If it somehow didn't show up in your social media feed (how is that even possible) - Ms. Madonna Ciccone premiered her hotly anticipated The MDNA Tour in Tel Aviv tonight. Check out this pro footage shot just a few hours ago! Opener Girl Gone Wild looks as hot as the video with added priests and a kalashnikov, Express Yourself - we swear it's 1990 again just from the vocals alone! Give Me All Your Luvin' & Turn Up The Radio follow suite. Check out Madonna tearing it UP below! Click the full screen icon bottom right when you've pressed play. (We'll replace that rather annoying player when we can.) Kudos for releasing proper footage the same night as the show! Very forward thinking!
Last week we presented Paris Is Burning - and the similarities to I Am Because We Are are striking. Living with HIV/AIDS, poverty, homelessness, murder. But also warmth and some happiness amongst all the sadness and trying to take care of each other. The first time we saw I Am Because...we were absolutely shattered afterwards. Simply because we know that it's not unique events that are displayed in the film - cases like this exists all over the world really. Malawi is hit the hardest though as it ranks among the world's most densely populated and least developed countries. Out of a population of 15.4 million, almost one million people in Malawi are living with HIV. AIDS is the leading cause of death amongst adults in Malawi, and is a major factor in the country’s low life expectancy of just 54.2 years.
It's very easy to forget just how privileged we all are if you have had access to sanitation, a safe home environment, health care and education growing up - and just how important that is for your self-worth. We too lost a parent at a very young age, and we know how that sadness tugs at your inner core. We donate time working with a sanitation and safe sex project in India and give money to Amnesty every month - anything to try and be part of the solution.
This documentary came out in 2008 and is written, produced and narrated by Madonna - one of the world's most recognized. But the events in it are really of concern to us all because the title says it all. I Am Because We Are. The player for some reason states that it's the trailer - but it is in fact the whole film.
We'd love to hear your thoughts after watching it! Comment below or Facebook us!
Much like the Lana Del Rey .gif we suggest that this mixtape be enjoyed dancing, and with some crotch action! Making it we kept thinking of the Victorian saying Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. If we ever were to get married we'd be proud to have any of the sexy ass artists to sing at the wedding bonanza. Plus we have the classic Berlin remix of Grace Jones' 80's hit as the old, some new peeps like Azealia Banks and her212 and Ayah Marar's bangin' Mind Controller, we've borrowed some beats to make the album versions fit + the mix kicks of with a pair of Blue Jeans. Alsoooo, the mix contains fucking and orgasms - which def is part of a wedding night + some sadness thrown in there for good measure (Gotye), and some shade with the sick Seamus Haji remix of Shady Love haha. Madonna's Gang Bangpart is optional, haha! Enjooooy and let us know your thoughts! Obvs support and LOVE everyone at iTunes or Spotify to name but a few outlets!
Aight, we found our favorite Girl Gone Wild remix a few weeks ago, but not the whole file. But here it iiiiis! Brazilian DJ Thiago Antony's take is unofficial but should be official for sure. It will put some serious oomph into any club night and make people go wild. Boner inducing indeed. The video edit is flawlesssss too. Werque! We need to call Madonna stat!
L.A band Magic Wands are prepping for the release of their new album Aloha Moon by doing a cover of Madonna's Burning Up. Great way of getting some blog mentions, tehehehe. This is one of M's best tracks ever, and we can see this hipster take placed in a indie flick at some coffee place in the middle of nowhere. For the original head over here!
