andrewduckerQ Music Channel seems to be having a Madonna week, showing nothing but endless Madonna videos in an endless cycle of Madonna.
So I set the Tivo to record chunks of it, popping in every half hour or so to unpause it, fast forward through the dulls ones and watch the ones that take my fancy.
Which seem to be everything from Ray of Light onwards. Despite finding her a fascinating person (I've rarely seen someone so adept at manipulating their own image who seem to enjoy it so much), her early music just leaves me cold. The video to Material Girl was pretty cool, but other than that everything before 1999 lasted less than thirty seconds before turning into a jerky blur of 30-speed goodness.
[addendum - except for Vogue]
Oh, and I like both Die Another Day (although it's taken me a good 15 listens to do so) and American Pie (which isn't as good as the original, but still works for me). The latest single I can currently take or leave, except for the rap at the end which I quite like - which invariably means I'll be sick of it by the third time I hear it.
