UPDATE: Madonna Responds To Deadmau5 Criticism

UPDATE: Madonna has responded to Deadmau5′s criticism that the singer should not have promoted drug use at Ultra Music Festival by asking “Who here has seen Molly?” We don’t really buy it (the pop icon’s latest album is called MDNA) but here’s the exchange via Twitter:

“From one mouse to another. I don’t support drug use and I never have. I was referring to the song called ‘Have You Seen Molly’ written by my friend Cedric Gervais who I almost worked with on my last album.” Totally innocent. She probably had no idea what ‘molly’ meant. Deadmau5 replied: “Fair enough, I was just voicing my concerns as i usually do. +1 respect for clearing it up personally.” To which she answered: “Communication is always best. You should have called me first, we could have cleared it up ‘privately’ See you on the road.” Deadmau5 squeaked back: “Sure. Regardless, just be a little more aware of what you *should* represent at EDM events, and I’ll watch my mouth.

She also included a classic photo wearing mouse ears. Pretty clever. PLUR y’all.

Bonnaroo and Ultra Music Festival Announce Dates

Here’s a special post for people who a) still have a job, b) still have the money to take vacations, and c) need to request work off very very very early. Ultra Music Festival have announced the 2011 dates, March 25, 26 & 27, adding a third day to the stark raving madness that has gone down in Miami for the past 12 years. Meanwhile, June 9-12, 2011 marks the tenth anniversary of jam gathering turned rock mega-fest Bonnaroo in Tennessee. It’s a little early to start packing, hell, it’s a little early to buy tickets, but mark you calendars either way. And start doing some sit-ups so you can look sweet when you take your shirt off in the boiling Miami and/or Tennessee heat.
