american life is not what it seems

I was remiss this week in not acknowledging Madonna's 53rd birthday here. After all, the woman is my single biggest music obsession for the last ahem years. She is awesome in infinite ways.



I was going to go through my playlists and post here five hidden gems from the ultimate entertainer of my generation, and then I realize there are plenty of hidden gems from her much-aligned American Life cd on its own. I freaking love every single of one of these songs. Like Erotica, I think American Life in hindsight will prove to be a great album. It's introspective, tough, melancholic. It's the marketing, not the songs or the music, that went wrong. Evidence:



Intervention





Easy Ride





X-Static Process





Nobody Knows Me





Nothing Fails
