Looks like a performance at NYU (where she was a student for a few years). She really can sing (though she has a few misses playing the piano). There’s talent there, covered these days in a blond wig/hairdo and heavy makeup. Do your best to ignore the goofy MC, if you can. :)

While I think the described deal is insane (Madonna is getting a sweetheart deal), this is the key phrase:

In addition, after an undetermined period, Live Nation would return the rights to albums produced under the deal back to Madonna. Under her current deal with Warner Music, the record label kept control of Madonna’s albums; if she signs with Live Nation, Warner will still retain those works (and Madonna owes Warner one more studio album before she makes any for Live Nation).

This is a key thing for artists that get big. They should own their own catalogs, and the labels, once they’re done promoting the album, should relinquish rights. That just seems fair.

I can’t believe I just bought 2 tracks from iTunes from an iMix named “TRL Top 10.”

The tracks were Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy (also got Sugar, We’re Goin Down, which I like better) and Hung Up from Madonna’s new album. The stupid track was bugging me because I couldn’t figure out which ABBA song it samples heavily. I thought it was Take a Chance on Me (or the Erasure cover), but the actual track is Gimme!Gimme!Gimme!.

Heidi also bought The Legend Of Johnny Cash today which has been pretty cool. I never really listened to much Cash before, but have enjoyed what I’ve heard so far. Beyond Ring of Fire and Walk the Line, I really liked A Boy Named Sue.
