Heavy Metal Lover

Occasionally I hear a song that would fit perrrfectly in the movie version of a book or books I've read. Lemme just share one example with you. (If you are avid readers, you occasionally do this, too, right?)

So if you live on Planet Earth and have any sort of inkling about what goes on in the music realm, you'll know that today Lady Gaga has released her album Born This Way. Gaga has also done something new and uploaded all the tracks on her new album to VEVO, which is YouTube's "channel" (I guess you could call it) that's devoted to "official" musicians. You can basically listen to her whole album in good quality on there, and it's been loaded legally because Gaga did it herself.

Now, I go back and forth with Lady Gaga. One minute I think she's great, and the next I'm either totally confused by something she's said publicly or feeling like she does things just for the sake of publicity. But right this minute, however, I am #1) impressed with her generosity to share all the new songs for free, and #2) I'm also kinda diggin' the new album. Might have to get it even.

So back to what I was getting at in the beginning of this post... I've read several paranormal books recently that involve highly erotic club scenes. Books like the Anita Blake series by L. K. Hamilton and the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr, for example. Gaga's new song "Heavy Metal Lover" on the new album would go perrrrrfectly with any one of these sizzling dance scenes in books like I've mentioned--whether hot werewolves, sensual vampires, or lust-worthy faeries are involved. So whoever out there is in the process of making any of these books into movies needs to contact Lady Gaga asap and get her to agree to the use of this song in said club scenes:



I mean, if I were in a club, and say, a mouthwatering paranormal being wanted to dance with me, and this song was playing, I might have to oblige. Just sayin'.

Happy Monday, everybody!

Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" Vid Really Out There

Lady Gaga just keeps getting stranger and stranger, doesn't she?

From the meat dress to showing up at the Grammy's in an egg, the musician definitely has no issue expressing herself creatively.

Her latest music video for the song "Born This Way" is a perfect example of her wonderfully bizarre transformation. Gaga has said in a number of interviews that her influences include David Bowie, who performed as the otherworldly character Ziggy Stardust. "Born This Way" shows traces of Bowie's influence on her artistic expression.

But she's not all Bowie...

I mean, is she really pulling a machine gun out of her *ahem* AREA?

Hmm!

Although she's definitely putting her own spin on the sci-fi genre, I have to say, it is interesting to say the least.

What are you waiting for? Watch it!


Then let me know what you think!


Is her new video groovy or just plain odd?
