enjoy <3
