The Music Building, 1980

I'm so in love with this photo.

New York, 1980. Madonna shifted gears from Dance to Music, teamed up with old (boy)friend Steve Bray and started experimenting new ways of expression, through this band called Emmy. These photos were taken on the 10th floor of The Music Building - a visual proof of one of the chapters in the Madonna Legend, that we so diligently learned through the first biographies and magazine articles.

Emmy were rehearsing, Madonna was rising...

October 20, 1992

It was Tuesday afternoon. I left school, Cilla left work, we grabbed her motorbike and flew to Lisbon. The day had finally arrived. The hours before were spent on the phone, calling to record stores in downton Lisbon, to know which would get it first. One of them was in Av. de Roma. The moment was solemn.

Got home, put the CD on, pressed Play. And I was speechless. It all sounded like Future. Vanguard. Cutting-edge. Never have I heard such a thing.

Even Dad loved it - I remember him playing Fever and raising the volume up, the house being invaded by that impressive sound.

Eighteen years later, Erotica remains my favourite album of all times.

F****** amazing!

Yesterday I saw this incredible video montage for Broken (I'm Sorry), the unreleased song from M & Oakenfold's Celebration sessions.

It was 1 a.m. and after watching this I couldn't get into sleep. I just wanted to shout yeeeeeeeeaah!!!

There's nothing like a real M fan to make a video that will blow us away - an official release definitely wouldn't top this. The reason is simple: we all speak the same language!

Thank you so much jonus30, for such an AMAZING work!!! Just... perfect.
