Where Have We Seen This Before?

Hey look! It's Beyonce's new video... It starts off with a Reservoir Dogs homage- and I use homage in the way Reservoir Dogs director Quentin Tarantino uses it- meaning they just ripped it off. (So is it actually a City of Fire reference?)

THEN, we get a glitchy shot of several Beyonces while she sings about being video taped- wait, I feel like I've seen this before... where have I seen this before?



Oh right! In our video for Mariah Carey's 'Touch my Body'!

Are we saying Beyonce ripped us off? No. Skip to 2:25 in the Beyonce video...



(Shakes fist at the sky) GAGA!

Why are you doing this to us? Everyone already give you all the surrealing points (like air-miles, but for surrealing) then you have to just start cold-clockery STEALING from us. We have nothing? Why are you doing this to us?

This is war or WaWa.

Hey! Look! Lady Gaga!

As we've said before, we're bored by Lady Gaga- however, people have chosen to ignore us as surrealist tastemakers and continue to refer to her as surreal. Whatever. Here's her new video. I can't say anything else about it, because I haven't watched it. But I'm posting it, because she's surreal right? At least according to you, and you would know right?

Great. Whatever. Hope you're happy.

A Blog Not About Lady Gaga...

People keep wanting us to talk about Lady Gaga- and here's the thing. We don't wanna.

Yeah she wears weird outfits and puts on a crazy show. That's cool, we like that- we like that she's having fun with fashion to the point that she's mocking it and making the audience wonder what the point of it all is. But... first and foremost she's a musician- and her music is awful. Just terrible, worthless crap.

I doubt there will be a popular song worse than "Pokerface" this year- and I hate popular music so I think it's all terrible, but there is something especially scornful about the song's bland forgettable, verse and it's over-simplified chorus. "Pa-pa-pa". It's the sort of song a child would write- if a child were stupid.

So, you're not going to see any Lady Gaga on this blog, until:

A. She abandons music and admits that she is a performance artist above all else.
B. She writes music that isn't awful.

And, Gagadamnit! Can we stop throwing around the word "genius" everytime someone manages to write a pop song?
