Don’t be sad when the sun goes down / I’ll never fall in love again

Lady Gaga & Stephin Merritt

Lady Gaga & a wary Stephin Merritt

Lady Gaga has a proposition for you: want to be her “Summerboy”? More specifically, in her track of the same name she sings,

Crazy, get your ass in my bed
Baby, you’ll just be my summer boyfriend

But beware the limitations of this arrangement, as outlined in the chorus:

Don’t be sad when the sun goes down
You’ll wake up and I’m not around
I’ve got to go oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We’ll still have the summer after all

Doesn’t sound all that bad, right? You get to be Gaga’s summer fling, and who wouldn’t want that? Continue reading →

I told you she didn’t have a dick

Just a reminder: last night, this happened:

All I have to say is, LET’S MAKE A SANDWICH. And what what, I fucking love some Thelma and Louise references.

Purple teardrops I cry

Okay kids. Tonight at 11:30pm EST is the official debut of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” video, featuring Beyoncé. It’s evidently a nine minute sequel to her super fabulous “Paparazzi” video, which weighed in at seven minutes. Who’s excited about this? Duh, we are. To get prepared, here’s the video for “Paparazzi.”

It’s kind of like watching the most recent Harry Potter movie to get ready for the new one when it comes out. READY, SET, NERD.

Norah Jones, look out

(Pre-Script: Check out today’s guest post (by yours truly) at the always excellent Almost Four Stars!)

I recently got into a small tiff on another blog with someone about Lady Gaga. I didn’t realize it at the time, but evidently we were arguing about whether or not said Lady is a “musical genius.” And the argument evidently also eventually resolved itself in her favor, after the other party located this video:

I don’t know if I’m qualified to proclaim someone a “musical genius,” and even if I were, few people whose musical output lies entirely in the twenty-first century would receive that title from me. Lady Gaga may or may not be a musical genius-- she’s definitely a respectable songwriter thus far-- but the only thing the above video proves is that she used to be a catastrophically bad (or at least, very immature, as she was 19 when this video was taken) lyricist. My favorite is at the end (around 6:57), where the judge proclaims, “Norah Jones, look out!”

I would like to submit, for your approval, a photograph of another budding artist at the age of 21: Continue reading →
