Born this way?

I am just going to add my (worthless) two cents to the Lady GaGa hysteria that has been going on over the past couple of days but...

I love this album.



It is fun, it is listenable, and more to the point, it makes me want to dance in a way that I reserve for Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. I have given the album several listens now and it is a very good pop/dance album.

There. I said it. I like Gaga.

I am now happy to publicly count myself among her legion of fans.



Who could not love her? She is charming, weird, and funny.

Thank you, Lady Gaga!

Guilty Pleasure Song #4

Who remembers Kon Kan?



Following up Rick Springfield for the other day, this is amazingly bad. It is so bad yet is still memorable.

I remember listening to this while on my paper route, (Can you imagine me with a paper route?) and bopping along.

Dub is a weapon

I don't like dub and dubstep.

However, after seeing Dub is a weapon at Red Square on Friday, I may have to reconsider that sentiment.

Something to die for...

I like the Sounds*, a lot, and I was looking forward to them putting out what they were calling a "dance record".

Then I heard the above song.

I mean, it wasn't bad but it really wasn't good. Not really a dance song, unless the whole rhythm thing is different in the Scandinavian countries.

But then I got the album and I have not been this happy with an album that makes my feet move since I was fifteen.

*I was laughed at after a Yeah Yeah Yeahs show for stating that I liked The Sounds more.

Edit before publishing: I went to the band's website and realized that you can get a free download of a remix of the song which is much better than the album version and much more dance-able.
