Oh Lady Gaga, you are so batshit crazy. I love you. If you haven’t seen her performance at the Brit Awards yet, even if you don’t like her usually,click the link below, it’s probably the closest thing I’ve seen to the kind of big production art-pop performances Laurie Anderson and Grace Jones used to do in the 80’s.
UPDATE: Oddly, Tumblr won’t let me post this. So click here to look.
The strange thing with Lady Gaga though is that I stumbled across an article at illuminati conspiracy site The Vigilant Citizen that has kind of infected my ability to enjoy her music without suspicion. They deconstruct her over three articles and at least 80% of what they say is bullshit, but like all conspiracy theories, 20% of it is pretty spooky and irrational. The deconstruction of the Bad Romance clip is particularly effective, but obtuse videos like that do lend themselves to that kind of thing. There’s also this and this (part 2 of the first this), which are kind of odd. Nonetheless, I can’t help but think about this site’s suggestions when I look at her videos/photos etc now.
And they give me another great excuse to hate the Twilight franchise. And the fact that anybody could draw anything from Beyonce’s lame “Sasha Fierce” concept character bullshit and the Crazy In Love video is awesome to me. Or the crowning piece of aceness, a deconstruction of the 2009 VMA’s as an occult initiation ritual for Taylor Swift. In the fairly implausible (but well explored) case that’s it’s true, I can only imagine Kanye saying something like “Imma let you finish, but Baphomet was the greatest…”
Aw hell, while I’m on a conspiracy bender, I may as well keep going. Some of this stuff amuses me occasionally, so I might as well share my favourite conspiracy of all time: Denver Airport, it’s absolutely bizarre. Actually, Vigilant Citizen has written about this as well and that’s probably the easiest place to start if you feel like a conspiracy googlethon. There’s something really, really fucked up going on there. Nasty.
On the other hand, WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? Disco Bunker is just about sold out. Go buy tix NOW!!! Stand by for a further announcement on the weekend ;)
