MADONNA “Give Me All Your Love”
Madge would have me arrested! In fact, she called the cops on an unnamed
fan that allegedly leaked this anticipated cut from her next album
(coming in March, along with a tour). If you dare mess with the goddess
of pop, she will have you in jail because, after all, she must be in
total control (even of her Brahim Zaibat plaything) and her claws are
sharp, baby!
Best Cut: I didn’t leak it!
Location: In a very, very long line at Ticketmaster (nod to Max Berlinger of Out)
PORCELAIN BLACK “Naughty Naughty”
Pop rock diva on the rise, Procelain Black hits right in the Gaga/Madonna gut with a catchy dance pop anthem that is already the soundtrack of 2012. Her strangely half-black half-white hair (Manaj nod?) will be appearing with her in the upcoming film “Rock of Ages.”
Best Cut: Mr. Mig Dub Remix; Location: Ruby Skye
GUINEVERE “Crazy Crazy”
This 20-year old ice hockey player, Star Trek fan and admitted Call of Duty game-playing pop songstress is doing it on her own. Cutting this debut as an independent artist and relying on her classic rock background (an avowed Stevie Nicks fan), Guinevere hits this puck of a plucky cut through the goal. Score!
Best Cut: DJ Escape & Tony Coluccio Club Mix;
Location: Rushing through the Bart tunnel under the Bay.
SCISSOR SISTERS “Shady Love”
Released as a video this week is a long-awaited single from one of our favorite bands of the last decade. Smooth, hooky, retro and modern all at once, yep, it’s so great to start off the New Year with hope that a Scissor Sisters tour will be upon us here in Spring, yes??
Best Cut: Shady Love;
Location: The Bubble Bar
