Unlikely Trip-Hop 90's

Used to love this song when I was 9. My brother borrowed this 5fm compilation disc and out of all the commercial pop-sounding rock songs on the CD, this one caught my attention. This eeries vibe mixed with indie acoustics. Perfect blend. In true youngin in the 90's style, I wrote down the lyrics from listening to the song line by line. The trip-hop downtempo spirit had me years ago. See this now in my love for 'Drowned World' taken off of the 'Ray of Light' album of 1998. Produced by William Orbit, the song takes on the trip-hop influences of Bristol in a bittersweet gem of a song I cannot get enough of.

She Makes Me Want to Hit the Gym

Madonna looking absolutely fabulous and fierce. She is the dopeness; even those who can't stand her secretly acknowledge this fact to themselves.

Madonna Finally Given Mercy

Well, good for her. Her wish was granted. The Malawian court has ruled in her favour and allowed her to adopt the little girl Chifundo. A great thing too. For all kinds of reasons, people have expressed their opposition to celeb-adoption. They prefer children to remain in their countries of origin where they can stay close and in-touch with their ethnic heritage. Yes, let them know their heritage and continue to reside in poverty. It may sound materialistic. But rather they grow up in comfort knowing that whatever they wish to do and become as adults will not be entirely difficult owed to their newfound privilege. This is where I stand up and support decisions to adopt. Madonna is a mother herself, even though the media slanders her to no end, she may very well be a sincere and loving individual with her adopted kids best intentions at heart. All in all, I'm glad Mercy has been given a family. In this case, it's not just a family in itself but a chance at life she wouldn't have had otherwise.
