but surely you can understand the whole hypocritical hype that can exist
(and most of the time certainly does) behind someone saying that he loves
madonna (obviously the early stuffs, because the 80s are soooooo great
nowadays)and let's say, illusions of safety at the same time. I'm not
denigrating pop music, not at all actually (can't stop listening to new
order, i know i'll be damned for that one day or another). i'm just
underlining some movements (i'm not saying that the two are necessarly
linked together) which have very few to do with music in itself. As for
"avant-garde", i was above all emphasizing on the preceding term,
"so-called" (whcih above all means self entitled)... Anyway, i'm just pissed
to hear cynical pop stars enrolling just everyone, from naive 7yearold girls
to underground electronic composers just because she is clever enough to
call starving yet brilliant music producers and put a few seductive elements
in her dull po music.  At least Britney is honest enough to make purely
commercial music. Music for the masses...It makes me think: has anybody
heard about the new depeche mode LP being produced by Mark Bell?

please olivier do not call me avant garde or any restrictive label like
that.
I'm happy to listen to other musics than the ones I'm issuing on my labels
and
my enjoying Madonna dates back from the ealy 80s... Actually I haven't paid
much attention to her since "into the groove" because I liked less what
followed... She surely has been very good at manipulating medias and driving
her carreer. Good for her.
